What Affects Your Scrap Car's Value in Theodore
Scrap cars are valued differently from cars bought for resale. The main things that shape your offer:
- Weight and metal content – The starting point for any scrap vehicle. Utes, vans and larger cars carry more recoverable steel than small hatchbacks.
- Scrap metal prices – These move with the market and set the floor under every vehicle, which is why an old quote may not hold today.
- What's still attached – Engine, gearbox, catalytic converter, wheels, battery, panels and glass all add value. Each missing component lowers the offer.
- Reusable parts – Even on a scrap car, a working alternator, starter motor, diff or good set of doors has a market. With so many workshops and mechanics in Fyshwick, common models tend to have steady parts demand.
- Make and model – Popular vehicles usually have stronger demand for used components than rare ones.
Give us the VIN and a description of what’s missing, and we can quote a firm number rather than a range.
Help You To Find Perfect Car
How its Works
01
Call us or send the online form with the make, model, year, and what is still on the vehicle — engine, gearbox, wheels, panels.
02
A real number, usually within minutes, based on weight plus anything salvageable. No obligation to accept it.
03
Most often the same day, Saturdays included. Our tilt trays handle vehicles that will not start, steer or roll.
04
Our driver hands over the agreed amount and completes the ACT notice of disposal with you on the spot.
The Paperwork — What You Actually Need In The ACT
Bring to the pickup:
- Photo ID — driver licence or passport
- Proof of ownership — registration papers, a previous sale receipt, or the rego certificate
- The Key if you still have them (missing keys are not a dealbreaker)
We complete the notice of disposal with Access Canberra with you at collection, which transfers responsibility away from you immediately and leaves you with a copy. This is the step that matters when scrapping a car — without it, the vehicle stays in your name.
Still carrying plates? Remove them before we load and return them to Access Canberra. You may be entitled to a refund on any unused registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it cost anything to scrap a car?
No. You are paid, never charged. There is no disposal fee and no towing fee at any point.
How is the price worked out?
Scrap weight sets the floor. On top of that we add the value of any usable engine, gearbox, diff, panels or wheels still on the vehicle.

No. We take unregistered, defected and deregistered vehicles. You will just need proof the car is yours

Photo ID and proof of ownership. We complete the ACT notice of disposal with you at pickup so the vehicle leaves your name.
