Step 1: Free Pickup and Instant Payment

After accepting our quote, we send a tow truck to your location in Dunedin. You receive cash on the spot, and we handle the paperwork and towing — free of charge.


Step 2: Hazardous Fluid Removal

Back at our Dunedin wrecking yard, we start by draining:

  • Engine oil

  • Brake and transmission fluid

  • Coolant

  • Fuel

  • Refrigerant gas

These are safely disposed of or recycled to comply with NZ environmental standards.


Step 3: Salvaging Reusable Parts

Many vehicles still have valuable, functioning components. We carefully extract parts such as:

  • Engines and transmissions

  • Radiators, alternators, and batteries

  • Headlights, mirrors, and doors

  • Tyres and rims

These are cleaned, tested, and sold at affordable prices to mechanics and car owners across Otago.


Step 4: Metal Recycling

Once dismantling is complete, we crush the remaining shell. Steel, copper, and aluminium are separated and sent to metal recycling plants — contributing to NZ’s circular economy.


Step 5: Waste Minimisation

We aim to recycle at least 90% of every car. Glass, plastic, and rubber are repurposed where possible. Remaining waste is safely disposed of with minimal environmental impact.
