What Affects Your Cars Value

The price we offer depends on your vehicle, not a fixed price list. Every car is checked individually to give you a fair cash offer.

Make and Model

Some makes and models have higher demand for used parts, which can increase their value.

Vehicle Condition

A complete vehicle with more usable parts is often worth more than a badly damaged one.

Vehicle Age

Newer vehicles usually have parts in higher demand. Older vehicles are mainly valued for recyclable materials.

Demand for Used Parts

Engines, gearboxes, doors, wheels and other good condition parts can increase your vehicle value.

Vehicle Location

A vehicle that is easy to access can be collected more quickly, making the process faster.

Recycling Value

After usable parts are removed, the remaining metal is recycled and considered in your quote.

What Happens to Your Car After Collection

Once we collect your vehicle it is carefully dismantled. We do not simply crush every car.

Vehicle Inspection

Our team checks your vehicle to find parts that are still in good working condition.

Used Parts Are Removed

Good quality parts are removed and prepared for resale, including:

  • Engines and gearboxes
  • Alternators and starters
  • Doors, bonnets and bumpers
  • Headlights, wheels and mirrors

Safe Removal of Fluids and Batteries

Engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, batteries and other materials are removed safely before recycling begins.

Metal Recycling

After all reusable parts are removed, the remaining metal is sent for recycling, reducing waste across New Zealand.
