What Do Car Wreckers Do?

Car Wreckers help people remove old, damaged, scrap and non-running vehicles across Otago. Instead of leaving an unwanted vehicle sitting unused, it is collected, dismantled and recycled responsibly at our licensed yard.

  • Vehicle is collected and brought to our licensed dismantling yard
  • Quality parts such as engines, gearboxes, radiators and suspension are removed and checked
  • Tested parts are prepared for resale as quality used auto parts
  • Remaining materials are recycled to reduce waste and recover valuable metals
  • NZTA compliance and environmentally responsible practices throughout

Whether you need scrap vehicle removal, non-running vehicle removal or quality used auto parts in Otago, our team makes the process simple and reliable.
