At 1800 Salvage, we provide a fast, stress-free way for you to get rid of your damaged, written-off, unregistered or unwanted vehicle in Canberra. And we’ll pay cash for it, too.

We are a dedicated scrap car buyer and will buy your car no matter the level of damage. Simply fill in our short online form or speak to one of our friendly staff, and we’ll send you a generous and free cash quote for your scrap car.
