14 recent removals across the ACT & NSW

Every job is different. These are recent collections from Canberra suburbs, Queanbeyan and the surrounding region — accident damage, hail, flood, scrap, non-runners and business fleet clear-outs. Each story explains the vehicle, the collection challenge and how we handled it.

2008 Holden Commodore

Belconnen · Accident damaged

A front-end collision left this Commodore undriveable, with the radiator pushed back and both airbags deployed. It was parked in a townhouse complex with a shared driveway and limited turning space, so we sent a tilt-tray rather than a full-size flatbed. The owner had already received an insurance payout, so the vehicle was released to us once the assessor signed off. We confirmed the offer by phone, collected within 48 hours, and recycled the shell at a licensed facility. The strata manager was notified in advance so neighbours weren't blocked in.

2011 Toyota Corolla

Gungahlin · Non-running

This Corolla had been sitting in a Gungahlin driveway for eighteen months after a failed head gasket. It was unregistered, the battery was flat and the tyres had started to perish. Because the car still rolled and steered, we were able to load it with a tilt-tray rather than needing a winch. We checked the steering lock and confirmed the owner had the registration papers. The offer reflected the parts value — the engine block was salvageable — and the car was gone within the same week it was booked.

2003 Ford Falcon Ute

Tuggeranong · Scrap

Twenty years old, rusted through the tray and with no registration, this Falcon ute was never going back on the road. It had been parked in a Tuggeranong backyard for years and the owner just wanted the space back. We assessed it on site — the tray and body panels were too far gone for parts, but the alloy wheels and gearbox still had scrap value. Loaded with a winch onto a flatbed and taken to a licensed dismantler. The whole process, from first call to collection, took three days.

2016 Mitsubishi Triton

Queanbeyan · Hail damaged

Hail damage across every panel made this 2016 Triton an insurance write-off. The owner had been told the repair cost exceeded the vehicle's value, so the insurer settled and released the car. It was sitting at a Queanbeyan panel shop waiting for collection. Because the vehicle was still driveable, we loaded it directly onto a flatbed from the workshop forecourt. The offer took the damaged bodywork into account but recognised the strong mechanicals — the 2.4-litre diesel and automatic gearbox were both in good condition.

2014 Mazda 3

Woden · Damaged

A rear-end collision left this Mazda 3 with a crumpled boot floor and a cracked rear windscreen. It was still driveable, but the repair quote came in well above what the car was worth. The owner lived in a Woden apartment block with an underground car park and a low clearance of 2.1 metres, so we sent our smaller tilt-tray. We confirmed the offer after seeing photos of the damage, collected on a weekday morning, and completed the disposal paperwork on the spot. The car was recycled within the week.

2012 Hyundai i30

Fyshwick · Flood damaged

After a storm flooded the car park at a Fyshwick business, this Hyundai i30 was waterlogged to the door handles. The interior was full of silt, the electronics were dead and mould had already started to set in. Because of the contamination risk, our crew wore protective gear and the vehicle was loaded onto a flatbed without being started. The owner was a local business that needed the space cleared quickly. We handled the collection the next morning, provided documentation for the insurer, and sent the car for proper depollution and recycling.

2010 Honda Civic

Curtin · Cash for cars

This Honda Civic was still running and registered, but the owner had bought a new car and no longer needed it. It had 190,000 kilometres on the clock, a few cosmetic scratches and a worn driver's seat, but the mechanicals were sound. We gave a cash offer over the phone based on the photos, then confirmed it on arrival. The owner wanted a quick sale without the hassle of listing it privately. We collected on a Saturday morning, paid on the spot and completed the transfer paperwork. The car was later sold on rather than scrapped.

2009 Subaru Forester

Weston Creek · Non-running

A failed gearbox left this Forester stuck at the top of a steep Weston Creek driveway. The car wouldn't move under its own power, and the owner couldn't safely roll it down. We sent a flatbed with a winch and pulled the vehicle out slowly, using wheel chocks to control the descent. The steering still worked, which made positioning easier. The owner had owned the car since new and wanted it to go to a recycler rather than sit and rot. We confirmed the offer before the winch was attached.

2013 Nissan Navara

Jerrabomberra · Damaged ute

This Navara had been in an off-road incident that bent the chassis and cracked the front differential housing. It was parked on a residential street in Jerrabomberra and couldn't be driven. We arranged a police-approved parking exemption with the owner while the collection was being scheduled, then loaded the ute onto a tilt-tray using a winch. The 4WD system and tray were still in reasonable condition, which lifted the offer slightly. The owner was upgrading to a newer ute and wanted the old one gone before the new one arrived.

1998 Toyota Camry

Yass · Old car

This Camry had been parked on a rural Yass property for six years, slowly sinking into the grass. The rego had lapsed long ago, the tyres were flat and there was rust around the wheel arches. Because it was a 30-minute drive from Canberra, we confirmed everything by phone and photos before making the trip. The car still rolled, so we winched it onto the flatbed from the paddock. The owner was clearing the property for sale. We handled the NSW disposal paperwork and removed the car the same day we assessed it.

2015 Kia Sportage

Googong · Flood damaged

A storm drain overflowed into an underground car park at Googong, leaving this Sportage submerged to the windows. The interior was soaked, the ECU was fried and the carpets were growing mould within days. The body corporate needed the vehicle removed quickly for safety and insurance reasons. We coordinated access with the building manager, sent a crew with protective equipment, and loaded the car onto a flatbed without attempting to start it. The insurer had already written the vehicle off, so we handled the recycling and provided a disposal certificate.

2001 Holden Rodeo

Bungendore · Scrap

This Rodeo had been a farm ute for two decades before the engine seized. It was parked in a paddock near Bungendore with a rusted tray, a cracked windscreen and no registration. The owner wanted it gone but couldn't move it. We drove out, assessed the vehicle on site, and confirmed the scrap value before loading. Because the ground was soft from recent rain, we used the flatbed's winch rather than driving onto the grass. The ute was removed the same afternoon and taken for dismantling.

Three Ford Rangers utes collected from a business in Fyshwick

3 × Ford Rangers

Fyshwick · Business fleet

A Fyshwick trade business was ending a lease on three Ford Rangers at once. All three were 2018 models with around 140,000 kilometres, minor panel damage and full service histories. Rather than book three separate collections, we arranged a single morning pickup, loading each ute onto the flatbed in sequence. We provided itemised documentation for the business's accounting and confirmed the combined offer in writing before the trucks arrived. The fleet was cleared by lunchtime, freeing up the yard for the incoming vehicles.

2017 Volkswagen Golf

Kingston · Accident damaged

A side-impact collision wrote off this Golf, with the driver's door pushed in and both side airbags deployed. The car was sitting at a Kingston body shop after the insurer had assessed it. Because the vehicle was in a tight inner-south street with limited parking, we scheduled the collection for early morning before the commuter traffic. The body shop confirmed the vehicle was released to us, and we loaded it onto a tilt-tray without needing to move it far. The alloy wheels and infotainment system were still valuable, which lifted the offer.
