THE HONEST POSITION
Sydney storms write off thousands of cars a year. We buy them properly.
Sydney storms write off thousands of cars a year. Water in the cabin, hail dents across every panel. Flood damage is difficult to price without diagnostic capability. We assess flood and hail vehicles properly: our electrical and panel expertise means we know what can be saved and what it's worth. If your insurer paid you out and left you the car, or the storm caught you uninsured, get a quote before you accept scrap value.
Two straight facts to anchor your expectations. Flood-affected cars are usually statutory write-offs. In NSW a statutory write-off can generally only be used for parts or scrap; re-registration is possible only in limited circumstances with Transport for NSW authorisation. Hail-damaged cars are usually repairable write-offs. Cosmetic dents on a mechanically sound car, which often means surprisingly good money. We tell you which side of that line your car sits on before we quote it. Get our number on your storm-damaged car. It's free and there's no obligation.

NSW RULES · KNOW WHERE YOU STAND
- Flood-affected cars are usually statutory write-offs, which in NSW generally means parts or scrap only. Their value is parts and materials, and we pay it honestly.
- Hail-damaged cars are often repairable write-offs. Different rules, usually better money. How the written-off rules work →
- Insurance payout plus keeping the car is your right. Then sell it to us.
HOW WE ASSESS

Electrical & water damage
We assess what the water actually affected, nothing more.
Panels & dents
Hail dents beaten and sprayed in-house, so we price the car under the dimples.

Flood & hail questions, straight answers
Yes. Flood-affected cars are usually classed as statutory write-offs, which means they can generally only be used for parts or scrap in NSW, but they still carry genuine parts and materials value, and we pay it honestly. Be wary of anyone suggesting a flood car can simply go back on the road; re-registration is possible only in limited circumstances with Transport for NSW authorisation.
