Sell your car, ute, van, or 4WD in Big Bay for top cash we come to you, tow for free, and pay on the spot. Any make, any condition, same day.
Big Bay is a small, scenic coastal community tucked around the point from Orua Bay on the northern tip of the Āwhitu Peninsula close to Grahams Beach and just across the Manukau Harbour from Auckland city. It's a holiday bach community popular with families and boaties, with a boat ramp and stunning harbour views. But when you've got an old, unwanted, or broken down vehicle sitting on your property out here, getting rid of it shouldn't mean a complicated drive into the city.
We operate regular runs out to the Āwhitu Peninsula and cover Big Bay, Grahams Beach, Orua Bay, Wattle Bay, and surrounding communities every week. We'll come directly to your Big Bay address whether it's a bach on Big Bay Road, a farm access track, or a holiday park and pay you cash on the spot for your vehicle, no matter its condition.
Big Bay sits on the northern Āwhitu Peninsula, accessed from Āwhitu Central Road via Tram Gully Road. Our team covers the entire top of the peninsula including Big Bay, Grahams Beach, Orua Bay, and Wattle Bay and we don't charge extra for the rural run. Free towing, all the way to your door.
