How Car Removal Works

Selling a vehicle in Rotorua has never been simpler. Here's our step-by-step process from first contact to cash in hand.

01
Call, Text, or Fill in the Online Form
Contact us by phone on 0800203050, send a text, or use our online quote form. Tell us the make, model, year, and current condition of your vehicle. We'll confirm whether it's running, has a WOF, and where it's located.
02
Receive a Firm Cash Offer
Based on the details you provide, we'll give you a firm cash offer over the phone or by reply. Our prices are fair and based on current scrap metal rates and parts resale value. There's no pressure to accept take your time.
03
Schedule a Pickup Time
Happy with the price? We'll schedule a removal time that works around you. We often have same-day or next-day availability across Rotorua, Taupō, Whakatāne, and the Bay of Plenty. We service a wide coverage area.
04
We Collect You Get Paid
Our team arrives on time with all paperwork prepared. We complete the NZTA notification, hand over cash, and tow the vehicle, leaving your driveway or yard completely clear. The whole process takes less than 30 minutes on site.

Common Questions About Car Removal

Do you really take cars in any condition? ›
Absolutely. We purchase vehicles regardless of whether they run, have a current WOF, or are significantly damaged. Flood-damaged, fire-affected, written-off we take them all. The condition does affect the price we offer, but we will always make an offer.
Is towing genuinely free, with no hidden charges? ›
Yes, completely free. There are no towing fees, processing fees, or documentation charges. The cash offer we give you is the amount you receive. We cover all transportation costs from your location to our Lake Okareka yard.
What paperwork do I need to have ready? ›
Ideally, have the vehicle's registration plate number and your photo ID. If you have the original title or registration document that's helpful, but not essential. We handle all NZTA notifications ourselves you don't need to do anything with Waka Kotahi.
How quickly can you collect my vehicle? ›
In most cases we can arrange same day collection anywhere in Rotorua. For outlying areas like Taupō, Whakatāne, or Tauranga, we also collect within same business days. Contact us early in the day for same day service.
Can I sell a vehicle that isn't registered in my name? ›
We can still assist, but the process is slightly different. Please call us to discuss your specific situation. In most cases involving an estate, a gifted vehicle, or a purchased-but-not-transferred car, we can find a workable solution.
Do you pay more if my car has desirable parts? ›
Yes. If your vehicle has a sought-after engine, low-mileage components, or rare parts for popular models, we'll often pay a premium. Mention any recent work done, new tyres, or significant components when you call, it can meaningfully increase your offer.

Our Commitment

Environmentally Responsible Wrecking

Vehicle recycling done right reduces landfill, conserves raw materials, and keeps hazardous fluids out of Rotorua's waterways. Here's how we do our part.

Fluid Management
Every vehicle is fully drained on arrival — engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and air conditioning refrigerant are all collected and sent to licensed disposal and recycling facilities. Nothing goes into the ground or drains.
100%
of fluids responsibly disposed
Parts Reuse & Resale
Before any vehicle is crushed, our dismantling team removes all serviceable parts. Reusing these parts means fewer new parts need to be manufactured, reducing the carbon footprint of vehicle ownership across New Zealand.
90%
of each vehicle recycled by weight
Metal Recycling
The steel, aluminium, and other metals from crushed vehicles are sent to certified recyclers. Recycled steel requires just a fraction of the energy to produce compared to new steel from raw ore, making metal recycling one of the highest-impact actions we take.
10K+
tonnes recycled since 1998
