A Simple Way To Remove An Unwanted Vehicle

An unwanted vehicle can become a problem when it no longer runs, cannot be registered or simply takes up valuable space.

Burton Wreckers makes disposal easier by providing free car pickup across Adelaide as part of a complete vehicle removal service.

From your initial enquiry through to collection, you deal with one business that coordinates the pickup and manages the vehicle through its next stage.

How Free Car Removal Works

Arranging free car removal is straightforward, with our team guiding you from your initial enquiry through to vehicle collection.

  1. Contact Our Team

    Get in touch with Burton Wreckers and provide basic details about your vehicle, its condition and its location.

  2. Confirm Your Collection

    We’ll review the information, discuss any access requirements and arrange a suitable collection time.

  3. Vehicle Pickup

    Our team arrives at the agreed location, safely loads the vehicle and completes the collection as arranged.

  4. Responsible Vehicle Processing

    The vehicle is transported to our Burton facility for professional dismantling and environmentally responsible recycling.

When Free Car Removal Is The Right Choice

Customers arrange vehicle removal for many different reasons. Some vehicles have been damaged beyond repair, while others are no longer economical to maintain or simply no longer needed.

We commonly remove:

  • Non-running vehicles
  • Accident-damaged cars
  • Unregistered vehicles
  • Cars with major mechanical faults
  • Vehicles left unused for extended periods
  • Estate clearance vehicles
  • Property clean-up vehicles
  • Commercial fleet vehicles
  • Cars occupying valuable space

If you’re unsure whether your vehicle is suitable, provide its details and location so we can assess the collection.
