Vehicles We Buy for Wrecking
Not all wreckers take all vehicles.
We do!
We buy almost every type of vehicle in the NZ market – Japanese, European, commercial, private, petrol, diesel, hybrid, running or absolutely not running.
Whether you’ve got a Toyota Corolla, a Hilux, a Transit van, a Prado, a tired work truck, a rusty old SUV, or even a vehicle that hasn’t moved in years, chances are we’ll buy it for wrecking.
If it sits on wheels (or used to), tell us about it.
Even if it’s sitting flat, we can usually still recover it.
Damage, No WOF, No REGO, Completely Dead
This service is built for the vehicles people can’t sell privately.
We regularly buy vehicles that are:
- written-off from an accident
- mechanically dead (engine seized, won’t start, overheated, blown gearbox)
- failed WOF or too costly to repair
- rusted, incomplete, parted-out or stripped
- deregistered or sitting un-driven for years
- storm-damaged, flooded, hail-dented
- farm paddock vehicles that never made it back to the road
Your vehicle doesn’t have to be pretty, complete or working.
It doesn’t even need keys, we’ve handled it all.

Eco-Friendly Wrecking & Part Recycling
When we wreck a vehicle, we don’t just crush it and move on.
Usable parts get professionally salvaged and resold, fluids and materials are disposed of safely, and the rest is recycled for metal.
This keeps unwanted vehicles out of paddocks and reduces unnecessary waste.
If you’re someone who likes the idea of your old vehicle being put to use instead of rotting away, this part matters.
