Cash for unwanted vehicles across Scone, Aberdeen and Murrurundi. Free towing on most jobs, quotes over the phone.
We are a wrecking yard at Mount Thorley, a bit over an hour south of Scone, and we run up the New England regularly. If you have a vehicle on a property up here that is never going to move again under its own power, we will buy it.
Being an hour away changes how this works, and it is worth being upfront about that rather than pretending otherwise.
We do not send a truck to Scone for one small car at short notice. What we do is run the New England on a schedule and pick up everything booked in along the way, through Aberdeen, Scone, Wingen, Blandford and up to Murrurundi.
In practice that means you get a firm figure on the phone the same day you ring, and a pickup window rather than a same-day tow. Usually within the week, sooner when a few jobs land around the same time.
If you need something gone today, a local operator will beat us and we would rather say so.
A good share of what we collect around Scone comes off a working property rather than a driveway. Studs, grazing country, ag contractors and the businesses that service them all run vehicles until there is nothing left in them.
That means the person ringing us is often a manager rather than an owner, clearing out something that has been in the way for two seasons. We can quote off a list, invoice properly, and work around what else is happening on the place.
If you are not the registered owner but you are authorised to sell it, tell us that on the first call and we will sort out what is needed.
This is the part worth knowing about Scone. Because it is an hour from anywhere with a yard, dead vehicles tend to accumulate. Nobody comes for one, so it sits, and then there are two, and eventually there are four behind the machinery shed.
Four in one spot is a far better job for us than one, and it usually gets you a better result. One trip, one lot of travel, and we can be more generous on the individual figures because the run pays for itself.
So if you have been putting it off because it did not seem worth a phone call for one car, wait until there are a few and then ring. Or ring now and tell us what else is out there.
Make, model, year and rough condition. A list if there is more than one.
The vehicles, and the track in.
Usually within the hour, and it covers the lot if there are several.
With a window, not a maybe.
Most of what we pick up around Scone is not sitting on concrete. It is in a paddock, behind a shed, or down a track that has not been graded in a while.
That is normal work for us. We winch vehicles out of long grass, off blocks and out of soft ground most weeks. What helps is knowing beforehand, so tell us how far in it is and whether the track holds up after rain.
On most jobs the tow is included and the quote you hear is the cash you get. On a small, low-value car at this distance the travel can affect the number, and we will tell you that on the phone rather than on the day.
A vehicle with usable parts is worth more to us than to a yard that only scraps, which is what makes the drive work.
Give us a list and the numbers get better.
A window, not a promise we cannot keep from an hour away.
Winching, soft ground and farm tracks are not a reason to say no.
Fluids drained, batteries and tyres handled properly, steel and parts recovered rather than landfilled.
Yes. Scone is a bit over an hour from our Mount Thorley yard, straight up the New England. We run it regularly rather than on demand, so a Scone job is booked into the next trip rather than done that afternoon.
Usually within the week, and sooner when a few jobs come in around the same time. We will give you a window when you accept the quote rather than leaving it open-ended.
It is the opposite of a problem. Several vehicles at one address is the job we most want at this distance, because one trip does the lot. Ring us with a list and we will quote all of them together.
Usually. Tell us on the phone what the track is like, how far in the vehicle sits, and whether it holds up after rain. We would rather send the right truck than have a driver turn around at your gate.
Yes. Farm utes, station hacks, old work vehicles and light trucks that have come off a property fleet. We can invoice properly and take several at once if you are clearing out.
Yes, on most jobs. Scone is at the far end of our run, so on a small low-value car the distance can affect the number. We tell you which applies before you agree to anything.
Photo ID and proof you own it. If it is still registered, bring the rego papers. After the sale you lodge a Notice of Disposal with Transport for NSW so the vehicle is no longer in your name.
Yes, along with Blandford, Wingen, Parkville, Gundy and the properties out towards Moonan Flat and Ellerston. If you are north of Muswellbrook on the New England, you are on our route.
Same-day pickup across the Hunter Valley. Free towing, cash on the spot.
