Car wreckers Alexandria for the car you are selling or repairing
Active Dismantlers buys unwanted cars in Alexandria, from a running vehicle you have replaced to a broken-down car you no longer want to repair. Old, damaged, scrap and junk vehicles can all be assessed. Send the make, model, year and current condition to start a quote.
If your car is already at a workshop, you can discuss a sale before arranging another move. Tell us what the mechanic has found, whether work has started and if any components are detached. An assessment needs to reflect the vehicle as it will be handed over, including anything missing.
For a car at home or work, explain whether it starts and where it is parked. You do not need to repair a non-starter just to enquire. We will discuss the vehicle, offer and collection requirements before you commit to selling.
Repairing instead? We also check used replacement parts for Alexandria owners and repairers. Request the component your mechanic needs, with availability and price confirmed against the vehicle details.
Can I sell a car after a mechanic has started dismantling it?
You can enquire. List the components removed, what remains fitted and whether the car is on its wheels. Agree on which detached parts are included before the vehicle is assessed.
Do you need an exact diagnosis for a non-running car?
Describe the symptoms and any findings you already have. If the cause is unknown, say so; an enquiry does not require you to commission further repairs or diagnosis first.
Coordinate the vehicle release and Alexandria collection
Speak with our Sydney car wreckers about the car's actual position and who can release it. For an Alexandria workshop, business premises or residential address, provide the full address and the access details relevant to that site.
A workshop collection needs a contact who knows which vehicle is being sold. Check whether the car is assembled enough to roll and whether detached items will be ready with it. Agree with the repairer on release arrangements before confirming a handover with us.
If the vehicle is in a shared loading area or behind a security gate, explain the available hours and entry requirements. For street parking, describe the signs and approach to the car. Do not assume a nearby loading space can be used without checking suitable arrangements.
Confirm the agreed vehicle description, offer, payment method and any collection charges. Have your ownership information available and clear personal items from the vehicle. We will confirm collection timing directly once the car and access have been discussed.
Identify the sale
List the vehicle, known faults and included detached components.
Nominate the contact
Tell us who can provide keys and access at the receiving address.
Agree on handover
Confirm the offer, payment and collection plan before release.
Can collection be arranged around business opening hours?
Give us the hours during which the vehicle can be accessed. The team will discuss availability and confirm an agreed time; submitting a quote does not book a collection slot.
Should the workshop move the car outside first?
Explain its current position before asking anyone to move it. Confirm the access and loading plan with the team so the vehicle is not relocated unnecessarily.
Give your repairer the used-part specification to check
A useful parts enquiry starts with the component and the vehicle it must fit. Alexandria customers can request used engines, transmissions, panels, lights, mirrors, electrical parts and cabin fittings. Tell us whether you need a complete assembly or one item from it.
We handle enquiries for Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Ford and Mazda, among other makes. Availability is checked individually, rather than assumed from the manufacturer name.
If a mechanic has given you a parts list, include the specifications and original part numbers where available. For multiple items, identify each separately. A request for a left headlight and a bumper should also explain the vehicle variant and which attached fittings are needed.
Used components can lower the supply cost compared with buying new. Ask for the quoted condition and what is included, then have your repairer confirm compatibility. The final price depends on the item, demand and availability, rather than one discount applied across every order.
Can my workshop enquire on my behalf?
Yes. They can provide the required part and vehicle specifications directly. Make clear who is placing the order and who will receive it so the supply arrangements can be confirmed.
Will every item on a repair list be available together?
Each component needs an availability check. Send the full list and the team can explain what can be supplied, including any assemblies quoted with attached fittings.
Keep the order details and workshop delivery aligned
For delivery to an Alexandria repairer, provide the business name, exact receiving address and contact for the order. Confirm receiving hours and any entry instructions. A workshop address alone may not identify the right person or unloading point.
Qualified staff check and test the used parts we sell. Our employees remove the components; customers cannot pick their own parts from vehicles. Discuss the specific item's condition and confirm it is ready before travelling for pickup.
Freight is charged separately. Small eligible items can travel by courier, while engines, transmissions and large panels may require truck delivery. Confirm unloading arrangements for heavy items. Batteries and tyres are not sent by courier and need their own discussion with the team.
We accept returns for faulty parts and items we supplied incorrectly. There is no change-of-mind return for an item the customer ordered incorrectly, or additional voluntary warranty. Applicable Australian Consumer Law rights remain unaffected.
Can a delivery be left with a different business in the same building?
Agree on the receiving arrangements before transport is booked. Provide the intended recipient and clear instructions rather than assuming another business can accept the order.
What do I need when reporting an incorrect supplied item?
Contact us with the order details and explain how the item differs from what was agreed. Discuss the return before sending anything back.
