Frequently Asked Questions — Rakaia
Do you really come out to a town as small as Rakaia?
Yes. Rakaia is right on SH1 and we pass through regularly on our runs between Ashburton and Christchurch, so collection here is straightforward and usually quick.
Can you collect a vehicle from near the Rakaia River?
We can. Gravel tracks, shingle river flats and vehicles parked near the fishing huts are all manageable for us, and we winch anything that won't start or roll.
Do you buy tow vehicles and 4WDs used for fishing and boating?
Definitely. Rakaia has plenty of tow rigs and river-country 4WDs, and those often sit at the higher end of our range. Send the model for a figure.
Will you take a car that's been sitting dead for years?
Yes. Long-parked non-runners are no problem — we pay from $150 for scrap and remove the vehicle free with our winch truck.
Is there any charge for removal in Rakaia?
None. Collection anywhere around Rakaia is free, and the amount we quote is what you receive.
Who sorts out the paperwork?
We do. We complete the NZTA notification of disposal or change of ownership on site, so there's nothing left for you to file afterwards.
