Step 3 : Vehicle Collection

On of our vehicle technicians will come to collect the vehicle on the agreed date and time. The vehicle technician will need to check your car to ensure it is as described he will then settle whatever the agreed payment will be. All necessary documentation will need to be handed over which will include V5 registration document (log book) and the current MOT certificate or any previous MOT's. If possible any handbooks that go with the car are always useful such as service books etc.

The log book(V5) is required to be completed by both parties which ensures that ownership is transferered to us. This is a legal requirement that ensures that you will have no further legal obligation to that vehicle .

Step 4 :ELV Process

We the return the car to our scrap yard in Bolton upon which a decision is made on what to do with the vehicle. If your old car is in a particular bad state of repair or is uneconical to repair, your vehicle will be stripped of any reusable parts and be depolluted. However if the vehicle is in a decent state of repair it may be repaired and then sold on.
