Local car removal, run by people who live here
Same Day Car Removal is a Canberra-based car removal service helping households, landlords, workshops and businesses clear unwanted, damaged, scrap and non-running vehicles across the ACT and Queanbeyan.
A small Canberra team, not a national call centre
Somewhere between the online ads that never get a reply and the tow truck that quotes one price and charges another, there’s a much simpler way to get rid of a car.
Same Day Car Removal is run by people who live and work in Canberra. We quote honestly, turn up when we say we will, and take every vehicle to a licensed facility where it’s dismantled and recycled properly.
No franchises, no offshore call centres, no “we’ll see when we get there” pricing. Just a local crew that knows the suburbs, the access issues and the rules that actually affect a collection.
“The price we quote is the price we pay. If it changes, we tell you why — before the truck leaves.”
Built one driveway at a time
We didn’t start with a fleet. We started with one problem that every Canberra household eventually runs into.
One car, one problem
An unregistered wagon in a Curtin driveway that nobody wanted to buy. The ads didn’t work, and every phone call ended in a vague, non-committal quote.
Doing it properly
We bought a tilt tray, sorted the licensing and started collecting cars the way we’d want our own collected — on time, with the price agreed before loading.
More than driveways
Workshops, body shops, landlords and fleet managers started calling. We added flatbeds and the equipment to handle non-runners and tight access.
ACT and NSW, same day
We now cover the whole of the ACT and out into Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra, Googong, Bungendore and Yass — still with the same rule: quote clearly, collect on time.
Promises we don’t break
Six things we get right on every job — whether it’s a single sedan in Curtin or a yard full of utes in Fyshwick.
Clear offers
We explain what affects the figure — condition, model, parts demand, scrap value and access — before you commit.
Careful collection
Flatbed and tilt-tray equipment, plus drivers who know how to get a non-runner out of a tight spot.
Responsible recycling
Vehicles go to licensed facilities for dismantling, fluid recovery and material recycling.
Paperwork guidance
We walk you through disposal notification, plate surrender and registration cancellation.
Local knowledge
We know the suburbs, the access issues and the local rules that affect a car removal.
No pressure
If the offer doesn’t suit you, that’s fine. There’s no obligation and no hard sell.
We know the streets we’re working on
Canberra isn’t a flat grid of wide driveways. Between the steep blocks in the inner north, the tight carports in the townhouses and the long rural drives out past the border, a collection can live or die on the details.
- Steep driveways & tight carports
- Body corporate & apartment parking
- Unregistered & long-dormant vehicles
- Farm, acreage & rural access
- Workshop & panel shop clearances
- ACT and NSW disposal requirements
