Frequently Asked Questions

The value depends on your vehicle’s make, model, year, weight, condition, and current New Zealand scrap metal prices. We pay between $200 and $15,000. Enter your rego number on our contact page for a free, accurate quote. Even completely written-off or non-running vehicles receive competitive offers.

We assess every vehicle based on two main components: the raw metal value (weight multiplied by current scrap steel prices) and the parts value (what salvageable components can be resold for). Combining both gives you the maximum possible return rather than a simple per-kilogram rate.

If your vehicle has remaining registration time, you may be entitled to a pro-rata refund from NZTA worth $50 to $200. Our team advises you during collection.
