Step 1: Pickup and Payment
Once you accept our offer, our team arrives at your location — whether you’re in Miramar, Newtown, or Porirua. We complete paperwork, pay you cash, and tow the vehicle away for free.
Step 2: Fluid Drainage and Hazardous Waste Removal
At our Wellington wrecking yard, the car is safely drained of all fluids:
-
Engine and brake oil
-
Transmission fluid
-
Coolant
-
Fuel and AC gas
These are either recycled or disposed of following New Zealand environmental standards.
Step 3: Dismantling and Salvage
Next, we strip usable components:
-
Engine and gearbox
-
Tyres, wheels, suspension
-
Battery and electrical parts
-
Doors, mirrors, lights, seats
These parts are refurbished and resold locally or online, helping other car owners in Wellington find affordable parts.
Step 4: Metal and Material Recycling
Once the salvageable parts are removed, the vehicle body is crushed. Materials like:
-
Steel
-
Aluminium
-
Copper
-
Glass and rubber
…are separated and sent to recycling facilities across New Zealand.
Step 5: Landfill Diversion
Our goal is to keep as much material out of the landfill as possible. On average, 85-90% of each vehicle is repurposed or recycled.
