Wrecking, Dismantling & Recycling
We’re car wreckers and licensed auto dismantlers servicing Rotorua. We buy damaged, non-running, written-off and end-of-life vehicles for wrecking, dismantling and recycling.
Tell us what vehicle you have, what condition it is in and where it is located. We’ll assess whether it is suitable for our wrecking operation and explain the next step.
What Our Rotorua Car Wreckers Do
Our job as vehicle wreckers is to recover what still has useful value before an end-of-life vehicle reaches its final recycling stage.
That can mean identifying reusable components, separating automotive materials and recovering recyclable metals rather than treating the complete vehicle as waste.

How Vehicle Dismantling and Recycling Works
Automotive dismantling happens before the remaining vehicle is processed for recycling.
Usable components can be separated first, while fluids and other automotive materials need to be handled appropriately. Recyclable metals can then be recovered from what remains.
This staged process allows useful material from an end-of-life vehicle to be recovered instead of unnecessarily treating the entire vehicle as scrap.
When Is Wrecking a Vehicle Worth Considering?
- A major engine or transmission failure
- Extensive accident damage
- Repeated WoF problems
- Serious rust or age-related deterioration
- An older 4WD or ute requiring major repairs
- A vehicle that has been sitting unused
- A work vehicle that has reached the end of its practical life
