Around Magill 5072
Magill sits about seven kilometres east of the Adelaide CBD, straddling the City of Burnside and the City of Campbelltown, with the Mount Lofty foothills rising behind it. Magill Road is the main east-west spine; St Bernards Road and Penfold Road meet it at the busy Magill Village intersection where local shops and services cluster. UniSA Magill Campus sits on St Bernards Road, Penfolds Magill Estate is a short hop away, and Magill Primary School fronts Magill Road. Norwood International High School is on The Parade at the southern edge.
The suburb began as the Makgill Estate in 1838 and was renamed Magill in the late 1940s. Today the streets mix older cottages, brick homes and newer townhouses, with Third Creek running through parts of the suburb. Student and shopper traffic keep Magill Road and St Bernards Road busy in peak hour, so a side-street pickup often works best.
The 2021 Census counted 9,693 residents and an average of 1.7 motor vehicles per dwelling across about 3,850 occupied homes. One-car and two-car households make up most of that picture, so when a newer car arrives the older one often sits parked for months.
We don't have pages yet for neighbouring suburbs such as Hectorville, Rostrevor or Tranmere, and every one of them gets the same service. These pages explain how we work:

- Semaphore, our home base in the western suburbs
- Greenacres, another eastern/north-eastern suburb page

Pickup notes for Magill
A few quick details help Dan line the truck up:
- On or just off Magill Road, St Bernards Road or Penfold Road? Give us the nearest side street so we can load clear of the traffic.
- Near UniSA Magill Campus or Magill Village? Tell us about parking, visitor bays or a gate code before the day.
- Car tucked in a carport or behind the house toward the foothills? A photo of the way out lets us plan the angle.
- Renting the house? That's fine. What matters is that the car is yours to sell.
- No keys, flat tyres or a dead battery? The winch pulls it onto the tray anyway.
- Two cars to go? Mention both and we'll price them together.

Payment and the MR96
Choose how you're paid: cash in your hand or an instant PayID bank transfer. The money is sorted before the car leaves your street, and because the tow is free, nothing is taken off the price for collection.
Dan also brings the MR96 notice of disposal, the form that tells the registrar you no longer own the car. He'll fill it in with you on the spot, so the paperwork is done by the time the tray pulls away.
Magill FAQs
Do you really come out to Magill from Semaphore?
Yes. We cover the eastern foothills as well as the western suburbs, and every address in 5072 gets the same free tilt-tray collection.
My car didn't sell online. Will you take it?
Yes. Cars that sat on the marketplace for weeks, failed a roadworthy or need more repairs than they're worth are exactly what we buy. Send photos and we'll price it as it is.
Does the car need to be registered?
No. Registered, unregistered or long expired makes no difference to whether we collect it. If it's still registered, the MR96 we complete together tells the registrar it's no longer yours.
How fast can I get a price?
Text photos to 0499 291 717 or fill in the online quote form, and we'll reply with a figure between $200 and $2,000.
When do you collect?
Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm. Text ahead with a day that suits you and we'll confirm a time.
