Specialist Recovery Service.
Remove Car from Car park:
This is considered to be our main bread & butter work. Something we have completed successfully for 8 years. We have grown from one vehicle and no members of staff to, 3 staff members in total and 3 different towing vehicles...
We are based East of Birmingham in the West Midlands with excellent / nearby road access to the M6 motorway - allowing us to cover a greater distance with client contract work all across the Midlands, and all the way down to London where we are regularly situated.
Below video - A typical day for us removing a neglected car from an underground car park.
VEHICLE REMOVAL & STORAGE:
This is for clients who have abnormal car recovery requests. usually these vehicles have been stood sometimes for many years. We come across old classic cars stuck in hedge-backs at the bottom of gardens, all overgrown. We are asked to remove cars from driveways or garages where keys, and even documentation can't be found.
These jobs require specialist tools, vehicles and a certain level of care to safely remove only obtained by years of experience whereby a normal transport car collection company wouldn't be able to successfully fulfill.
Removing cars from private land can be problematic due to the difficult to reach places only accessible by 4x4.
Please note: For commercial works contact us with the requirement as the auction reward below may not be the correct strategy. For multiple vehicle recovery's we're happy to discuss alternative arrangements for a fixed contract.
With re-sale Preparation Available:
Rather than sending a single car or collection straight to auction vehicles are instead collected, assessed and sent to our Network of both short term and long term storage facilities providing the family members much needed time to decide a better plan of action. As the vehicles take up so much room and in many cases can be quite valuable - they can cause additional stress when deciding what to do with them, with a property that requires urgent clearing-out.
1) Allowing a property to be cleared out, renovated or sold.
2) Cars can be kept safely stored away should one choose - increasing in value.
2) They can be collected, assessed, provided with TLC to increase and sold - upon request. *This is just one example provided by a client of ours, a specialist family law firm committed to the handing of Estate matters*
3) They can be kept in safe indoor storage - prepared for the road and driven on a weekend by family members for example.
CAR SALVAGE AND AUCTION:
Unless instructed by a Solicitor or an FCA approved Finance or Insurance company (we act as a subcontractor), we require proof of ownership submitting (you must be the direct owner of the vehicle) prior to any works being undertaken.
Family members either direct or in direct can not instruct us.
The owner or staff member of a car park or private land can not instruct us.
Unless - In order to instruct us privately the following checks must be completed:
- Police National Data base - to check if it has been stolen.
- Check if there is any outstanding Finance.
- Check and obtain verified vehicle information.
- To issue a tort notice.
- Obtain permission for removal.
When you inquire with us we can provide the necessary legal steps for the process to remove.
We always try to seek either the owner or Finance company related when the unit comes to our secure compound.
Any vehicle collected FREE of charge, the offer to you or your company is a 50% reward (less the £750 fuel/collection/admin fee) when we take it to our local car auction company for re-sale.
If the vehicle is only worth scrap value there will be no reward due to our cost of collection.
If we locate the owner within a 30-day window - we can only charge them the recovery and compound fees as such the reward for re-sale can't be offered, but if it was stolen a gesture of goodwill will be requested from the owner. If they have received an Insurance payout and can not take the vehicle back - we will continue with the auction sale therefore provide you the 50% reward less the £750.00 fee as above.
Please note:
When a tort notice is serviced we must wait 30 days prior to collection once served on the said vehicle. We will guide you to complete this notice servicing correctly. There is no charge to you for this service by us. You do need to complete a vehicle check and submit this as part of the inquiry to us.
If however the vehicle does come back stolen we are able to collect it immediately.
Business Premises Vehicle Removal:
Similar to car salvage above we will work with you to ensure the vehicle can firstly be removed legally. Once the due diligence checks are complete and we've received the application form from you our team will come to the premises at a time convenient. We can also undertake these jobs discreetly, out of hours to save company face just in case their wasa personal issue with the said vehicle owner. You never know these days why a car has been neglected.
Our staff are highly trained and efficient. They know in some cases how to be patient and in some situations offer the right kind of condolences.
We are also trained debt collectors and know how to safely handle matters that may breach the peace.
