Great service from start to finish. I spoke to Julian on the phone who was honest and really easy to communicate with. I then got to deal with Graeme who was just as professional and made the deal easy. Also got paid within minutes so very happy overall

Among all the car removal companies I’ve came across to get rid of my car which was in an accident “Old car Removed” was the only place where I was not spoken to in a rush. Julienne heard my situation and responded with patience, kindness and dealt with it very fast. The truck driver who came to pick up my car driving 2.5 hours to pick up my car was also very professional and respectful. Highly recommended.

We recently used "Old Cars Removed" to dispose of our older unwanted car, and the experience was outstanding! Julian, the Manager, was professional and easy to deal with, making the whole process straightforward. Graham, who came to pick up the car, was punctual, polite, and efficient. We were paid a fair and reasonable amount for our car, and the entire service exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a hassle-free way to get rid of an old car, we highly recommend "Old Cars Removed". Thank you Julian and Graham for the excellent service!

I finally said goodbye to my first car. I was not sure how to go about it but I called up Old Cars Removed by the next day they came and picked my car up.I had amazing service both on the phone and in person. Even though my car wasn’t worth much they met me in the middle with my price and paid me instantly. I would highly recommend their services.

Highly recommended. I spoke to Julian on the phone about selling my old car. He organised an inspection and pick up the next morning. Although the price is less than my asking price but I’m very happy with the smooth process. Both, Julian and the truck driver were very friendly and very lovely. Thank you kindly 🙏

Highly recommended service. Spoke to Julian about scrapping a car the day before. He managed to organize a pick up next day early in the morning with very decent price. Paperworks and everything went smoothly. Very trustworthy!

Charles and Julian were great! Julian was easy to speak to on the phone and was able to get my car picked up first thing the next morning. Charles was SO helpful and was happy to explain everything to me in regarding the cost of my car. 10/10 service. Definitely recommend.

A quick, efficient and friendly service. I was paid immediately & had a really lovely convo with the gentleman who picked my car up (I’m a bit hopeless with names and have forgotten his but if you see this I’m very grateful!)

"Honeaty is the best policy" - Thats what chales said to me as we talked about my car. "If youre honest with them, customers will return."He isn't wrong - Charles gave me a great price on my old Mazda 6 sedan.He came to my apartment, took a quick look over and gave me the rundown on what needed work and what was in good repair while telling stories and keeping me entertained the entire time. Best of all, he knew his stuff - you could tell that Charles had been doing it for years and knew his way around cars like he knew the back of his hand. Gave me a fair price at the end of it all before strapping the car in, paying me there and then and heading off.They're good honest people, definitely worth it.

Excellent customer service from Julian, who tried to understand his customer’s need and help, unlike most other car disposal companies who are only interested to slash your price to the lowest. His offer was the best and more importantly, again unlike most others, he kept his words and paid us exactly what he quoted. Thank you Julian!

This is a very low key service. It was a bit tricky getting a cheque when you see our old car on the back of the truck. But all was good, I banked the cheque about a month later and all was good.

Great customer service. Got our massive Holden Rodeo out of an underground secure carpark. The guys who picked it up were lovely and worked quickly. You guys helped us out of a stressful situation and we'd recommend you to anyone needing their old car removed.

Best Car Removal Service in Melbourne!! They paid what they actually quoted - no renegotiating on price when they arrived to collect the car. My old 99 Ford Falcon was gone in 2 hours for the best price. And must say the Tow Truck Driver was the best I've ever seen. I highly recommend this mob. Honest, friendly and reliable.
