What Should You Remove From a Car Before It Goes to a Wrecker?

If you’re planning to send an unwanted vehicle to a wrecker, there are a few things worth checking before the car is collected.

First, remove any personal belongings from the glovebox, boot, centre console, and door compartments. It’s also a good idea to take out parking permits, toll tags, documents, and anything else that is connected to you personally.

If the vehicle has valuable accessories that you installed yourself, such as a dash camera or aftermarket stereo, you may also want to decide whether you want to keep them.

Before handing over the vehicle, make sure you have the necessary ownership and registration documents available. Taking a few photos of the vehicle before collection can also be useful for your own records.

For Canberra vehicle owners, services such as AEG Cash for Cars can be an option when arranging the removal of unwanted or end-of-life vehicles.
