Auto (or vehicle) dismantling is the careful taking-apart of end-of-life cars for parts, recyclable materials and scrap metal. We dismantle all types of vehicles following industry-established safety procedures — right here in Christchurch.
What we dismantle
We take in cars, vans, utes and trucks of any make or model, running or not. That includes damaged and accident vehicles, non-runners, deregistered cars and older vehicles that have reached the end of the road. Whatever the condition, there's usually value in the parts and metal.
How our dismantling process works
- We buy the vehicle — you get a cash offer and free pickup anywhere in Canterbury.
- Fluids are drained safely — fuel, oil, coolant and other fluids are removed and handled responsibly.
- Reusable parts are removed — panels, engines, gearboxes, alternators, lights, wheels and more are checked and set aside for resale.
- The shell is recycled — the remaining steel and metal is sent for recycling rather than landfill.
Why it matters
Dismantling keeps usable parts in circulation and metal out of landfill, which is better for the environment and keeps costs down for Canterbury drivers looking for affordable second-hand parts. It's the same process behind our cash for cars and vehicle recycling services.
