How Vehicle Dismantling and Recycling Works
Once an end-of-life vehicle enters our operation, it is assessed for dismantling rather than being treated as one complete piece of waste.
Usable components can be recovered, automotive fluids and materials handled appropriately, and recyclable metals separated from what remains.
This is where car wrecking, automotive dismantling and vehicle recycling work together: recover what can still be used before the remaining recyclable material is processed.
When Is Wrecking a Vehicle Worth Considering?
- Major engine or gearbox failure
- Significant accident damage
- Repeated WoF failures
- Serious rust or age-related problems
- A work ute or van reaching the end of its usable life
- A vehicle sitting unused for a long period

We service vehicles throughout Tauranga, including Mount Maunganui, Pāpāmoa, Greerton, Tauriko, Welcome Bay, Bethlehem, Judea, Ōtūmoetai, Arataki and nearby areas.
Our licensed dismantling operation is based in Hamilton, with Tauranga forming part of the wider Bay of Plenty area we service. We regularly assess everything from older residential vehicles to damaged cars at workshops and end-of-life utes or vans used for work.
If the vehicle is difficult to access, unable to roll, badly damaged or stored at a workshop or worksite, tell us when requesting an assessment so collection can be planned accordingly.
