Ripley Autospares Vehicle Salvage
We have a wide range of recovery vehicles that can safely recover most vehicles.
95% of our salvage comes from Insurance Companies, Accident Management Companies. We also purchase salvage from Finance Companies and from vehicle owners.
We operate three sites across the South of England all of which are approved Authorised Treatment Facilities. Vehicles are de-polluted, contaminants such as oil, petrol, and antifreeze are drained and stored for later safe disposal as per the ELV directive and parts are recycled or sold within the UK and Europe.
ELV's are treated and crushed before being sold into the scrap metal market.
We process around 15,000 vehicles per year at our facilities and each site holds around 300, all three sites have secure storage compounds where vehicles can be stored for as long as our customers require.
All Insurance Company vehicles are stored in our secure compounds while awaiting clearance and once cleared Category C & D Salvage can be sold directly into the motor trade or to the end-user with potential buyers having the opportunity to view stock at our three secure locations and sometimes via email. If you would like further information please call or email us
We collect vehicles from all over the South East, and from further afield; please contact us to discuss your needs

End of Life Vehicles
Our depots in Hailsham, Hastings & Ashford are DVLA approved Authorised Treatment Facility, with the latest equipment installed to safely dispose of your unwanted vehicle in accordance with EU recycling targets "The End of Life Vehicle Directive" regulations which came into force in 2005 .
The main aim of the ELV directive is to reduce waste, minimise the risk of pollution from vehicles and promote the re-use and recycling of materials post de-pollution.
What does the ELV directive mean:
Vehicle manufacturers must ensure that the vehicles they produce achieve certain recycling targets
Vehicle recyclers must dismantle vehicles in an environmentally responsible manner and achieve between 75 & 85% recycling targets.
The vehicle owner must dispose of their unwanted vehicle in a legal and responsible manner by using an Authorised Treatment Facility.
We are also a member of the CarTakeBack scheme.
What does this mean to you:
No headaches with paperwork
We can provide you with a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) for each vehicle we dispose of. Once the Certificate has been issued, you are not responsible for the vehicle.
As we are an Athorised Treatment Facility you will not run the risk of a heavy fine in line with the new laws on continuous registration or be liable for any illegal use of the vehicle.
All fluids and materials from the cars we receive are recycled in accordance with the ELV directive so we are the environmentally friendly choice
We can collect your vehicle for disposal
