Self Serve Wreckers, Greater Sydney

[mondeomatureguy]

Hi Everyone,
when i was 21 and had a 1964 Chev belair i used to Visit a Wrecker out at Londonderry on the Northern Road.
When you got there you took your tools with you and got what you wanted yourself then showed him the parts and he would give you a price.

The first time i went there he told me " if you steal any car parts at all i going to punch you in the head".

Thank goodness I am a Honest guy!

My mistake PG2, I meant Budgewoi wreckers - not Tuggerah.

The one in Kooragang - there’s no cars on the satellite photo. Is the address wrong in Google or have they changed business model?

Anything two hours’ drive or less from the Parramatta River, I’ll consider Greater Sydney.

There is no business model.

They have recently bought a lot of stock. They mainly advertise through Facebook marketplace.

Bero has been shut for a while.

Cardiff has moved to Munibung Rd and is being operated by the same owner as before. You can't walk around their yard anymore but most of their wrecks sit in the customer car park or out on the road anyway.

The recent reviews are a bit harsh! Implied, it has changed owners and not for the happiness of customers… Not sure I’d bother.
