Ever wondered what really happens after you sell your old car to Cash For Cars Nelson?
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the full process — from pickup to recycling — and why it matters.
Step 1: Instant Pickup from Your Location
Once you accept our offer, we schedule a FREE pickup. Whether you’re in Stoke, Tahunanui, or Nelson Central — our truck comes to you.
No towing fee. No delay. No hassle.
Step 2: Instant Cash, On the Spot
You hand over the keys and ownership papers (if available).
We pay you cash or bank transfer before the vehicle even moves.
Step 3: De-registration & Eco-Processing
Your vehicle is taken to a certified yard where:
-
It’s de-registered with NZTA (if not already)
-
Fluids are drained (oil, coolant, fuel)
-
Tyres and battery are removed safely
Step 4: Parts Recycled or Resold
Any working parts — alternator, gearbox, starter motor — are salvaged for reuse.
This reduces demand on new manufacturing and keeps valuable resources in circulation.
Step 5: Metal Crushing & Recycling
The vehicle shell is crushed and sent to local metal recycling facilities in Nelson or greater Tasman.
Steel and aluminum are separated and reused — closing the loop.
