Questions & answers

Cash for cars Whakatāne — FAQ

Everything you need to know about selling your scrap, junk or unwanted vehicle to us in the Eastern Bay.

How much cash can I get for my car in Whakatāne?

We pay up to $9,990 depending on the make, model, condition, and demand for your vehicle. Most unwanted and scrap vehicles fall between $300 and $5,000. Every quote is free and confirmed on inspection.

Do you remove cars for free in Whakatāne?

Yes — 100% free removal anywhere in Whakatāne and the surrounding Eastern Bay of Plenty. No towing fees, no hidden charges. We bring the truck to you.

How fast can you pick up my vehicle?

In most cases we offer same-day pickup — often within hours of your call. We'll always turn up when we say we will.

Do you buy non-running or scrap vehicles?

Absolutely. We buy cars, utes, vans and trucks in any condition — non-running, no WOF, no rego, flood or accident damaged, or completely dead. We are scrap and unwanted vehicle buyers, not a used-car dealer.

What paperwork do I need?

Just photo ID (an NZ licence is perfect) and proof of ownership. We bring the NZTA MR13B change-of-ownership form and complete it with you on-site.

What areas do you cover?

All of Whakatāne plus Ōhope, Coastlands, Edgecumbe, Awakeri, Te Teko, Taneatua, Waimana, Matatā, Kawerau, Ōpōtiki and the wider Eastern Bay of Plenty.

Are you a used-car dealer?

No — this is a common mix-up. We don't sell cars and we don't do trade-ins. We're vehicle buyers and wreckers: we pay you cash for scrap, junk, damaged and unwanted cars, utes, vans and trucks, and remove them free.

How do I know your quote is fair?

We assess vehicle weight, recyclable metals, make and model, parts demand and resale potential, then give you a top offer upfront. The number we quote is the number you're paid — no deductions at pickup.

What do you do with my car after removal?

It goes to certified wreckers. Hazardous fluids are drained safely, reusable parts are recovered, and steel, copper and aluminium are recycled. Over 90% of your vehicle is reused or recycled.

Can you remove an abandoned vehicle?

If it's legally yours, yes — and we can pay you for it. If it's not, you'll need to confirm legal ownership or go through the council first. We handle the deregistration either way.
