Getting the best price for your van is a simple process when using either our online service, or when calling our team directly. Because our buyers specialise in the industry they have recovery vehicles suitable for every type of van, so regardless of the damage your vehicle has faced, we can recover it for you. For example vehicles without wheels or inflated tyres, will require a different recovery approach to a vehicle which is say, crash damaged, and can be driven onto the recovery vehicle with ease.

In instances where a van has reached the end of it’s life, the vehicle will go through a depollution process and be recycled by an Authorised Treatment Facility in line with governmental guidelines. There are instances where much older vehicles are suitable for salvage, however this is usually reserved for classic or collectable vans and not the majority. If a van is older, typically more than fifteen years, and the vehicle is more expensive to fix than the van’s overall worth, then the vehicle will not be suitable for salvage and will be referred to as an ‘end-of-life’ van. Vehicle’s which have not been repaired by specialists are often difficult to resell as the quality of the repairs, and the parts used, cannot be guaranteed. Whereas if a vehicle is sold to somebody who specialises in fixing vehicles and returning them to having a roadworthy status, it will be much more beneficial for them because they have access to trade discounts and the space and equipment required to repair a vehicle. For those who do not work in the industry the time and expense spent in sourcing parts for vehicles can be costly, and that’s before labour is factored into the equation.
Many people try salvaging vehicles and repairing them themselves however, this isn’t always the most cost, or time, effective option. For example Volkswagen Transporters are a particularly popular work van and so parts for these vehicles are always appreciated in the salvage market, regardless of whether the vehicle has failed it’s MOT, has been crash damaged or written off by an insurance company. Our network represents buyers for both scrap and salvage, so no matter how wrecked you feel your vehicle may be, we will be able to find a buyer and ensure that you get paid for your vehicle!
