Cash for Cars and Scrap Cars in Ashburton

Free pickup in Ashburton, about 85 km from Christchurch. We buy the car ourselves and pay on collection: no sign-up, no fees.

Ashburton is one of our most regular runs outside Christchurch. Mid Canterbury vehicles do a lot of kilometres on farm roads and long highway stretches, and when they reach the end of the road they are often too far from a buyer for anyone to bother. We bother. DEOL buys scrap cars and unwanted vehicles in Ashburton, collects them free and pays you on collection.

Scrap cars, farm utes and everything in between

  • Scrap cars that are dead, rusted out or not worth repairing
  • Farm utes, 4WDs and light trucks, running or not
  • Cars with no WOF or expired rego
  • Crash-damaged and written-off vehicles
  • Cars that have been sitting in a shed or paddock for years

A complete vehicle carries the value. If the engine, gearbox or wheels have already been taken off, tell us when you ask for a quote.

Pickup across Mid Canterbury

Ashburton is about 85 km from Christchurch. We cover the town, Tinwald, Allenton, Netherby and Hampstead, plus Hinds, Rakaia, Fairton and the farms in between. We group pickups in the district, so a quick heads-up helps, and we will always confirm a firm day and time with you. Collection is free, wherever the vehicle is sitting.

You deal with the buyer, not a middleman

Some scrap car websites take your details and pass them on to a list of wreckers to bid on. We are not a listing service. We buy the vehicle ourselves, so the person who quotes you is the person who collects the car and pays you.

  1. Send your plate through the quote form.
  2. We look up the vehicle and call or text you with a cash offer.
  3. Accept, and we book the pickup and pay you on the day.

There are no listing fees, no commission and nothing taken off for collection. We complete the NZTA change of ownership, so the vehicle is off your name.

What is my scrap car worth in Ashburton?

Scrap value comes from the vehicle's weight and completeness, plus metal prices on the day. Utes, vans and 4WDs are heavier, so they are usually worth more than small cars. Read how we work it out on our scrap car page.
