Why Labrador cars have usually been there a while
Labrador is one of the older parts of the northern Gold Coast, and its housing shows it: post-war cottages and brick-and-tile from the 1960s and 70s along the streets running back from Marine Parade, with unit blocks and newer infill closer to Brisbane Road and Harbour Town. It has stayed more affordable than the beachfront suburbs south of it, which means a lot of long-term owners rather than short-term renters.
That changes what turns up. Where a Surfers pickup is often a car someone owned for six months, a Labrador car has frequently been in the same driveway since it was new. It is complete, it has service history somewhere in a drawer, and it stopped being driven at a specific point — a licence surrendered, a move into care, a family member who died. Completeness is the single biggest factor in what a dismantler pays, so these cars are frequently worth more than their owners assume from the dust on them.
The other consequence is paperwork. A disproportionate share of our Labrador work is estate and downsizing vehicles, where the registered owner is not the person arranging the sale. That is entirely workable, but it needs the right documents in hand before a truck is booked rather than discovered at the kerb.

How selling your car works
Tell us about the car
Call us or fill in the form. We need the make, model, year, rough condition and where it's parked. That's enough for a firm number — usually in about a minute.
We confirm and book a time
If you're happy with the quote we lock in a pickup. We come to you: home, work, a carpark, the side of the road. Same day is often possible.
Paperwork, cash, gone
We check ID and registration, you sign the transfer, we pay you on the spot and tow the car away free. The price we quoted is the price you get.
