Wellington Car Wrecking & Auto Dismantling Services
Our car wreckers in Wellington provide a complete end-of-life vehicle service. We assess every vehicle based on its recyclable metal content, salvageable parts, and current market rates — then give you a fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. This applies to all vehicle types including sedans, hatchbacks, utes, vans, 4WDs, and light trucks.
Once you accept, we arrange free scrap car removal at a time that works for you. Our removal crew handles non-runners, accident-damaged vehicles, and tricky access situations right across the Wellington region. Every vehicle is transported to our Trentham yard for professional processing.
At our facility, each vehicle undergoes full depollution — oils, fuels, coolants, and hazardous materials are safely removed before the vehicle is stripped for reusable parts and scrap metal. Our process meets all New Zealand environmental standards, so you know your old car is being recycled the right way.

We assess every vehicle on make, model, age, weight, and scrap metal value. You get an honest valuation based on current market rates — not a lowball offer. Our car wreckers in Wellington price fairly so you walk away satisfied.
