If you’ve clicked on this blog, chances are your car has been written off. Sadly, there are times where the cost of repairing your vehicle simply isn’t worth it, but we’re here to make that process a little easier.
As trusted car wreckers in Perth, our job is to responsibly dispose of and salvage reusable auto parts from your vehicle. But what exactly happens to your car during and after wrecking? Read on to find out.
Step 1: Vehicle assessment and documentation
When your car undergoes a damage assessment for insurance, an assessor determines whether your car is repairable or simply too far gone. If it’s the latter, your vehicle will be declared a write-off and is now no longer safe for Perth roads.
So, what now? First thing’s first, you will need to de-register your vehicle and return your number plates to the Department of Transport. Next, you will be required to responsibly dispose of the vehicle or wreckage.
When you sell your written-off or unregistered car to Advanced Auto Wreckers, we can organise removal transport for you, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free process during what we understand is an already stressful time.
No need to take up space in your driveway, simply give us a call.
Step 2: Dismantling and salvaging used car parts in Perth
So your car has arrived at your choice of auto wrecker in Perth.
At our car wreckers in Maddington, our experienced mechanics will carefully dismantle your vehicle, salvaging any reusable parts, components, or accessories. Anything that remains intact or is salvageable can be reconditioned and resold to help local Ford and Holden vehicle owners access high quality, used car parts at a fraction of the price.
Any metal components that are beyond repair are sold on to scrap metal companies to recycle, rubber from tires is melted down and turned into something new, and plastic is given a second chance at life. Even batteries can be recycled when handled correctly!
But what about the rest of the car? Once the usable components, electronics and fluids have been removed, the wiring and any remaining components are carefully separated from the shell before it’s crushed.
Step 3: Quality testing and inventory management
At Advanced Auto Wreckers in Maddington, we meticulously test each component for functionality and reliability. Once quality tested, the parts are catalogued in our inventory system and uploaded to our car parts online portal for your convenience.
We only sell quality-assured car parts in Perth and offer a three-month warranty for your peace of mind.
When we sell used car parts for selected Holden and Ford models, it is not only an affordable option, but it helps to reduce unnecessary waste. Some car wreckers have an onsite mechanic and are able to not only sell parts to customers, but expertly fit them as well.
