Non-Running Car Removal in Canberra & Queanbeyan

Engine failure, gearbox problems, electrical faults or a car that simply won't start — you don't need to get it running before we collect. Non-running vehicles are loaded onto a flatbed or tilt tray.

Non-running car removal Canberra — vehicle loaded on a flatbed

Non-Running Car Removal

There's a wide range of "won't start" — a flat battery, a blown head gasket, a seized motor, a dead gearbox, a fried ECU, or a fuel pump that stopped working two suburbs from home. Whatever the reason, the outcome is the same: the car has to move, and it can't move under its own power. That's exactly the job we do every day.

What's included

  • Flatbed or tilt-tray loading
  • Winching where needed
  • Collection from driveways and garages
  • Offer confirmed before loading
  • Payment on pickup
How we operateWe confirm whether the wheels turn, whether the steering locks and what access is like. The driver arrives with the right equipment and loads without needing the engine to start.

Two cars we removed this month

Blown head gasket car collected from a Franklin underground car park

A blown head gasket in an underground car park

A Franklin apartment dweller had a blown head gasket on a 2012 Mazda 3 that wouldn't hold coolant. The car was in a basement car park with a 2.1m clearance. We sent a low-clearance tilt tray, winched the car up the ramp and paid on pickup. No drama, no damage to the paint or the pillar.

Gearbox failure car collected from a Woden mechanic
Woden · Gearbox failure

A gearbox failure on the way home from work

A driver's Commodore lost its gearbox on the way home and was already at a mechanic in Woden when they called. We arranged collection with the mechanic, settled the storage fee, and paid the owner the agreed figure on pickup. The vehicle was dismantled at a licensed facility the following week.

Our process

How non-running removal works

01

Confirm the condition

Does it roll? Does it steer? What's the access like? These three questions decide the equipment.

02

Match the equipment

Flatbed, tilt tray or winch — we bring what's needed so we don't turn up with the wrong truck.

03

Confirm the offer

A firm figure before the truck is dispatched. No deduction at the kerb.

04

Load and pay

The driver loads without needing the engine to start, then pays on the spot.
