| 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 craftsman will be dissected and classified separately. Photo: Tien Dong |
 |
| To cut the car frame, they used a gas cutter (also known as wind stone), which decomposes old rusted parts and separates the parts easily. Photo: Tien Dong |
 |
| The work of lifting and unloading machinery is very hard, everyone is covered in grease. Photo: Tien Dong |
 |
| After the entire large car is disassembled, the machinery will be inspected and taken for repair if it can be restored, otherwise it will be sent to the 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 in the "dismantling" of cars, they only buy cars with intact frame and engine numbers. Photo: Tien Dong |

From just one small establishment at first, there are now many establishments in this area that specialize in buying old and broken cars for dismantling. 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 |
