You do not need an account with us to browse listings. However, if you find a vehicle that you want to bid on then you would have to become an agent with us. 

Becoming an agent with Salvage Local is simple and straightforward just give us a call and we’ll get you started. 

The details and images we provide should give you all the information you need, but if you’d like to see the vehicle in person, you can book a test drive before making your purchase.

​​A salvage car is a vehicle that has been damaged or written off by an insurance company due to accidents, theft, or other incidents.

These cars are classified into categories (A, B, S, or N) based on the extent of the damage. While some salvage cars can be repaired and returned to the road, others are only suitable for parts or must be scrapped entirely. 

Salvage cars are often sold at auctions, where buyers can either restore them or dismantle them for parts.

We list all our salvage vehicles online, primarily consisting of cars from a wide range of brands, styles, and model years. Our diverse selection ensures that there’s something for everyone.

With our regularly updated site, you’ll never run out of options to bid on, offering a constantly fresh selection of vehicles to suit every need.

Becoming an agent with us is easy and straightforward.

Simply give us a call, and our team will set up your account. To complete the verification process, you’ll need to provide documents such as your photo ID, business name, and proof of address.

Once verified, and after agreeing to our terms and conditions, you’ll be ready to start bidding on vehicles.

There isn’t a strict time frame for collecting your vehicle, but we do ask that you arrange collection as soon as possible.

If we’re unable to contact you during this time, we may need to issue a refund of credits and re-list the vehicle. Of course, this is subject to circumstances, and we’ll make every effort to reach you before taking action. However, if we cannot establish any contact, the vehicle will be re-listed, and you will lose your purchase.
