The Strand has been Tauranga's civic and social waterfront since the city's earliest days, and today it carries that history alongside a busy modern mix of cafes, bars, offices and apartment living. Parking around the CBD has always been at a premium, and as more people move into the Strand's apartment developments, an old car sitting unused in a resident carpark or a rented space becomes an expensive, awkward thing to hold onto.
Cash For Cars Tauranga was built to solve exactly that problem for central Tauranga residents and businesses. Instead of trying to arrange a private buyer to navigate one-way streets and paid parking, you get a single phone call, a fair cash number, and a pickup team that knows how to work around loading zones, building access codes and tight inner-city spaces.
We also regularly collect from Strand-area businesses clearing an old work vehicle, and from executors handling a deceased estate vehicle that's been sitting in a CBD garage. Whatever the situation, the process stays the same: a fair quote, free towing, and cash paid on the day.
