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.
