CarScrapDealer.com.au is an independent information resource built to help people understand how car wreckers, dismantlers and scrap dealers operate in Australia, how to check that a dealer is legitimate, what they are responsible for and what proof of disposal you should expect to receive.
Why We Built This
Most people only deal with a car dealer once, so they have no way to judge whether the person at the door is legitimate. We built this site to explain how car wreckers and dismantlers really work and what a reputable one will tell you. It is general information, and rules differ by state and territory, so check with your local authority for specifics.
Part of the ScrapTrade Network
CarScrapDealer.com.au is part of the ScrapTrade network — an online scrap trading marketplace connecting verified buyers and sellers of scrap metal, e-waste, batteries, and more. Where this site focuses on checking a dealer, ScrapTrade is where verified buyers compete for your car, with transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
What We’re Not
We’re not a scrap buyer and we don’t handle transactions directly through this site — this is an information resource. For the actual buying and selling, head to ScrapTrade.
Choosing well starts with knowing who you are dealing with. ScrapTrade connects you with verified buyers, transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
