Step 1: Pickup & Transport to Our Wrecking Facility
Your vehicle is loaded onto our tow truck and taken to our licensed dismantling yard in the Hastings region.
Step 2: Hazardous Materials Are Removed
First, we safely drain all fluids from the vehicle, including:
-
Engine oil
-
Brake fluid
-
Transmission fluid
-
Fuel and coolant
-
Air conditioning gases
These materials are disposed of properly or recycled.
Step 3: Parts Salvaging
Next, we inspect the vehicle for usable parts such as:
-
Batteries and starters
-
Engines and gearboxes
-
Tyres and wheels
-
Windows, mirrors, and lights
Reusable parts are cleaned, tested, and made available for resale to other motorists or mechanics.
Step 4: Metal Crushing & Recycling
Once stripped, the vehicle’s shell is crushed and shredded. The metal is separated into types (steel, aluminium, copper) and melted down to be reused in manufacturing and construction.
Step 5: Rubber & Glass Recycling
Tyres are shredded and used for playground mats, turf, or road base. Glass is ground down and reused in insulation or glass production.
Step 6: Minimal Waste, Maximum Recycling
Thanks to our method, over 90% of your car is recycled. This greatly reduces landfill pressure in Hastings and helps maintain our beautiful natural landscapes.
