A wrecking yard, sometimes referred to as a scrapyard, is a great place to pick up a part for your car at an excellent price. You may also like to sell your old, pretty much useless vehicle, to the scrap specialists.

If you’re not sure what to look for in a local wrecker, here are a few features to keep an eye out for:

  • A great range of parts to suit your vehicle. Variety is critical for a great wreckers. While some wrecking yards specialise in a particular make of car, others can offer parts for all vehicles. It’s a good idea to do your research and find a yard that meets your needs.
  • Knowledgeable staff. Cars are complex beasts, and chances are, you’ll need the assistance of a knowledgeable staff member.
  • Well-priced.No one like to be ripped off. The best wreckers in Canberra offer competitive prices – both for buying parts and selling your vehicle.
  • Convenient location. If you’ve got an old, less-than-road-worthy car to take to the wreckers, location is key. Even if your vehicle is legal to drive, you probably don’t want to be going an hour out of your way to get to the yard.

My son is an excellent car wrecker, having gone through three in his short driving career. 😉

Ezy scrap Mitchell. Help yourself to what is in the yard.

My experience is that, even in Qbn, they’re all “dismantlers” (as opposed to old-school wrecking yards) … tell them what you want and they’ve either got it on the shelf already, or they got out and retrieve it for you.
