When your vehicle lets you down or you’re looking to breathe new life into an old project, finding the right components quickly and affordably is essential. At Dunedin Auto Parts, we take pride in being the premier wreckers Otago residents rely on for quality, reliability, and an unbeatable selection. Whether you are searching for a rare transmission for a classic sedan or a simple wing mirror for your daily driver, our massive inventory ensures that you spend less time searching and more time on the road.
The Go-To Destination for Quality Used Auto Parts
Finding a reliable auto wrecker can often feel like a gamble. Will the part work? Is it the right fit? At Dunedin Auto Parts, we eliminate the guesswork. As a cornerstone of the Otago automotive community, we have built our reputation on transparency and high standards.
Why Choose Used Parts?
Many car owners are hesitant to buy used, but there are significant advantages to choosing recycled components from a reputable wrecker:
- Cost Savings: Used parts can cost up to 50-70% less than brand-new OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts.
- Environmental Impact: Choosing recycled parts reduces the demand for new manufacturing and keeps perfectly functional metal and plastic out of landfills.
- Perfect Fit: Since our parts are genuine OEM components pulled from existing vehicles, they often fit better than “aftermarket” alternatives.

The “Dunedin Auto Parts” Difference
What sets us apart from other wreckers in Otago? It’s our commitment to the customer experience. We understand that most people calling a wrecker are already stressed because their car is broken.
Expert Knowledge
Our team isn’t just a group of salespeople; we are “gearheads.” We know the nuances between a 2012 and a 2015 model change. When you call us, we don’t just check a computer—we use our expertise to ensure you get the exact part you need.
Testing and Quality Assurance
Every vehicle that enters our yard is carefully processed. We test the electronics, run the engines where possible, and check for structural integrity. If a part isn’t good enough for our own cars, it isn’t good enough for yours.
Supporting the Otago Region
From the heart of Dunedin to the reaches of Central Otago and beyond, we serve a diverse range of customers. We know that in our region, a vehicle isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity for getting to work, managing the farm, or exploring the Southern Alps.
“At Dunedin Auto Parts, we see ourselves as a vital link in the local circular economy. We take vehicles that are no longer roadworthy and turn them into a resource that keeps the rest of the Otago fleet moving.”
Cash for Cars
Beyond selling parts, we are also the leading buyers of scrap and unwanted vehicles. If you have a car that is “dead on arrival” or failed its WOF (Warrant of Fitness) too many times, we offer competitive cash prices and hassle-free removal.
