When Mark’s 20-year-old hatchback broke down on the way to work, he thought he’d be out hundreds in towing and repairs. Instead, he got paid $850 on the spot, scored a free ride back home, and even picked up tips on affordable second-hand cars!
All because he called the most trusted car wreckers Hastings has to offer.
How Car Wreckers Turn Rust into Instant Cash Reward
Most people see an old, inoperational, accident-damaged vehicle and think “junk.” But even if your car’s coughing its way to the curb, dumping it in the landfill is a bad idea—especially when you can get cash for cars Hastings residents no longer need.
A capital B bad idea.
And no, we’re not exaggerating.
Cars contain various fluids—such as engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant—as well as hazardous materials like lead-acid batteries. If not properly disposed of, these substances can seep into the ground, contaminating soil and nearby water bodies.
The impact? It goes beyond just polluting drinking water sources.
It poses serious long-term risks to ecosystems, agriculture, and public health.
With over 150,000 vehicles reaching the end of their life each year, it might look like a bleak picture—but it doesn’t have to be. From same-day cash offers to free towing services and second-hand auto parts, businesses like Bay Cash for Cars are redefining what it means to say goodbye to a vehicle that no longer serves its intended purpose.

That old car sitting in your driveway could be worth more than you think.
Quite possibly—more than a full week of work!
While private buyers haggle over dents and paperwork, car wreckers value what matters—scrap metal and parts. Thanks to free car removal Hastings wide, you also avoid hidden costs in towing.

As trusted car wreckers Hastings locals trust, all makes and models are fair game to us—even if they’re no longer roadworthy. So whether you’ve got a classic car that’s lost its shine, a limited-production model that no longer turns heads at shows, or a once-reliable ride that spends more parked than on the road, we’ve got you covered.
Free Car Removal
Towing a car can cost anywhere from $80 to $200.
However, that figure can climb higher depending on a few factors, such as:
- Location: if the tow involves long-distance travel.
 - Timing: if the service is needed outside regular business hours.
 - Specialised equipment: for cars exceeding gross vehicle mass of 3,500kgs.
 
With average payouts ranging from $50 to $1,000 for dead, non-running, unwanted, and flood- or crash-damaged vehicles, why let towing fees cut into your cash? Our complimentary car removal service ensures you keep 100% of your vehicle’s value.
All you need to do is share your postcode—we’ll take care of the rest!

Instant Cash for Cars
No bank transfers.
No bouncing cheques.

Go Green with Every Wreck: Eco-Friendly Disposal
The invention of the automobile has undeniably made life more convenient—but that convenience comes at a cost. From climate change and air pollution to the depletion of natural resources, vehicles have had a significant impact on the environment.
But there is a way to minimise your environmental footprint—during disposal!
And we’re here to make that process easier for you. Learn more about how car removal companies support a cleaner future through responsible dismantling, recycling, and eco-friendly practices.
Once your car reaches our facility, it’s carefully dismantled to recover usable components, extending their lifespan. Hazardous fluids are safely disposed of, following strict environmental standards. The remaining metal is then shredded and recycled for use in industries like construction, electronics, defence, and aerospace.
Affordable Used Car Parts That Last
New Zealand does not have a domestic car manufacturing industry. So, every vehicle—and every brand-new part—arrives by sea [Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) and container shipping methods] or air. Those outrageous shipping fees, import duties, and taxes don’t disappear; they’re added to the sticker price you pay at the counter.
Safe to say, owning a car can get costly quickly!
As wreckers, we deal with this reality every day.
Which is why we’ve made it our mission to offer a smarter solution.
We believe that even after a car is no longer roadworthy, it still holds value. That’s why we carefully salvage all functional components from the hundreds of different makes and models we dismantle every day—so you can access the parts you need. From engines, catalytic convertors, and transmissions to batteries, wheels, and body panels, we offer a wide selection of quality-tested parts at affordable costs.
