Dispose of Your Car, Van, or Truck Today – Dunedin Auto Parts
Dealing with a vehicle that has reached the end of its life can be a logistical nightmare. Whether it’s a family sedan that finally gave up the ghost, a work van battered by years of service, or a heavy-duty truck taking up valuable commercial yard space, the question remains: how do you get rid of it responsibly and profitably? At Dunedin Auto Parts, we provide a seamless, eco-friendly solution for vehicle disposal that ensures you get a fair price while we handle all the heavy lifting and paperwork.
Why Choose Professional Vehicle Disposal?
When a vehicle becomes more expensive to repair than it is worth, it transitions from an asset to a liability. Choosing a professional service like Dunedin Auto Parts isn’t just about clearing space; it’s about making a smart financial and environmental decision.
- Financial Gain: Even a vehicle that doesn’t run has value in its metal and components.
- Legal Compliance: In New Zealand, disposing of a vehicle requires specific deregistration steps. We ensure the paper trail is handled correctly.
- Safety: Old vehicles can leak hazardous fluids (lead-acid batteries, mercury switches, and oils) that pose a risk to your family and pets.
We Take All Shapes and Sizes
At Dunedin Auto Parts, we don’t discriminate based on the size or condition of your ride. Our fleet is equipped to handle everything from compact hatchbacks to heavy commercial vehicles.
Car Disposal
From rusted-out project cars to modern vehicles involved in accidents, we provide a quick exit strategy for your unwanted cars.
Van and Ute Disposal
Vans and utes often lead hard lives in the Otago region. If your workhorse has finally called it quits, we offer competitive rates based on the high demand for van spare parts.
Truck and Commercial Disposal
Disposing of a truck requires specialized equipment. We have the heavy-duty recovery vehicles necessary to remove large trucks and machinery from your property safely.

Our Environmental Commitment to Dunedin
As a local business, we care about the Otago landscape. Improper vehicle disposal can lead to heavy metals and toxic chemicals leaching into our waterways.
Our Promise: Every vehicle we collect undergoes a rigorous “de-pollution” process. We strip the batteries, drain the oils, and recycle the tires before the chassis is crushed for steel reclamation. When you work with us, you’re choosing a greener future for Dunedin.
Common Questions About Vehicle Disposal
What if my car is missing wheels?
No problem. Our recovery drivers are experts at winching “rolling” or “non-rolling” shells onto our trucks.
Do I need to clean the car?
While we appreciate it if you remove your personal belongings (check under the seats for those lost sunglasses!), you don’t need to wash or detail the car for us. We take it “as-is.”
How long does it take?
Once you accept our quote, we usually aim to have the vehicle off your property within 24 hours.
