Christchurch car wreckers paying top cash for cars, vans & trucks.
DEOL are your local Christchurch car wreckers. In our cash for cars service we arrange pickup, payment and disposal of any car that has reached the end of the road — and we pay you the same day you contact us. No waiting for auctions, no seller's fees, so you keep more of the cash.
Want to sell your car fast? We buy any car — running or not, deregistered, crash-damaged, or simply too old. Stuck with one blocking the driveway? Our free scrap car removal across Christchurch, Canterbury and Ashburton comes to you — just tell us when. Our veteran wreckers know the going rate for your vehicle and quote an exact figure: the cash in hand you were promised.

The easiest way to sell a car nobody else wants.
We're the end buyer for scrap cars, so there are no seller's fees. We pay what we quote — no nasty surprises, no marketing gimmicks, no complicated packages. When we say we'll pick your car up at a set time, we show up. Our whole model is about getting more money into your hands.
No seller fees, ever
The number we quote is the number you get. We don't nickel-and-dime the tow.
Green by default
Fluids drained safely, parts reused, metal recycled. Better for Canterbury.
