Getting your auction car home
Buying at auction is the easy part. Getting the car out of the yard can be harder, especially if it does not run, has no rego, or you work during collection hours. We collect auction cars across Perth and deliver them wherever you need.
Every car is loaded onto a tilt tray. It rides fully on the tray, so a car with a dead battery, flat tyres or a damaged front end can still be moved safely. There is no wear on the driveline and no kilometres added.
Auction houses we collect from
We regularly collect from Perth’s main auction yards, including Pickles in the Welshpool and Canning Vale area, Manheim and Grays. Whether you bought a repairable write-off, an ex-fleet sedan, a work ute or a project car, we can pick it up.
Let us know which auction house and which yard, as some run more than one site. We will plan the run around their collection times.
Collection windows and paperwork
Auction yards are strict about collections. They set collection windows, may charge storage after the deadline, and will not release a car without the right documents. To avoid delays:
- Book early. As soon as your purchase is confirmed and paid, call or text us with the details.
- Send us the release. Most yards issue a release or collection form, and the driver will need it along with the lot or stock number.
- Check the yard’s rules. Some yards need the buyer to authorise a third party to collect. Check your buyer’s documents and follow the auction house’s process.
- Confirm keys. Ask whether keys are with the car or held at the office.
If the yard holds the car up for any reason, we will let you know straight away.
Non-running and unregistered cars
Many auction cars cannot be driven home. They may be unregistered, have a fault or be listed as a statutory or repairable write-off. Unregistered vehicles cannot be driven on the road, so a tilt tray is the simplest way to move them.
Tell us what you know about the condition. Does it roll? Do the wheels turn and does the steering work? Is there accident damage at the front or rear? This helps the driver bring the right winch, skates or extra straps.
What to tell us when you book
- the auction house, yard location and lot or stock number
- the release form or collection paperwork
- make, model and known condition
- whether keys are with the car
- the delivery address and when someone will be there
Pricing
Auction collections are quoted on distance from the yard to your drop off, vehicle type and size, whether it runs and rolls, access at both ends and timing. You get a fixed upfront quote with no hidden fees and our best rates guarantee. Call or text with the details for your price.
