Confirm & Book Pickup
We confirm the details and schedule a same-day collection time that fits your schedule. No long wait lists.

What Happens on Collection Day
Here’s exactly what happens from the moment your driver is on the way to your McCrae property.
Driver Calls Ahead
You receive a call when the driver is on the way. Use that time to open any gates, move obstacles, or simply be at the property to meet them.
Vehicle Is Quickly Inspected
The driver does a brief check to confirm the vehicle's make, model, and condition match the details you provided at booking. This takes a couple of minutes.
Paperwork Completed On-Site
Ownership transfer documentation is handled on the spot. You'll need your photo ID. Registration papers are useful but not always required - we'll advise if you're unsure.
Vehicle Loaded Safely
The tow truck is positioned and the vehicle secured. Our drivers handle tight driveways, sloped blocks, carports, and other access challenges that are common across McCrae properties.
Property Left Clean and Clear
We ensure no fluid spills or debris remain. Your space is free, you have a copy of the transfer paperwork, and your liability for the vehicle ends the moment we drive away.
⏱ Approx. 20–30 Minutes On-Site
Fast, Professional, and Low-Disruption
Most free car removal jobs in McCrae take around 20 to 30 minutes from arrival to departure. Our drivers are experienced, arrive fully equipped, and work efficiently to minimise any disruption to your day.
You don’t need the car running, driveable, or in an easy position. Let us know the access situation when you book and we’ll come prepared for whatever we find.
- ✅ Have your photo ID ready on the day
- ✅ Remove personal belongings from the vehicle beforehand
- ✅ Remove number plates if advised (varies by situation)
- ✅ Clear a path for the tow truck if possible

| Ongoing vehicle liability | ✓ Ends on collection day | ✗ You remain responsible after the tow |
| Compliant vehicle disposal | ✓ We arrange everything | ✗ You must arrange this separately |
| Non-running vehicles | ✓ Specialise in immobile vehicle pickup | ~ Varies by operator |
| Same-day service | ✓ Available in most McCrae bookings | ~ Subject to availability |
| Purpose-built for unwanted vehicles | ✓ Exactly what this service is for | ✗ Designed for temporary moves, not disposal |

Let us know the situation when you book so we bring the right equipment and approach for your property.
Can you collect from a tight driveway or underground car park?
