Free car removal in Christchurch, with cash for the car
A lot of people expect to pay to have an old car taken away. You do not. When we remove a car we are buying it, so the removal is part of the deal, and you are paid on collection. That holds whether the car still drives, has not started in years, or has been in a crash.
Our car removal Christchurch service covers every suburb in the city, and we often collect the same day or the next day. Further out in Canterbury we agree a pickup day with you and turn up within the time window you choose.
How car removal works
- Send the plate. Use the quote form and add a line about the condition and where the car is parked.
- Get a cash offer. We call or text you back with a figure, usually quickly.
- Choose a pickup time. Pick the window that suits you. A driveway, garage, street or paddock is fine.
- We collect and pay. Our driver removes the car and pays you on collection, and we complete the NZTA change of ownership so the car is no longer your responsibility.
Cars we remove
- Cars that still run but are no longer needed
- Cars with no WOF or expired registration
- Cars that will not start or have a major mechanical fault
- Crash-damaged and insurance write-off vehicles
- Old utes, vans and 4WDs
We buy complete vehicles. The engine, gearbox, panels and interior are what give a car its value, so a whole car is worth paying for even when it looks rough. If parts have already been taken off, tell us when you ask for an offer: a stripped body usually is not something we can collect.
Car disposal without the paperwork headache
Getting rid of a car properly means more than moving it. Once we buy the vehicle we file the notice of disposal with NZTA, so the change of ownership is on record and any future fines or fees are not linked to you. You do not need to deregister the car or hand in the plates first. If you want the detail on the paperwork, our guide to selling to a wrecker covers it.
Removal from difficult spots
Cars that have sat for a long time are often in awkward places: down a long driveway, in a back yard, in a shed or on a lifestyle block. Flat tyres, seized brakes, a dead battery and lost keys are all normal for us. Tell us where the car is and whether it rolls, and our driver comes prepared.
No fees taken out of your money
We are the end buyer, not a listing site or a middleman. There is no sign-up, no bidding, no listing fee and no commission. The figure we agree is the figure you are paid, with nothing deducted for the removal.
Questions about car removal
Do I have to pay for car removal? No. The removal is free, and we pay you for the car.
How quickly can you remove my car? In Christchurch we often collect the same day or the next day. Across wider Canterbury we agree a day and collect within the window you choose.
Do I need to be there when the car is collected? It helps, so we can check the car and pay you on the spot. If that is hard, tell us and we will work out an arrangement.
Will you remove a car that does not run? Yes. Non-running cars are a big part of what we buy. See how we buy cars that do not run.
What areas do you cover? All of Christchurch and Canterbury, from Kaikōura to Waimate. See every area we cover.
