Northland has experienced significant cyclone and storm damage in recent years — most notably Cyclone Gabrielle in 2023. We buy cyclone-damaged vehicles across Whangarei and Northland, assessing each vehicle individually for its actual recovery value.
Cyclone Gabrielle — Northland Vehicle Damage
Cyclone Gabrielle caused significant vehicle flooding and storm damage across Northland in February 2023. Many vehicles were written off by insurers, and many owners retained the salvage. If you still have a Gabrielle-damaged vehicle, we buy it.
What We Assess on a Cyclone-Damaged Car
Storm and cyclone damage varies dramatically by vehicle and flood depth. Our assessment covers: engine condition (has it been started since flooding — critical), gearbox condition, 4WD drivetrain, body panels (separate from floor/sill rust), interior components. We always pay above raw scrap weight.
NZTA Flood-Damage Certification
Vehicles that have been flood-damaged and are being sold for parts or scrap don't require flood-damage certification — we handle all NZTA documentation on site.
