Wreckers in The Rock, NSW

Finding a wrecker in The Rock

Dismantling written off and end of life vehicles and selling the parts over the counter or freighted out. A yard buying vehicles in New South Wales holds a motor vehicle recycler licence and has to display it where you can read it from the gate, and a Victorian yard turning over more than four cars a year needs a licensed motor car trader number. Neither state permits a recycler to pay cash for a vehicle or a part. Ask what warranty the part carries and whether the yard can search other yards for stock before you drive to Wagga for it.

The Rock takes its name from Kengal, the granite outcrop in the nature reserve just west of town, which has a walking track to the summit. The town sits on the Olympic Highway and the Wagga to Albury rail line, and plenty of residents drive to Wagga for work. Cropping, contract harvesting and a growing set of rural residential blocks make up the local trade.

Listings are ordered by a quality score built from how complete the profile is, whether the business has claimed it, and whether we have checked a licence against the state register. Paid placement does not move that order, and any promoted slot is boxed and labelled where it appears. How we handle advertising.
