Step 1: Free Pickup from Your Property
We arrive at your location with our tow truck and paperwork. Once you’ve signed the ownership transfer and received your cash, we tow the vehicle to our Christchurch facility.
Step 2: Hazardous Fluids and Materials Removed
At our wrecking yard, we drain all fluids:
-
Engine and transmission oil
-
Brake fluid and coolant
-
Fuel and refrigerant gas
These are disposed of in accordance with NZ environmental standards to prevent soil or water contamination.
Step 3: Salvaging Usable Parts
Next, we remove working components such as:
-
Engines, gearboxes, radiators
-
Alternators, batteries, and starter motors
-
Doors, mirrors, and panels
-
Headlights, tail lights, and bumpers
These parts are tested, cleaned, and sold second-hand at affordable rates to mechanics and car owners.
Step 4: Crushing and Shredding
The remaining car body is crushed and sent through a shredder. Metals like steel, aluminium, and copper are separated and sent to recycling plants.
Step 5: Glass, Plastic, and Rubber Reuse
We also recycle:
-
Glass (used in insulation or new glass)
-
Plastic panels and trims
-
Tyres (used for landscaping or roading)
Step 6: Eco Impact — Over 90% Recycled
Thanks to our comprehensive process, we recycle more than 90% of each car — helping reduce landfill and promote sustainable practices across Christchurch.
