Step 1: Free Collection from Your Property
Once you accept our offer, we’ll arrive at the scheduled time to pick up the car from your driveway, workplace, or paddock. You don’t have to move the car — we’ll tow it for free.
Step 2: Fluid Removal and Safety Check
Back at our dismantling yard, we begin by draining all hazardous fluids including:
-
Engine oil
-
Transmission fluid
-
Petrol or diesel
-
Brake fluid
-
Coolant
-
AC refrigerant
These are recycled or disposed of safely to prevent harm to the environment.
Step 3: Salvaging Usable Car Parts
Next, we dismantle the car and extract reusable parts like:
-
Engines and gearboxes
-
Tyres and wheels
-
Starters and alternators
-
Doors, windows, and bumpers
-
Lights and mirrors
These parts are tested and resold, reducing the need for manufacturing new components.
Step 4: Shell Shredding and Metal Recycling
Once all parts are removed, the car shell is crushed and shredded. Steel, copper, and aluminium are sorted and sent to metal recyclers for reuse in construction and manufacturing.
Step 5: Tyres and Glass Disposal
Worn-out tyres are repurposed as playground surfacing, road base, or energy sources. Glass is melted down and reused for insulation or other construction materials.
Step 6: Recycling More Than 90% of the Vehicle
We’re proud to achieve a recycling rate of over 90%. This means your old car is turned into something useful rather than ending up in Northland landfills.
