From the first message to the moment the truck pulls away, this is what is covered.
If it has wheels and you no longer want it, it is worth asking about.

There is no fixed price for an unwanted vehicle. Seven things decide the number, and we are happy to talk any of them through. Recovered parts go into our used car parts, used tyres and used batteries stock.
These decide how much demand there is for the parts on your vehicle.
Damage, faults and missing parts change the amount we can offer.
Engines, gearboxes, doors and lights that still work add real value.
The shell still has scrap value once usable parts are recovered.
Where the vehicle sits affects how the pickup has to be arranged.
Even a non running car often holds parts worth recovering.
The more accurate your description, the more accurate the quote.
The admin side is short, but it matters. Getting it right means you are not still liable for a vehicle you no longer own.
Tell us the rego status when you ask for a quote and our team will talk you through exactly which details and forms apply to your vehicle.
Car Wreckers Otago helps vehicle owners across the region sell old, damaged, scrap and non running cars. We provide clear valuations, arrange convenient collection and make the selling process easier from the first call to final pickup.
Once a vehicle reaches our facility, suitable components are removed for reuse, while metals, tyres, batteries and other materials are sorted for recycling. This approach helps you clear an unwanted vehicle while giving useful parts and recyclable materials a second purpose. You can read more about our auto recycling process if you want the detail.
Five things we hold to on every vehicle we buy, whatever condition it is in.
We pay the agreed figure when your car matches the details you gave us.
Nothing is deducted for pickup inside our free collection area.
You receive payment before your car leaves your property.
We help with the required paperwork during the sale and the pickup.
Metals, tyres, batteries and fluids are sorted for proper recycling.
