Impact of Middle East conflict on wreckers in New Zealand

Export: There is a current reduction in demand for parts due to the absence of buyers in the Middle East, where the majority of engines and components from Australia and New Zealand are exported. In addition to this, containers are currently unable to be shipped to buyers in the Middle East.

Fuel costs: The rising cost of fuel is impacting collection logistics for wreckers.

Car sales: Falling consumer confidence in purchasing new vehicles due to recent interest rate rises, which reduces the volume of vehicles entering the recycling stream and therefore impacts parts market value.

Easy to use

The website was easy to use and gave me more confidence than I have been getting from calling phone numbers and not getting any reply. The text also gives me confidence you are not just taking information without converting that to action.

Highly recommend this business

The driver arrived at the time stated, was very friendly and communicative... the financial transaction was done in cash and the car loaded onto the truck. As a single woman, there is always the possibility that you will be taken advantage of, but honestly I had no qualms at all and I was offered a good price... I highly recommend this business...
