We scored 6 car breakers' yards on 22 metrics. The key question for the buyer: can used spare parts be browsed and prices viewed online before contact, and are free collection of scrap cars, an official certificate of destruction, a spare-parts warranty and delivery terms stated openly, or do they only become clear on the phone?
An auto dismantler sells inspected used spare parts from dismantled cars and accepts scrap cars for recycling. The comparison measures how openly the dismantler presents its spare parts range, prices, scrapping certificate, spare parts warranty and delivery terms online before you make contact. Some dismantlers offer a browsable spare parts search with prices online, while others sell spare parts by phone enquiry.
Used spare parts can be browsed or searched online (own spare parts search or online shop, not just a phone number) (20), spare part prices visible online before contact (14), free collection of a scrap car and official scrapping certificate clearly stated (14), official reception point or authorisation mentioned (Autopurkamoliitto, Suomen Autokierrätys, recycling partner or environmental permit) (12), warranty or exchange right for a used spare part stated (12), delivery method and terms of spare parts stated (post, carrier or pickup) (10), return right for a spare part stated (8), breadth of range stated (number of cars or parts, makes and models) (6), business ID (Y-tunnus) or company details shown on the site (4)
Transparency is 30% of the basic metrics, i.e. 15% of the total points · these metrics make up its 100 points · the full formula and the other pillars
How to read the comparison correctly: Half of the points come from buyer's questions, i.e. things the buyer finds out before deciding. The other half measures how openly the company publishes its prices, terms and contact details. Clear differences in points indicate a genuine difference: one tells you the price immediately, another only after logging in. Close scores should not be read as a ranking order, because every measurement has a margin of variation. The measurement accuracy and the full calculation formula are open in the methodology.
Customer experience is brought into the assessment separately. We also collect customer feedback and customer experiences about companies through separate surveys. The survey results will be added to the overall assessment later.
The comparison covers car dismantlers that sell used spare parts to consumers and accept scrap cars. The scores show how openly the dismantler presents its spare parts range, prices, certificate of destruction, spare parts warranty and delivery terms before contact.
Included are both car dismantlers that have a browsable parts search with prices online, and operators that rely heavily on the phone. All six are official end-of-life vehicle reception points that issue a certificate of destruction. Nationwide parts joint-search and marketplace platforms (for example Ovoko and Varaosahaku.fi) have been left out because they aggregate the stocks of many dismantlers and are not individual dismantlers.
Every company is measured with the same public formula: half of the points come from buyer's questions and half from basic metrics, which have four pillars: technical quality, transparency, reachability and AI quality score. Ranking cannot be bought, and you can see the origin of each point on the company's profile. Read the full methodology →
A car dismantler sells used original parts from dismantled cars and accepts scrap cars. An online shop for new spare parts sells new aftermarket or original parts. A used part is usually cheaper and more ecological, but availability depends on which cars the dismantler has received.
The dismantlers in the comparison usually collect a scrap car free of charge within their own service area. Collection and the certificate of destruction are free of charge for the car's last owner. Check the service area on the dismantler's website.
A scrapping certificate is an official document by which a car is permanently removed from the register. Only after that does the vehicle's tax and insurance liability end. The certificate is issued only by an official end-of-life vehicle reception point.
It depends on the dismantler. Some offer an exchange guarantee on parts and, for example, a seven-day right of return if a part does not fit. Others sell parts without a separately stated warranty. Ask about the warranty and right of return before buying.
Some car dismantlers offer a parts search that can be browsed online or an online shop where you can see a part's availability and price. At others, parts are sold by phone enquiry, in which case the price becomes known only after contact. The comparison scores this difference.
