Step 1: Vehicle Pickup from Your Property
After you book a quote and accept our offer, we dispatch a tow truck to pick up your vehicle from anywhere in Tauranga or surrounding areas. You don’t need to move the vehicle — we’ll tow it, pay you, and help complete the paperwork.
Step 2: Fluid Drainage and Hazardous Material Removal
Before dismantling begins, we drain all fluids including:
-
Engine oil
-
Transmission fluid
-
Brake fluid
-
Coolant
-
Petrol or diesel
-
AC refrigerant
These are safely disposed of or recycled, preventing pollution and groundwater contamination.
Step 3: Salvaging Reusable Auto Parts
Next, we identify and remove usable car parts like:
-
Engines and gearboxes
-
Radiators
-
Alternators and starters
-
Tyres and batteries
-
Doors, windows, and mirrors
These parts are cleaned, tested, and sold at a fraction of the cost to local mechanics and car owners.
Step 4: Crushing and Metal Recovery
Once the parts are stripped, the car body is crushed and fed into a shredder. Valuable materials such as steel, aluminium, and copper are recovered and sent to recycling plants.
Step 5: Glass, Plastic, and Tyre Recycling
Glass is melted down and reused in construction or insulation. Tyres are repurposed into soft-fall playground surfaces, roading materials, or recycled energy sources.
Step 6: Over 90% Recycled
We pride ourselves on achieving over a 90% recycling rate. Car Wreckers Tauranga isn’t just about car removal — it’s about responsible recycling.
