Very efficient, knowledgeable and reliable. I have referred a few friends to A1 after having contacted them to remove my old SUV, all are as satisfied as I am.

Do you have a question?
We may have already answered it, here are some of our most commonly asked questions about damaged car removal
Will I be paid cash for my damaged car?
Since 2018, it has been illegal to pay cash within the scrap metal industry. A1 Car Removals pay via instant bank transfer or a non transferable check. Car Removal companies that guarantee cash payments are providing you with misleading information, if you were to be paid cash by a car removal company yourself and their business are at risk of being penalised by VicRoads.
What cars do you purchase and what ones are removed for free.
A1 Car Removals purchases cars that are complete, this means that major parts ie. engine, wheels, exhaust system etc. must still be on the vehicle. Cars that are not eligible for a payment include cars that have been parted out, major damage non-reparable and cars that are severe rust/weather damage. We recommend contacting our team so we can discuss the condition of the vehicle and its value.
Will I have to pay a removal fee for my damaged car?
There is no removal fee associated with our service unless we are removing an incomplete vehicle. If your vehicle is missing major elements tyres/wheels, engine etc then we so charge a removal fee.
What documentation do I need to have my car removed?
A1 Car Removals requires an Australian drivers license and the keys to the vehicle. If you don’t have an Australian drivers license please contact our team and we will outline what documentation is required to complete the transfer.
