About Our Auto Breakers Service
Our breaking process follows SEPA depollution standards. Battery acid, coolant, brake fluid, and fuel are extracted first. Salvageable engines, gearboxes, and body panels are catalogued and shelved. The bare shell is then crushed and baled for smelting.
What We Accept
Vehicles we regularly handle through our auto breakers service:
- High-mileage cars with serviceable engines -- Ford EcoBoost, VAG TSI/TDI, BMW N-series and B-series units
- Vehicles with undamaged body panels -- doors, wings, bonnets, and tailgates in good condition
- Cars with working gearboxes -- manual and automatic units bench-tested before sale
- Accident-damaged vehicles where one end is destroyed but the other half yields clean parts
- Fleet and trade vehicles -- ex-rental, ex-lease, and trade-ins past economic repair
- Older models in demand for parts -- Mk4 Golfs, Ford Mondeos, Vauxhall Astras, and similar high-volume cars
- Vans with reusable running gear -- Transit engines, Vivaro sliding doors, Sprinter axles
How We Operate
Our auto breakers process from start to finish:
- Vehicle Assessment -- Each car is inspected to identify which components are worth recovering versus recycling.
- Depollution First -- All fluids, refrigerant gas, and the battery are removed under SEPA depollution rules before any stripping begins.
- Systematic Stripping -- Engines, gearboxes, alternators, starters, ECUs, and body panels are removed in sequence to avoid damage.
- Bench Testing -- Engines are compression-tested, gearboxes bench-run, and electrical parts function-checked before shelving.
- Cataloguing and Storage -- Every part is tagged with make, model, year, and mileage, then stored in our warehouse.
- Shell Recycling -- The bare chassis is crushed, sheared, and baled for UK steel mills. Over 95% recovered by weight.
