Section 1: The Treasure Trove of Used Car Spares
Quality You Can Trust, Prices You Can Affore
In the world of auto repair and restoration, the cost of new parts can often be prohibitive, turning a simple fix into a major financial headache. That’s where the value of genuine, used car spares from a reputable wrecker truly shines. At Dunedin Auto Parts, we specialise in salvaging high-quality components from end-of-life vehicles.
Every part that leaves our yard has undergone a rigorous inspection process. From fully functional engines and gearboxes to pristine body panels, headlights, and interior components, our extensive inventory covers a vast range of makes and models. Our skilled technicians carefully dismantle vehicles, test the viable parts, and meticulously catalogue them, ensuring that when you search for a specific component, you receive a reliable part that is ready for installation. Choosing used parts from Dunedin Auto Parts means getting OEM quality at a fraction of the cost of new components.

Section 2: Comprehensive Vehicle Wrecking & Recycling
Turning Unwanted Cars into Valuable Resources
The other critical service we provide is responsible and efficient vehicle wrecking. If you have an unwanted car—be it an insurance write-off, a non-runner, a de-registered vehicle, or simply an old clunker taking up space—Dunedin Auto Parts is ready to help you turn that metal into cash.
We offer a straightforward, hassle-free process for selling your vehicle. We assess your vehicle quickly, offer a competitive cash price, and provide a convenient, free collection service throughout Otago. Our professional team handles all the necessary paperwork, making the process seamless from initial quote to vehicle removal.
Beyond the convenience for the customer, our wrecking operation has a massive positive impact on the environment. We follow strict, eco-friendly dismantling procedures:
-
Fluid Drainage: All hazardous fluids, like engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant, are safely drained and contained for proper disposal or recycling.
-
Part Salvage: Valuable, reusable parts are carefully removed, cleaned, and catalogued for resale, extending their lifespan.
-
Material Separation: The remaining vehicle body is sorted into various materials—steel, aluminium, plastics, rubber—for dedicated reprocessing and recycling.
