ACTIVEDISMANTLERSACTIVEDISMANTLERSGot a car in Parramatta that you no longer want to repair? Active Dismantlers buys old, accident-damaged, broken-down, scrap and junk cars. Tell us what you have and where it is parked to start a vehicle quote, whether the engine still runs or the car has been sitting unused.
You do not need to spend money getting a non-starter running just to ask about selling it. A failed engine, damaged bodywork or several repair bills can all be reasons to move a car on. We assess the vehicle in its current condition, including its make, model, age and remaining components, before discussing an offer.
For an accurate assessment, describe any missing parts as well as the faults. A complete car with a failed transmission is a different enquiry from a stripped shell. If you only know that it will not start, say that; you do not need to diagnose the problem yourself.
Keeping your vehicle instead? We also supply used replacement parts for Parramatta owners and repairers. The parts sections below explain what to send us so we can check the right component for your repair.
Yes, you can request a quote for a car with either fault. Include the vehicle details, whether it can roll and steer, and any parts already removed. The offer depends on the individual vehicle.
Yes. Tell us how long it has been parked, whether the keys are available and what you know about its condition. Flat tyres, seized wheels or restricted access should be mentioned when discussing collection.
Our Sydney car wreckers can discuss the sale and collection together, so you know what is involved before handing over the car. Start with the address and parking position: a home driveway, apartment garage, workshop yard or street space each needs a different access discussion.
For a vehicle in a Parramatta CBD parking space, describe the signs and available access near the car. For an apartment basement, provide the height clearance, ramp layout and any gate or building-manager arrangements. These details help us assess collection feasibility before you commit to a time.
If a repairer is holding the vehicle, let them know you are considering selling it and ask how the car can be released. Tell us whether it is assembled, on its wheels and accessible for loading. Agree on any arrangements with the workshop before booking a handover.
Before accepting an offer, confirm which vehicle and loose components are included, the payment arrangements, any collection charges and the agreed collection plan. Remove your personal belongings and have your ownership information ready. Do not arrange another tow simply to request a quote; discuss the car's current position with us first.
Give us the make, model, year, known damage and missing components. Have clear photographs ready if the team needs them.
Tell us where the car is parked, whether it rolls and steers, and what could restrict loading.
Agree on the offer, payment and collection arrangements before releasing the vehicle.
Tell us the clearance and access layout first. Collection depends on the vehicle's position and suitable equipment; a standard collection arrangement should not be assumed to fit every basement.
You can discuss your availability when enquiring. Confirm the offer and access arrangements with the team before treating a collection time as booked.
If you are repairing a car rather than selling it, ask Active Dismantlers about used parts before committing to a replacement. We handle requests for engines, transmissions, doors, bumpers, lights, mirrors, electrical components, interior fittings and smaller items. Availability is checked against your enquiry, so contact us for the particular part you need.
We supply used parts across Japanese, Korean, Australian, European and American makes, including Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Honda, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, Ford and Holden, as well as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. Send the model and year with your request; a badge alone does not identify every compatible component.
If your mechanic has asked you to find the part, get their specification or original part number first. For an engine or gearbox, include the engine and transmission details. For a light or mirror, identify the side and relevant fittings. A photograph of the original label or connector can help resolve differences between variants.
Used parts can cost much less than new replacements, making them worth considering when the rest of the vehicle still meets your needs. The price depends on the actual item, its condition and demand. Ask what is included in the quote, especially when an assembly may be supplied with or without attached components.
Include the make, model, year and the part you need in your enquiry. The team may need further identification, such as a part number or vehicle specification, before confirming a match.
Describe the individual item first, such as a door handle, mirror housing or tailgate latch. We will check what can be supplied and explain whether the available part is separate or part of a larger assembly.
Tell us whether you want to collect the part or need paid delivery to your Parramatta address or repair workshop. Before travelling, confirm that the item is available and ready for pickup. Our employees remove the components; customers cannot enter the yard to dismantle vehicles or pick their own parts.
Qualified staff check and test the used parts we sell. Ask about the specific item's condition, any visible wear and what comes with it. For a body panel, discuss the finish and any marks; for a mechanical assembly, confirm the identification and included fittings with your repairer before ordering.
Delivery is charged separately. Small eligible parts can travel by courier, while an engine, transmission, door or bumper may need larger freight arrangements. If delivery is to a workshop, give us its receiving contact and confirm how a heavy item can be unloaded. Batteries and tyres are not sent by courier; discuss suitable arrangements for those items directly.
We accept returns for faulty parts and items we supplied incorrectly. We do not offer change-of-mind returns when a customer has ordered the wrong part, so resolve compatibility questions before paying. We do not provide an additional voluntary warranty; applicable Australian Consumer Law rights remain unaffected.
Yes, discuss delivery to the workshop when ordering. Provide the full delivery address, contact person and receiving hours, and confirm any unloading requirements for large or heavy components. Freight charges are agreed separately.
Contact us with the order details and explain the problem before arranging a return. We accept returns for faulty items and parts we supplied incorrectly, subject to applicable consumer rights.
