Call 0800 705 243 for a specific quote β we give accurate figures based on your exact vehicle and damage description.
Selling Your Write-Off to Us vs Through Insurance
If your insurer is offering you a payout and wants to keep the salvage, ask them how much they're valuing the salvage at. In many cases, we'll pay more for the damaged vehicle directly, which could increase your overall recovery. Call us first with your vehicle details.
Free Same-Day Collection of Accident Damaged Cars
Your accident damaged car doesn't need to be driveable β we bring a flatbed truck. We collect from Henderson, New Lynn, Avondale, Hobsonville, and every other West Auckland suburb.
Accident Damaged Cars in West Auckland β The Full Picture
After a crash you have two choices: an expensive repair, or selling the car as-is for cash. We buy accident-damaged cars in any state β light front-end knocks, heavy structural damage, rolled or stripped β and pay on the undamaged parts and the metal. If your insurer has written it off, you can often keep the wreck and sell it to us on top of your payout.
What we handle
- Light to heavy collision and structural damage
- Insurance write-offs (statutory and uneconomic)
- Non-drivable and towed-in vehicles
- Cars with airbag deployment or flood/fire damage
Even a badly damaged car holds value in its undamaged panels, engine, gearbox and running gear. We assess what's salvageable and pay for it β frequently more than the salvage figure an insurer offers.
How Accident Damaged Cars Works β Step by Step
- Tell us about the vehicle. Call 0800 705 243 or send your plate and a description; we value it on live parts and scrap data.
- Get a firm cash offer. A real figure, not a "from" price that drops when we arrive.
- Free same-day collection. Our truck comes to your West Auckland address, running or not β we winch and load it at no charge.
- Get paid, paperwork handled. Cash or bank transfer before the vehicle leaves, and we complete the NZTA change of ownership for you.

Eco-Friendly Recycling & Paperwork
Every vehicle we take is processed to NZ environmental standards β fluids drained safely, battery, tyres and catalytic converter recovered, usable parts reused, and the steel shell recycled. We complete the NZTA notice of disposal at collection, so ownership and any future liability leave your name the same day. No WoF or current rego is needed to sell. See our Trust & Credentials for how to verify us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy cars with major accident damage?
Yes β all levels of damage including rollover, severe front/rear, fire, and total loss.
My car was written off β can I still sell it to you?
Often yes. Many owners keep the written-off vehicle and sell it to us for cash on top of their insurance payout. Check your policy first.
Do you buy cars that can't be driven?
Yes β we tow accident-damaged and non-drivable cars at no charge.
How do you price a damaged car?
On the value of the undamaged parts plus metal β so a car with a good engine and clean panels pays well even with heavy damage elsewhere.
Do you pay more than an insurer's salvage valuation?
Often yes β we recover full parts value, not just scrap metal. Call us before accepting any salvage offer.
Can you collect immediately after an accident?
Yes β we offer same-day collection. Call 0800 705 243 and we'll arrange it.
