Our specialized recovery fleet is capable of navigating the city’s steepest streets and tightest driveways to winch out bogged or broken-down cars, saving you the hassle and high cost of hiring a private towing company. This end-to-end service ensures that from the moment you decide to part with your vehicle, you don’t have to lift a finger or spend a cent. By choosing a local team that understands the geography and the specific needs of Otago motorists, you are guaranteed a seamless transition from a cluttered property to a fatter wallet. We handle the heavy lifting, the technical de-pollution, and the complex disposal requirements, proving that when it comes to efficiency and reliability, our “We Buy, We Scrap, We Pay” motto is more than just a slogan—it’s a promise of quality.
Why Choose a Professional Car Wrecker?
Many people make the mistake of letting an unused vehicle sit on their property for years. While it might seem harmless, an abandoned car is more than just an eyesore; it’s a potential environmental hazard. Fluids like oil, coolant, and brake fluid can leak into the Dunedin soil, and rusted metal can become a nesting ground for pests.
By choosing Dunedin Auto Parts, you aren’t just getting rid of a “junk” car. You are participating in a sophisticated recycling ecosystem. As professional car wreckers, we ensure that every usable part is salvaged and every hazardous material is disposed of according to strict environmental standards.
We Buy: Any Make, Any Model, Any Condition
At Dunedin Auto Parts, we don’t discriminate based on the state of your vehicle. While some private buyers might turn their noses up at a blown head gasket or a dented fender, we see the value in every piece of steel and every functioning interior component.
What We Buy:
-
Accident Damaged Vehicles: If the cost of repairs exceeds the value of the car, don’t pour more money into a sinking ship. We’ll buy it as-is.
-
Failed WoF (Warrant of Fitness): Sometimes the list of repairs needed to pass a WoF is just too long. Skip the mechanics and call the wreckers.
-
Old & Unwanted Cars: From 90s sedans to early 2000s SUVs, if it’s taking up space, we want it.
-
Commercial Vans & Utes: We buy work vehicles too! If your trade van has finally given up the ghost, we can help you turn it into a deposit for your next one.
We Scrap: The Eco-Friendly Way
Dunedin is a beautiful part of New Zealand, and at Dunedin Auto Parts, we are committed to keeping it that way. Car wrecking is, at its heart, a form of heavy-duty recycling.
When we bring a car to our yard, it undergoes a meticulous “de-pollution” process. We drain all fluids and remove batteries and tires, which are processed separately. After that, we “strip” the car. High-quality engines, transmissions, and body panels are cleaned and tested to be sold as affordable spare parts. The remaining metal shell is then crushed and sent to be melted down and reused in new manufacturing.
This cycle reduces the need for mining new ores and prevents thousands of tons of waste from ending up in Otago landfills every year.
We Pay: Top Dollar for Your Scrap
The question everyone asks is: “How much is my car worth?” The value of a scrap vehicle is determined by several factors, including the current market price for scrap metal, the demand for its specific spare parts, and the weight of the vehicle. Because Dunedin Auto Parts has an extensive network and an efficient dismantling process, we are able to offer highly competitive rates.
Our Payment Promise:

No Hidden Fees: We don’t charge “towing fees” or “administration costs” that eat into your profit.
