Car wreckers Austral for vehicles that no longer fit your plans
An old car can stay parked long after it has been replaced. Active Dismantlers buys unwanted, damaged, non-running, scrap and junk vehicles from Austral owners. Request an assessment based on its condition now, without repairing it just for a quote.
Give us the make, model and year, then describe why it is no longer being used. Include known mechanical faults, body damage and any removed parts. If you do not know why it stopped starting, explain that rather than guessing at a diagnosis.
Tell us where it is currently parked and whether it rolls and steers. We can discuss an offer and collection feasibility before you agree to sell. There is no need to move a non-runner to another address just to start the enquiry.
For a vehicle you are keeping, ask about used replacement parts instead. We check requests for small fittings and major assemblies against the component and vehicle details supplied.
Can I enquire before moving house or clearing a property?
Yes. Explain the vehicle, location and your preferred timeframe. Collection availability needs confirmation; do not treat the enquiry itself as a guaranteed booking.
What if the car has not moved for a long time?
Describe its present condition and whether its wheels and steering move. Include flat tyres or missing parts so the collection discussion reflects the actual vehicle.
Use the correct entrance for your Austral collection enquiry
Contact our car wreckers in Sydney with the full address and the car's position. For an Austral property, explain the current entrance and approach rather than assuming the street address identifies the route to the vehicle.
If a gate, changed driveway or work around the property affects access, mention it before agreeing on collection. Describe the surface, turning room and anything stored in the way. Those are questions about the individual site, not assumptions about every address.
Tell us if keys are unavailable, wheels are missing or the steering is locked. Have photographs of the approach ready if the team needs them. If somebody else controls entry, confirm who can provide access at the agreed handover.
Settle the offer, included components, payment arrangements and any transport costs before accepting. Remove personal belongings and have ownership information ready. Advise the team if access or the vehicle's location changes after assessment.
Describe the car
Include its identity, condition and completeness.
Describe the entrance
Explain the approach and anything affecting access today.
Confirm collection terms
Agree on price, costs and the contact providing entry.
What if the usual driveway cannot currently be used?
Explain the available approach before collection is booked. The team needs to review the actual route and confirm suitability rather than assume an alternative entrance works.
Can I keep parts from the car before sale?
Identify what you intend to retain before the assessment. Any changes to the included components need to be reflected in the final agreement.
Identify the replacement before comparing prices
Austral customers can enquire about used engines, gearboxes, lights, panels, mirrors, electrical parts and interior fittings. Give us the item your repairer needs, including whether it is an assembly or an individual component.
Makes include Ford, Toyota, Holden, Mitsubishi, Mazda and Hyundai, with enquiries welcome for others. Add the model year and relevant engine or variant details.
Original part numbers and label photographs can help separate similar versions. Confirm what is included before comparing quotes, especially for a major assembly. Used parts can cost substantially less than new replacements, with condition, demand and rarity affecting each price. Availability is checked for the required item.
Can you supply panels and lights as well as engines?
Enquiries cover both mechanical and body components. Specify the side, position and required fittings so the available item can be checked against the repair.
Should my mechanic confirm a proposed replacement?
Yes. Have them review the specification before purchase, particularly where different versions share the same model badge or similar appearance.
Agree on the actual destination for the part
Discuss pickup or paid delivery to Austral or your repair workshop. Give the complete receiving address and contact, including entry instructions if required. Small eligible items may travel by courier, while heavy assemblies and large panels need suitable freight and unloading. Batteries and tyres are not sent by courier.
Qualified staff check and test our used parts. Employees carry out removal, with no pick-your-own dismantling. Confirm the specific item's condition and pickup readiness before travelling.
Shipping is charged separately from the component. Faulty items and parts supplied incorrectly can be returned. We do not offer change-of-mind returns for incorrectly requested parts, or an additional voluntary warranty. Applicable Australian Consumer Law rights remain unaffected.
Can delivery go to a workshop outside Austral?
Use that workshop's receiving details for the freight quote. The delivery arrangement is based on the actual destination, not the address of the vehicle owner.
Does a large-part delivery need someone available to receive it?
Agree on the receiving contact, hours and unloading requirements before freight is booked. Do not assume a heavy item can be left without suitable arrangements.
