ELV’s can be divided into two categories:

NATURAL ELV: This is usually vehicles over ten years old and means that the vehicle that has simply come to the end of its life due to the wear and tear it has recieved due to its age. A decision is made on what parts are reusable but in the main an old car like this will be depolluted and then recycled for scrap metal.

PREMATURE ELV: Usually refers to vehicles that have come to the end of their life early usually because they will have been involved in a collision or accident and have suffered major panel damage, fire, flood or possibly theft damage. These cars will be given a category by their insurance companies. From these categories we can assess whether to dismantle and scrap the car or whether to sell it as damaged repairable salvage.

All vehicles will be collected using one of our own recovery vehicles. This means any vehicle requiring collection must be in a postion that a recovery van can get to.
