Mains Motors Used Car Spares - End of Life Vehicles

In the UK today around 2.2 million vehicles come to the end of their life every single year.

Where do you think these vehicles end up?

Well some of them end up at the side of the road either dumped or torched. The rest of the vehicles might be disposed properly using the appropriate channels.

We want to make the UK not only cleaner but a lot safer as well by being an ATF (Authorised Treatment Facility). This enables us to de-pollute end of life vehicles and then recycle the parts either by resale or by recycling the spares.

Our site is fully compliant with all the rules and regulations stipulated by the Environment agency.

We have a covered bunded area to store up to 9 vehicles that are awaiting de-pollution and the fluids that are removed from the vehicles are also kept in a bunded area which can contain 110% of the fluid contained in the Tanks, this is also covered.

The vehicles are stripped down in two stripping bays using new equipment.

We have a team of 4 personnel that are de-polluting and stripping vehicles every day.

To de-pollute a vehicle, all the fluids and the hazardous waste must be removed from a vehicle before it can be stripped of its parts. This is done using specialist equipment and in a controlled environment. The de-pollution of vehicles is only carried out by trained personnel.

This is done in accordance with local legislation and government ruling. So whether we receive a car from a recovery firm or from an insurance broker all vehicles are treated with the same regard and de-polluted and stripped in accordance with all regulations.
