Most properties here are holiday homes or permanent beachside residences, so boats, trailers and beach-run vehicles are a common sight throughout summer. When one of those vehicles finally reaches the end of the road, however, or a family car parked at the bach starts costing more in rego and maintenance than it's worth, Cash for Cars Tauranga covers the Orokawa area with free pickup, whether you're there full-time or just for the holidays.
Additionally, coastal properties like the ones around Orokawa often end up storing a second or third vehicle that only gets used a few weeks a year — an old ute for hauling the boat trailer, a hand-me-down runabout for the kids, or a car that's simply been sitting under a carport since the last owner passed it on. We deal with exactly these kinds of vehicles every day. So whether yours has been off the road for years, has a cracked windscreen from a gravel driveway, or just isn't worth insuring anymore, we'll assess it over the phone and give you a genuine cash figure before we ever turn up.
We trade as Euro Plus Car Parts, and since 1985 we've bought, wrecked and recycled vehicles across the wider Bay of Plenty. In fact, we purchase cars, utes, vans, 4WDs and trucks in any condition — running or not, currently registered or long deregistered, tidy or written off. Our team dismantles every vehicle responsibly, resells usable parts as affordable used spares, and recycles the remaining materials in line with New Zealand environmental standards, so nothing from your old Orokawa car ends up going to waste in landfill.
Because Orokawa is a smaller, tucked-away part of the Waihi Beach coastline, some owners assume a scrap or wrecking service won't bother making the trip. That's not the case, though — our tow trucks regularly run the Katikati–Waihi Beach–Bowentown corridor, and a stop at your address costs you nothing extra regardless of how close or far you are from the main road. If you're only in town over summer or the odd long weekend, we can likewise work pickup around your travel dates rather than insisting on a fixed time.
Once your vehicle leaves Orokawa, it heads straight into our Bay of Plenty processing yard, where our team checks it for reusable parts before dismantling it responsibly. If you're a mechanic or DIY repairer needing affordable used parts for a similar make or model, call our parts line on 0800 10 20 80 and we'll help you track down what you need from vehicles we've already processed.
Yes, we're happy to arrange pickup around your visits, including weekends, school holidays and the summer period when Orokawa gets busiest.
We factor typical coastal wear and salt-air corrosion into our valuations, but rust doesn't stop us making a fair cash offer most beachside vehicles we buy have some degree of it.
It depends on the make, model, year and condition most vehicles fetch between $300 and $15,000. Call us for a specific, no-obligation quote based on your vehicle's details.
Yes, towing is 100% free anywhere around Orokawa and Waihi Beach, with no distance surcharge and no callout fee, no matter how far up the peninsula you are.
Absolutely a large share of the vehicles we collect around Orokawa haven't had a current WOF or rego in years. That has no bearing on whether we'll buy it.
