Is that rusted sedan in your driveway starting to look like a permanent lawn fixture? We get it. Life gets busy, projects stall, and suddenly you’re the neighbor with “that car.” But here is the good news: your junk vehicle isn’t just taking up space—it’s a paycheck waiting to happen. At Dunedin Auto Parts, we specialize in providing the most competitive cash for scrap cars in the region, turning your unwanted driveway clutter into instant funds without the headache of private listings or expensive towing fees.
Why Your Driveway is Hiding Money
Most people look at a non-running vehicle and see a liability. You see oil leaks, flat tires, and a potential fine from the council. We look at that same vehicle and see valuable steel, aluminum, and salvageable components.
The scrap metal market fluctuates, but the demand for recycled automotive materials is constant. By choosing a professional wrecker, you aren’t just cleaning up your property; you’re participating in a circular economy.
The Dunedin Auto Parts Difference
We aren’t just another “man with a van.” As Dunedin’s Scrap Car Experts, we’ve built our reputation on three core pillars:
- Transparency: The quote we give you over the phone is based on real-time market rates and the specific condition of your vehicle. No “hidden fees” for towing.
- Efficiency: We know your time is valuable. In most cases, we can arrange a pickup within 24 to 48 hours.
- Local Expertise: We know every corner of Dunedin, from Mosgiel to Port Chalmers. Our local knowledge means we get to you faster and handle all the localized NZTA paperwork correctly.
How the Process Works (It’s Easier Than You Think)
Getting paid to clear your driveway shouldn’t be a secondary job. We’ve streamlined our process into four simple steps:
Frequently Asked Questions
“Does the car need to be running?”
Not at all. Whether it’s crashed, rusted through, or hasn’t started since 2012, we want it.
“What paperwork do I need?”
Just a form of photo ID and proof that you are the owner of the vehicle. We handle the “Notice of Disposal” and other bureaucratic hurdles for you.
“Do you charge for towing?”
Never. Our removal service is 100% free when we buy your scrap car.
Environmental Responsibility in Otago
Dunedin is beautiful, and we want to keep it that way. When you leave a car to rot in a driveway, hazardous fluids like brake fluid, coolant, and old oil can seep into the soil. At Dunedin Auto Parts, we follow strict environmental protocols to drain and recycle these fluids safely before processing the metal.
