Want to sell a complete car through an auction but need it taken to the yard? WE TOW ANYTHING can assess and quote transport from your Melbourne pickup address to an auction facility that has agreed to receive the vehicle. The car’s condition, the pickup access and the auction’s delivery instructions all need to be confirmed before the tow is booked.
The tow moves your car to the agreed destination. The auction sale has its own written terms, which may cover commission, preparation, reserve prices, what happens if the car does not sell and when you receive payment. Read those terms and compare the total cost before committing the car to auction.
Send the car details and pickup suburb. Have the auction’s acceptance and delivery instructions ready when we contact you.
An auction yard needs to know what vehicle is coming and when. Contact the auction provider to confirm that it will accept your car, whether an appointment is needed, its receiving address, opening hours and what must accompany the vehicle. Ask about keys, registration or ownership documents, vehicle condition reports and any restrictions on non-running cars. A public auction catalogue or buyer-collection address does not itself give a seller permission to deliver a car.
If you are considering Grays, it lists a Victorian automotive yard at Dandenong South. Get the current seller intake instructions for your own vehicle directly from Grays before asking us to tow it there. The same principle applies to another Melbourne auction provider.
Tell us if the car is lowered, damaged, unable to start, has locked steering or does not roll. A complete vehicle can still need special loading, and the auction yard must also agree to receive it in that condition.
Choose the auction provider and obtain its written acceptance, seller agreement, destination and delivery time.
Provide the year, make, model, kilometres, registration, pickup address, vehicle condition and any access issue.
We will quote the tow. Separately, ask the auction provider for all seller charges, any optional preparation costs, a possible PPSR or finance check, storage or unsold-vehicle terms and the payment process.
Agree on a truck and pickup time that fit the yard’s intake window. Identify the person handing over keys and any required authorisation.
Our towing price depends on distance, vehicle size and condition, loading difficulty, access and timing. Auction charges are set by the party responsible for the sale. A higher bid does not necessarily mean a higher amount in your bank account once all agreed costs are deducted.
The two routes solve different problems. A cash offer gives you a specific amount to consider before you agree to sell an eligible car. An auction exposes the car to bidders, but the final result and timing depend on the auction terms and buyer interest. Ask what you would receive after towing, commission and any other charges. If you are weighing both routes for a complete car, you can also request a cash offer.
WE TOW ANYTHING operates across Greater Melbourne and regional Victoria. Whether you’re on the M1 in the CBD, the Monash Freeway near Dandenong, or a construction site in Pakenham, we’ll reach you.
Once Grays confirms it will accept your car and provides its seller delivery instructions, send us the pickup and destination details for a transport quote. We do not treat a tow enquiry as an auction booking.
The car must be lawfully released with keys and the required documents. Tell us who will meet the driver or what authorised handover the pickup site allows.
Ask the auction provider whether it accepts the car in that condition. Tell us whether it rolls, steers and has keys so we can assess the transport.
No. Review the towing quote alongside the auction provider’s written fee schedule, including any charge that may apply if the vehicle does not sell.
No transport booking can establish the auction result. Ask the provider how it assesses the car, whether a reserve is possible and what happens if bidding falls short.
The auction agreement should say whether another sale can be arranged, whether a fee or storage applies and who must collect the vehicle. Read that section before paying to tow your car to the yard.
The responsible seller agreement should explain who collects the buyer’s payment, what deductions apply and when any proceeds are transferred. Confirm those terms before delivery; the tow booking does not set them.
No. Payment details are not needed for a towing quote. If they are required under a separate sale agreement, the party responsible for payment should request them later through a secure process.
This page is for taking a seller’s car to an auction. For a vehicle you have purchased, request car transport and provide the yard’s release authority, lot details, pickup window and delivery address.
Once the auction has accepted your car, send the form or call 0447 119 564 with the pickup address, receiving instructions and vehicle condition. We will confirm whether the transport can be arranged and what it will cost.
