If your car's been in an accident and you're wondering what it's actually worth, Cash For Cars Perth can give you a straight answer — and cash for accident cars Perth-wide, same day. We buy damaged cars, write-offs, non-runners, and vehicles that insurance has totalled, and we pay you before we leave your property. There's no waiting on quotes to come through, no towing bills, and no pressure. Call us, tell us about the car, get an offer. If it works for you, we'll come to you. For a quick public reference, see our cash for accident cars service page.
Most customers get between $200 and $10,000 depending on the make, model, and condition of the car. We buy everything from smashed-up Corollas and bent Rangers to flood-damaged Camrys and front-end write-offs. The quote we give you on the phone is what you get paid — no adjustments when we arrive. Payment goes through OSKO so it hits your account straight away, or we can pay cash if you prefer.
When a car's been in an accident, time starts costing money. Rego lapses. Storage adds up. Some Perth councils — particularly in higher-density suburbs like Belmont and Cannington — will issue notices for unregistered vehicles sitting on verges or nature strips. Selling for cash puts money in your account the same day and gets the car off your hands before it becomes a bigger headache.
A panel shop quote on a hard-hit Hilux or Commodore can easily run past the car's market value. When that happens, carrying out the repairs rarely makes financial sense. Selling the damaged car as-is means you walk away with real money instead of throwing good money after bad on a vehicle that may never drive quite right again.
Selling a damaged car privately involves advertising it, fielding lowball offers, and dealing with buyers who inspect it three times and still pull out. Accident car removal skips all of that. We handle the whole transaction — the quote, the paperwork, the tow truck, and the payment. You don't need to visit anyone or sign anything complicated.
When we remove your car, we handle the WA vehicle disposal paperwork correctly. The rego transfer is notified to the Department of Transport so you're no longer liable for the vehicle. Usable parts get recycled, fluids are disposed of to WA environmental standards, and the scrap metal goes through licensed processing. It's done right, not just done quickly.
We don't just buy lightly damaged cars with cosmetic issues. We buy vehicles in any state — front-end write-offs, rollovers, flood-damaged, fire-affected, non-starting, frame-bent. If it's on your property and you want it gone, call us. We've bought smashed-up Mazda CX-5s in Morley, hail-damaged Landcruisers in Midland, and rear-ended Camrys from Fremantle to Joondalup.
Many accident cars in Perth end up unregistered, sitting in a driveway or on a verge. That's not a problem for us. We accept cars with or without current rego, and we bring our own tow truck so there's no need for the vehicle to be driveable. If it's been off the road for months or years, we'll still make you an offer.
We regularly buy Toyotas, Fords, Holdens, Nissans, Mazdas, Mitsubishis, Hyundais, Kias, and everything in between. That includes utes, SUVs, sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons. If it's a car that drives Perth roads, we'll buy it damaged — regardless of age or kilometres.
We pick up from everywhere across the metro area — the northern suburbs from Joondalup to Wanneroo, the southern corridor through Rockingham and Mandurah, the eastern suburbs out to Midland and Armadale, and all inner-city and coastal suburbs in between. One call books the collection.

It takes about five minutes to get a quote. Call us on 0420 262 651, tell us the make, model, year, and a rough description of the damage, and we'll give you a figure on the spot. There's no obligation to accept it.
If you're happy with the offer, we book a pickup time that suits you — often same day, sometimes within the hour depending on where you are in Perth and what time you call. Our driver comes to your home, workplace, or wherever the car is sitting. We check the car matches what you described, hand over the agreed amount via OSKO or cash, and load it onto the truck. The whole thing usually takes under 30 minutes once we arrive. We follow the same process for undrivable cars that can't be started or driven.
A few things that help us give you the best offer upfront:
Be specific about the damage: "Front-end collision, airbags deployed, bonnet crumpled" gives us much more to work with than "it's been in an accident." The more detail you give, the more accurate the quote.
Have the rego plate or VIN ready: It speeds up the process and lets us look up the vehicle's history to confirm the model and spec.
Don't rush into the first offer you get: Call around if you want. We're confident in our prices, but there's no harm in comparing. Just make sure you're comparing like-for-like — some services quote high and then deduct a "towing fee" at pickup. We don't do that.
Check the buyer is licensed in WA: A legitimate car buyer will handle the Department of Transport notification. If a buyer isn't willing to sort the disposal paperwork, that's a red flag.
Same-day pickup is available most days. If you call before midday, there's a good chance we can be there that afternoon. For bookings made later in the day, we'll lock in a time for the following morning. We cover all Perth suburbs, so distance is rarely an issue.
No. A lot of accident cars have let their rego lapse, and that doesn't affect our offer. We'll still come and collect it. Once we take the car, we handle the WA disposal notification so you're not left liable for an unregistered vehicle sitting in someone else's hands.
You'll need proof of ownership — typically the rego papers or transfer documents showing you're the registered owner. If the rego has lapsed, the last renewal notice usually does the job. We take care of notifying the Department of Transport once the vehicle changes hands, so you don't have to chase that up yourself.
Not if the car matches what you described. The price we quote over the phone is what we pay when we arrive. If the damage turns out to be significantly different from what was described — for example, there's frame damage that wasn't mentioned — we'd talk that through with you before anything is agreed. We won't spring a lower price on you at the last minute.
Both. Most customers prefer OSKO because it lands in their bank account within seconds. If you'd rather cash in hand, that's fine too. We bring payment with us on the day — you don't need to chase an invoice or wait for a bank transfer to clear overnight.
No. We bring our own tow truck to every collection, so whether the car starts or not doesn't matter. We've collected non-runners from tight driveways in Fremantle and cars buried behind other vehicles in Balcatta. If we can physically get to it, we can take it.
Accident cars are just one of many vehicle types we purchase. We also pay cash for broken cars where repairs are not economical, damaged vehicles of any kind, and wrecked cars after serious collisions. If your insurer has written the car off, you can still get cash for a totaled vehicle.
We also buy junk cars and scrap vehicles, clunkers that have seen better days, undrivable cars that will not move under their own power, unwanted vehicles cluttering your property, old cars regardless of age, and scrap cars for recycling.
Have a vehicle that is in reasonable shape? We also buy used cars across Perth and offer fair rates for second-hand vehicles you are ready to move on from.
For larger vehicles, we offer cash for trucks and heavy vehicles, cash for damaged or old utes, cash for vans you no longer need, cash for buses and coaches, and cash for 4x4s and 4WDs of all models.
