  I bought an e-salvage car for the first time from Milperra. No massive problems, but there are things I wish I was aware of before choosing to buy one and pick it up. I hope these tips help someone. If you're used to dealing with wreckers and companies selling written off cars, I doubt any of this will come as a shock to you.
  
  - Their pickup hours end at 4:30pm. It'd be nice if that were on the website (if it is, it isn't obvious). If it weren't for the single nice guy in the gatehouse getting one of the forklift drivers just before he went home, I would have wasted a trip from Newcastle and 6 hours worth of trailer hire. He's the only reason this review is 3 stars and not 2. Everyone else there told me a flat out 'No, you have to come back another day'.
  
  - The employees don't suffer fools or people who are unsure of what they're doing (ie, first-timers). They are there to get rid of cars, not help you. Read up as much as you can before purchasing, DO NOT go unprepared.
  
  - If you're travelling from any great distance, ensure that you call them before driving down to pick up the car. Make sure everything is sorted (ie, they received the payment) and check if there's any paper work you need to bring.
  
  - The gatehouse (to pick up a e-salvage car) is not in the google maps location. You have to travel further down the road and turn right at Bunnings to go down Nancy Ellis Leebold drive and around the back of the place.
  
  - Expect damage to the underside of the car, sump, exhaust piping and the insides of the wheels. They carry the cars around on forklifts and generally aren't too careful.
  
  - If a car has any smashed windows, expect the interior to be full of water. The cars are generally stored outside.
  
  Overall, I'd deal with them again, but I'd go into it with a different set of expectations. The car itself was an absolute bargain for what it was and Pickles is a far better value option compared to buying parts from wreckers.
