What is a car removal service?
A car removal service collects a car you no longer want and takes it away, usually to a wrecking yard. At EMR, cars come back to our yard in Willawong, where the usable parts are pulled and sold. You don't need to get the car running or drive it anywhere. You tell us about it, we agree the details, and we come to you.
Who it's for
Cars we're often asked to take
Unregistered cars
Cars that don't run
Accident-damaged cars
Old cars you've stopped using
Cars left after a move or sale
What to have ready
The quick checklist
The more you tell us up front, the quicker we can give you an answer.
- Make, model and year
- What condition it's in
- Whether it starts, rolls and steers
- Whether it's registered
- The suburb it's in
- Anything that makes it hard to get to, like a tight driveway or no keys
- A couple of photos if you can

What we take
Accepted vehicles
Owner to supplySelling or scrapping a car in Queensland: the paperwork
These are the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) rules. Check them with TMR if you're unsure, because they can change.
If the car is still registered
You can cancel the registration with TMR using the cancellation of registration form (F3517) and hand in both number plates. If the rego is current and in your name, you may get a refund of the unused registration and CTP insurance, less a cancellation fee.
If the registration is transferred instead
The seller and buyer both sign a vehicle registration transfer application (F3520). The seller keeps the seller's copy as proof of sale, and the buyer has 14 days to lodge the transfer.
Before the car goes
Take out any toll tag and update your tolling account, and stop any direct debit for the rego. Clear out the glovebox and boot too.
