It has finally come time for me to say goodbye to my trusty steed and send it to the trash pile in the sky. Unforunately, Canberra’s internet presence for Auto Wreckers seems to be minimal to non-existant. So here I come to request from the wealth of experience that is RiotACT.

Rumours have it that you can be paid to have the car destroyed and the only issue I have is that the car is unmovable.

Can’t start your engine’s and give me your finest advice!

I hear you leave your car in tharwa overnight, it will either be gone, or smouldering charcoal the next morning

Any major road in Canberra, you can dump your car there. I saw 3 today.

Another vote for ezyscrap. They removed a friends vehicle even after 2 doors, lights, gearbox, diff and 2 wheels were removed, they’ll simply bring out a tilt-tray and winch it up on dollys. You can even call them and get them to come out for a free quote.

Another option is to list it on allclassifieds as a wrecking car. People will pay you good money for a car for parts, possibly more than ezyscrap might pay.

when i thought my car was a lost cause i found a guy in allhomes classifieds who offered to pay you $100 for your dead car. i called him and he came to get it – he popped the hood and had a look and said i could get it fixed for less than $200 and sell it for a grand. he was right and i did. how about that for honesty?!!!!

What make/model? Maybe your steed can provide parts for other RiotACT owned steeds, before EzyScrap take it.

There are these things called newspapers. In them they are known to print advertisements. Some of these advertisements carry claims that they will come and pay you for your car and take it away. others perform the same service, but require that you pay them.

Go for a walk and find your suburbs car hoarder.. they will be super happy to add your car to their collection.

Phone up a couple of the wreckers in Queanbeyan and see if they will take it. They might even give you a few bucks for it. Get a price from EzyScrap first, and take whatever is highest.

Ah, dependable RiotACT!

I think they even pay you.

Ezy Scrap could be the go. I think they are located at Mitchell.

They’re even in the first page of Google results along with several other options.
