Our Vision & Background

Salvage Local was founded in 2024 with a clear mission to change the way the salvage car market works.

For too long, buyers and sellers have been shut out of auctions or let down by hidden fees and poor information.

As part of the Scrap Local family, the UK’s trusted scrap car network, we set out to build a salvage marketplace where transparency, trust, and user experience come first.

Backed by years of expertise in automotive recycling, our team is passionate about connecting vehicles with people who can give them a new life, whether that’s back on the road or through quality recycled parts.

Transparency

No smoke, No mirrors, what you see is exactly what you get. Every vehicle comes with honest, detailed information and clear images, and all fees are disclosed upfront. We hold ourselves to the highest standards so you can buy and sell with complete confidence.

Accessibility

You don’t need to be a licensed breaker or pay a hefty subscription to buy from us. Public buyers are welcome alongside trade professionals, a first in a market where many platforms are trade-only. We believe in creating a level playing field, opening up the world of salvage to anyone with the passion and drive to get involved.

Community

We’re not just an auction site; we’re building a thriving community of salvage buyers, sellers, and enthusiasts. We celebrate the people behind the projects, from first-time buyers to seasoned traders, and we love showcasing your success stories. Share what you did with your Salvage Local purchase and inspire others in the community.

Education

Through our Knowledge Hub and dedicated customer support, we make learning about salvage simple and accessible. Whether you need clarity on a vehicle category, advice on repairs, or tips for getting the best deals, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Innovation

We use the latest technology to make your experience seamless, from AI-driven vehicle matching that suggests items you’ll love, to real-time bidding updates that keep you in the action. Our platform evolves with your feedback, with planned features including a dedicated mobile app, instant part compatibility checks via PartsLocal, and more game-changing tools for buyers and sellers alike.
