Car Wreckers for Footscray and the Inner West

Footscray 3011

Wreck Removal on the Maribyrnong River Side of the City

Footscray is the administrative centre of the City of Maribyrnong, about five kilometres west of the CBD, and it has long been a working suburb built around the river, the railway and nearby industry. Housing ranges from weatherboard cottages and older brick homes to new apartment buildings near the station, so pickups can be from a front driveway, a backyard or an apartment car park.

Barkly Street, Hopkins Street and the area around Footscray Market are busy, and parts of the suburb have restricted parking, so it helps to give us the exact address and where the car sits on the property. Vehicles in backyards often need to come down a side path or through a back gate, which affects which truck can be used. The West Gate Freeway and Geelong Road connect the area to the rest of Melbourne for transport.

The inner west has many owners running older family cars and utes, and when repair quotes climb higher than the vehicle's value, selling it for parts and scrap can make more sense. Payment for a scrap vehicle is made by electronic transfer, not cash, and your ID is recorded at the sale. Ask about cash for scrap cars to find out how it works. Seddon, Yarraville and West Footscray are covered as well.

If the vehicle is parked on the street and has been unregistered for some time, check for any notices from Maribyrnong City Council, as abandoned vehicles can be towed by council after a warning period. Arranging the removal yourself means you stay in control of what happens to the car and avoid council towing and storage charges.
