Car and Auto Wreckers in Australia

Car wreckers are businesses or locations where decommissioned vehicles are brought and dismantled. Their usable parts are often removed, sold and installed on operating vehicles. They are often called auto wreckers in the United States of America and car breakers in the United Kingdom.

In recent years, many car wreckers have begun using satellite part finder services in Australia to contact multiple salvage yards from a single source. Many of these businesses are now web-based wherein customers can email requests instantly. Car parts that are requested are usually removed from the unusable car beforehand and provided to the customer immediately upon request at the location.
