14 October 2026

1. Get a quote

Fill in the make, model, year, condition and suburb on the quote form. Photos help a wrecker price it accurately.

2. Compare the offer

A licensed local wrecker contacts you with a cash figure, usually the same business day. There is no obligation to accept.

3. Book the pickup

Most Auckland pickups happen within 24 to 48 hours. Towing is included for complete vehicles in accessible spots.

4. Paperwork and payment

Have photo ID ready and remove personal items and plates you want to keep. The wrecker pays on collection and notifies Waka Kotahi of the change of ownership.
