Step 1: Free Towing and Instant Payment
After you accept our quote, we arrive at your property at the scheduled time, complete the paperwork, pay you cash on the spot, and tow your car — all at no cost to you.
Step 2: Fluid Drainage and Hazardous Waste Removal
At our Hastings wrecking yard, the car is first drained of all fluids, including:
-
Engine and transmission oil
-
Brake fluid and coolant
-
Petrol or diesel
-
AC refrigerant
These fluids are handled in compliance with NZ environmental laws.
Step 3: Salvaging Usable Parts
Our skilled dismantlers remove all usable components such as:
-
Engines and transmissions
-
Batteries, radiators, and alternators
-
Mirrors, bumpers, and doors
-
Lights, wheels, and tyres
These parts are cleaned and tested, then resold to mechanics or customers across Hawke’s Bay.
Step 4: Crushing and Shredding
After parts are removed, the car body is crushed and shredded. Recyclable metals like steel, aluminium, and copper are separated and sent to local recycling facilities.
Step 5: Responsible Waste Disposal
Plastics, glass, and rubber are either recycled or disposed of safely. Our goal is to keep as much material as possible out of the landfill — over 90% is typically reused.
