Has your insurer paid out your claim and left you with the vehicle salvage? Or are you a salvage buyer looking to sell on? We buy insurance salvage cars across West Auckland β and we frequently offer more than specialist salvage platforms because we recover full parts value.
What Is Insurance Salvage?
When an insurance company writes off a vehicle, they typically either:
- Pay you out and retain the salvage (selling it at auction)
- Pay you out and leave the salvage with you (particularly with uninsured third-party damage)
In both cases, there's an opportunity to maximise recovery value.
Why We Often Beat Salvage Auction Prices
Salvage auction platforms sell to the widest buyer pool β which includes dismantlers, dealers, and rebuilders. We buy directly, assess the vehicle ourselves, and can offer competitive prices because we:
- Know exactly which parts have demand in the NZ market
- Have existing buyers for specific high-value components
- Don't charge auction fees or buyer's premiums
- Can act immediately β no waiting for auction cycle

- Flood and water damage write-offs

- Fire damage write-offs
- Theft recovery vehicles (stripped or damaged)
- Mechanical failure write-offs
