(Baonghean.vn) - Faces burned by the heat of the "stone wind", and hands always covered in grease... That is the familiar image of the car "dismantlers" on National Highway 7A in Nghe An.

| After the broken car is brought back, the workers here will cut the parts into small pieces, keep the mechanical parts separate, and separate the car frame to sell as scrap. Photo: Tien Dong |

| Every detail of a car through the hands of a mechanic will be dissected and classified separately. Photo: Tien Dong |
 |
| To cut the car frame, they use a gas cutter (also known as wind stone), which breaks down old rusted parts and separates the parts easily. Photo: Tien Dong |

| Loading and unloading machinery is very hard work, everyone is covered in grease. Photo: Tien Dong |
 |
| After the entire large car is disassembled, the machinery will be inspected and repaired if it can be restored, otherwise it will be sent to a scrap yard. Photo: Tien Dong |
 |
| The machines are cleaned of oil and then restored. Damaged parts are replaced to ensure normal operation. Photo: Tien Dong |
 |
| Some people from Dien Chau travel to buy used machines after they have been disassembled and cleaned. For those who work as "dismantlers", they only buy cars with intact frame and engine numbers. Photo: Tien Dong |

From just one small retail facility at first, there are now many facilities in this area that specialize in buying old, broken cars to disassemble. This place has also become a busy address for truck drivers, with an average of 8-10 cars being "dissected" here every day. Photo: Tien Dong |
