Step 1: Free Pickup & Transport
After you accept our quote, we dispatch a tow truck to pick up your car at no charge. Our driver verifies ownership and payment is made on the spot. From there, the vehicle is taken to our licensed wrecking yard.
Step 2: Safety & Fluid Removal
Before any dismantling begins, we carefully drain all hazardous fluids:
-
Petrol or diesel
-
Engine oil
-
Brake fluid
-
Coolant
-
Air conditioning refrigerant
These are disposed of or recycled per environmental laws in NZ.
Step 3: Dismantling for Usable Parts
Next, our team removes reusable components such as:
-
Engines and gearboxes
-
Batteries and alternators
-
Wheels and tyres
-
Panels, lights, and mirrors
These parts are cleaned, tested, and sold to car owners, mechanics, and secondhand dealers across Auckland.
Step 4: Shell Crushing & Metal Shredding
Once the car is stripped of parts, the remaining body is crushed and fed into an industrial shredder. Metals like steel, copper, and aluminium are sorted and sent to recycling plants for reuse in manufacturing.
Step 5: Recycling Glass, Rubber & Plastics
Tyres are often turned into road base or soft-fall surfaces. Glass is melted down for reuse in insulation or construction, while plastics are recycled or safely disposed of.
Step 6: Over 90% Recycling Rate
We’re proud to achieve a recycling rate of over 90% for every vehicle — keeping thousands of tonnes of waste out of Auckland landfills each year.
