Local and trusted
The local yard behind your cash offer
Dunedin Autoparts is a fully locally owned and Kiwi run car wrecking yard at 100A Old Brighton Road, Fairfield, Dunedin.
For more than five years we have bought over one thousand unwanted, old, damaged and scrap vehicles across Otago. Because we dismantle vehicles ourselves through our Otago wrecking service, we can buy cars that private buyers may not want.
We also help complete the change of ownership process with Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency, so the vehicle is no longer connected to you after collection.
Responsible recycling
Better for your pocket and better for Otago
Every vehicle is dismantled carefully. We keep parts that can be used again and send the rest for proper recycling instead of landfill.
- Fluids, oils and batteries removed and recycled safely
- Working parts recovered and sold for reuse
- Scrap steel and other metals sent for recycling
