Car Wreckers Turangi, Wrecking, Dismantling & Recycling
We’re car wreckers and licensed auto dismantlers servicing Turangi and the southern Lake Taupo area. We buy damaged, non-running, written-off and end-of-life vehicles for wrecking, dismantling and recycling through our Hamilton-based operation.
If your vehicle is no longer practical to repair or keep on the road, we can assess its wrecking value. Whether it’s an older car with mechanical problems, a damaged 4WD or a vehicle that’s been sitting unused, we’ll review its condition and make an offer. Eligible vehicles may receive up to $12,000, with collection arranged upon acceptance.
What Our Turangi Car Wreckers Do
We help vehicle owners in Turangi find a practical solution for vehicles that have reached the end of their usable life. Our wrecking operation focuses on identifying what can still be recovered rather than treating the complete vehicle as waste.
As auto dismantlers, we recover suitable mechanical components, body parts and recyclable materials before processing what’s left.
Vehicles we purchase from Turangi are dismantled through our Hamilton facility. This service is for owners having vehicles wrecked, rather than customers purchasing replacement parts.

- The vehicle has repeatedly failed its WoF
