Cash for Cars Preston — Sell Your Car for a Fair Price Today
Preston is one of Melbourne's most established northern suburbs, and we service it and the surrounding area regularly. Whether you're in Preston, Preston East, or nearby Reservoir and Thornbury, Ezy Auto Wrecker will come to you with a fair cash offer and free removal.
Preston has a mix of long-term residents with older vehicles and newer residents who've upgraded and have a car to offload. We buy both ends of the spectrum — from a 1995 Magna that's been in the family for years to a 2015 SUV that's been in a collision.
We get a lot of calls from Preston customers who've had their car assessed by a mechanic and told the repair cost is more than the car is worth. That's a frustrating situation, but it's exactly what we're here for. We'll pay you a fair price for the car as-is.
Preston is close to our service area, which means we can often arrange same-day pickup. Call us in the morning and there's a good chance the car will be gone by the afternoon. We're familiar with the streets and parking situations in the inner north.
We cover Preston, Preston East, Reservoir, Thornbury, Northcote, and all surrounding northern suburbs. One call covers the whole area.

How Much Will You Get for Your Car in Preston?
The amount we pay depends on several factors: the make and model of your vehicle, its age and condition, the current scrap metal market price, and whether any parts are still in demand. We assess all of these when we give you a quote.
As a general guide, a running vehicle in reasonable condition will fetch significantly more than a non-running wreck. However, even a completely dead car with no engine, no wheels, and extensive rust still has value as scrap metal — we'll still pay you for it and remove it for free.
We don't play games with lowball offers. Our quotes are based on real market data, and we honour them when we arrive. If the car is exactly as described, the price doesn't change at pickup.
The best way to find out what your car is worth is to call us on 0449 060 697. We'll ask a few quick questions and give you a firm quote within minutes — no obligation, no pressure.

Our Service Commitment
Responsible Car Recycling in Preston
When you sell your car to Ezy Auto Wrecker, you're not just getting cash — you're also making an environmentally responsible choice. Old vehicles contain a range of hazardous materials including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, battery acid, and refrigerant gases. If these aren't handled correctly, they can cause serious environmental damage.
Our facility operates in full compliance with EPA Victoria regulations. We drain and safely dispose of all fluids before dismantling begins. Usable parts are removed and resold, extending their life and reducing the demand for new manufacturing. What remains is crushed and sent to a licensed metal recycler.
Steel is one of the most recycled materials on the planet, and your old car contributes to that cycle. Recycling steel uses approximately 75% less energy than producing new steel from raw ore. By selling your car to us rather than leaving it to rust in a paddock or driveway, you're actively reducing your environmental footprint.
We're proud to be a responsible operator in the auto recycling industry. Our processes are transparent, our facility is licensed, and we take our environmental obligations seriously. When you choose Ezy Auto Wrecker, you can be confident your vehicle is being handled the right way.
Our Environmental Credentials
- EPA Victoria compliant facility
- Licensed vehicle dismantler
- Safe fluid extraction & disposal
- Parts reuse before crushing
- Certified scrap metal recycling
- Battery recycling program
