Started in 1965 by Graeme and Glenda Nunn, Barry James Central Motor Wreckers quickly became a major name in auto salvage in the Ballarat area, with Graeme himself touted as a 'king of wrecking'. Establishing a 'set 'em up, knock 'em down' style of business, Graeme turned a smash repairer's side business into a trusted name in its own right. 

Our team of auto part recyclers posses a gifted eye for finding value in written-off vehicles others might overlook. Taking on his son Jamie in 1989, Graeme made Central Motor Wreckers a family business, passing on his knowledge to the next generation.

With Graeme retiring in 2000, Jamie now leads a team of 15 experienced staff, including dismantlers, former car salesmen and wreckers from across Australia, gathering the best eyes and minds in the business under his brand. With over 250 years of combined experience in the team, you can be sure to get a good deal on your written off vehicle, or a competitive price on spare items for your vehicle either collected on-site or shipped nationwide.
