How our Sunshine Coast cash for cars service works

The process is designed to be straightforward so you always know what comes next.

1

Tell us about your car

Provide the make, model, year and overall condition of the vehicle. Mention whether it is still driveable, has major mechanical issues or is considered a write-off.

2

Receive a cash offer

Using the information you provide, we calculate a fair offer based on the recyclable value of the vehicle and current market conditions. You can accept or decline—there is no obligation.

3

Choose a pickup time

If you decide to go ahead, we book a collection time that works with your schedule. The driver confirms access, including gates, carports or tight driveways.

4

We collect the vehicle and pay you

On arrival, we confirm your identification, complete simple paperwork and finalise payment. The vehicle is then loaded and removed, leaving your space clear.

Types of vehicles we buy on the Sunshine Coast

A1 Wreckers considers a wide range of vehicles, from everyday runabouts through to work utes and family SUVs. If you are unsure whether your car qualifies, it is still worth asking for a quote.

Everyday cars

  • Small hatchbacks and sedans used for commuting.
  • Family cars that are now surplus to requirements.
  • Older vehicles that no longer justify registration costs.

Work and lifestyle vehicles

  • Trade utes and light commercials with heavy wear and tear.
  • 4x4s that have suffered mechanical damage from off-road use.
  • Vans previously used for deliveries or small business fleets.

Damaged or not-running cars

  • Accident damaged vehicles that are not economical to repair.
  • Engine, gearbox or electrical failures that prevent driving.
  • Cars that have been sitting for a long time and will not start.

Sunshine Coast suburbs we frequently service

The team regularly travels across the Sunshine Coast region, from coastal suburbs to hinterland communities. Common pickup locations include Maroochydore, Caloundra, Kawana Waters, Mooloolaba, Buderim, Nambour, Noosa and many of the surrounding areas.

If your suburb is not listed, you are still welcome to reach out. Travel can often be arranged as part of the quote, particularly when the vehicle is easy to access and ready to be removed.

Before your pickup day

  • Remove personal belongings from the cabin and boot.
  • Ensure there is a clear path for the tow truck to reach the vehicle.
  • Have your driver licence and proof of ownership ready.
  • Let us know about steep driveways or tight access in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a roadworthy certificate to sell my car?

No. Because the vehicle is being sold for wrecking and recycling, a roadworthy inspection is not required. This is one of the main reasons many owners prefer to sell directly to an auto wrecker instead of repairing and re-registering an older car.

What documents should I have ready?

Having identification and evidence that you are the owner or authorised seller helps keep the process smooth. If you are unsure what is acceptable, the team can guide you before the booking is confirmed.

Can you take a vehicle that is not running?

In many cases, yes. Non-running cars, utes and 4x4s are common, provided there is safe access for the truck to load them. Discuss the vehicle's condition when you request a quote so appropriate equipment can be organised.

Is there any obligation when I ask for a quote?

No. Quotes are obligation free. You are welcome to compare options and only proceed if the offer and timing work for you.
