Why Our Prices Beat Hamilton Scrap Yards

Standard Hamilton scrap yards assess vehicles by weight alone — approximately $150–$500 for a typical passenger car. We assess both scrap metal value AND recoverable parts value. For popular NZ models like Toyota HiLux and Subaru Outback, parts assessment adds $500–$5,000 to our offer.
