Car Salvage & Auction:
Unless instructed by a Solicitor or an FCA approved Finance or Insurance company (act as a subcontractor), proof of ownership is required (you must be the direct owner of a 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 / private land can not instruct us.
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 a vehicle.
We always try to seek either the owner or Finance company related when the vehicle comes to our secure compound.
- The offer to you or your company is a 50% reward (less the £750 fuel/collection/auction 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 the 30-day window we can only charge them the recovery and compound fees. As such the reward for auction re-sale can't be offered.
If the owner has received an Insurance pay-out and are unable to take the vehicle back - we will continue with the auction sale therefore provide you the 50% reward less the £750.00 above, and the auction fees.
Please note:
When a tort notice is served we must wait 30 days prior to collection once served on the said vehicle.
- We can guide you to complete this notice serving correctly.
There is vehicle check you must pay for separately as part of the application process to be submitted to us. These vary from £9.50-£29.50 but provides legal information about the said found vehicle to remove.
If the vehicle does come back stolen we are able to collect it immediately.
Vehicle Removal & Storage:
This is for clients who have abnormal car recovery requests. Usually these vehicles have been stood sometimes for many years. Old classic cars stuck in hedge-backs at the bottom of overgrown garden's are a speciality.
- Tasked to remove cars from driveways or garages where in some situations the keys, and even documentation can't be found.
- Removing cars from private land can be problematic due to the difficult to reach places only accessible by 4x4.
These jobs require specialist tools, vehicles, and a certain level of care to safely remove obtained only by years of experience whereby a normal transport car collection company would not be able to fulfil.
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 (bereavement storage) 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.
