Buy My Car

FAQs

Which types of cars do you buy?

We buy any car.  We’ve previously purchased end-of-life vehicles, stolen-recovered vehicles, salvage vehicles, cars that are simply scrap, as well as cars that are simply more trouble than they’re worth to their owners.  You can buy used cars, meanwhile, in our salvage auctions.  We also buy vans and more.

So, really, any vehicle?

Some buyers will give cars a serious inspection: this is because they’re only interested in the re-sell value.  However, at ASM we know that if a car isn’t suitable for re-selling, we can easily recycle it in our facility.

And I’ll be in the clear, regulations-wise?

Completely.  Our hi-tech, cutting edge workshops mean we’re able to prepare your car for scrapping and recycling entirely in accordance with the European ELV Directive, leaving you completely worry free.

Our process

Our operating centres mean that we’re able to comprehensively dismantle any vehicle, retaining any still valuable parts for re-sale whilst ensuring that all of the necessary environmental directives are met with.

• First, we de-pollute the shell of the car, and safely store any pollutants removed.
• Then, the fluids are completely drained – petrol, oil, antifreeze, brake and transmission fluids, etc.
• Any re-usable parts from the car are removed, cleaned up and restored if they’re able to be re-sold.
• Any parts that can’t be re-sold are removed as well.
• The chassis of the car and any other remaining parts are crushed and then fed into the shredder, following which the metal is melted down.
