Why Our Cash Prices Are Higher
Most Dunedin scrap yards assess your vehicle by weight alone — multiplying its estimated scrap metal content by the current steel price. That's typically $150–$500 for a standard passenger car.
We take a fundamentally different approach. Our team assesses both scrap metal value AND recoverable parts value. For popular NZ models like Toyota Corolla, HiLux, and Subaru Outback, parts assessment adds $500–$5,000 to the offer. For prestige vehicles like BMW and Mercedes, the difference can be even larger.
