What counts as a scrap car
End-of-life vehicles that are not economic to repair: failed WOF with rust in the structure, blown motor in an old car, flood or fire damage, or a shell that has already been stripped for parts.

What a scrap car is worth in Northland
Scrap pricing follows steel markets and vehicle weight, and is lifted by anything still salvageable — catalytic converter, alloys, good glass, an intact motor. Even the tired ones start at real money rather than a disposal bill.
- Priced on weight plus remaining salvage
- Complete vehicles are worth more than stripped shells
- Catalytic converters and alloys add to the quote
- No charge if the car is empty, flat or bogged
Recycling done properly
Fluids are drained and disposed of to standard, tyres and batteries go to dedicated recyclers, usable parts are salvaged and the remaining steel is recycled — roughly three quarters of a car by weight comes back into use.
