Cut costs, maximise deductions. Why workshops are turning to recycled car parts this EOFY.

As the end of the financial year approaches, Australian businesses are looking for ways to reduce costs and maximise tax benefits. For mechanics, fleet operators and small businesses, using recycled car parts is proving to be a smart financial move, offering significant savings while keeping vehicles on the road.

"Many businesses don’t realise that choosing high quality recycled car parts can cut costs by up to 50% compared to new components,” said Chris Mallon, spokesperson for tech startup Wreckonnect. 

"At a time when budgets are stretched, switching to second-hand parts for vehicle repairs and maintenance is a practical way to reduce expenses without compromising reliability."

Recycled parts, including engines, alternators, transmissions, and body panels, are sourced from dismantled vehicles and rigorously inspected before resale. For businesses managing vehicle fleets or running busy workshops, opting for second-hand components can help lower operational costs, improve cash flow, and maximise tax deductions before June 30.

"With EOFY fast approaching, now is the time for business owners to review their expenses and take advantage of tax deductions on vehicle maintenance," Mallon added.

"Recycled car parts not only help businesses save money but also support a more sustainable approach to vehicle repairs."

Industry experts say the rising cost of new parts and ongoing supply chain delays have made second-hand alternatives an increasingly attractive option. Digital platforms like Wreckonnect are streamlining the process, allowing businesses to quickly find and purchase quality used parts from trusted wreckers across Australia.
