With 42 years experience in the salvage and recovery business, Gowing Auto Salvage are now at the forefront of meeting the new legislative requirements by offering a brand new environmentally friendly vehicle disposal service. We will collect all makes and models of unwanted vehicles and de-pollute them in our brand new, purpose built, de-pollution centre prior to disposal.

Gone are the days of simply towing your car to your local scrap yard! The End of Life Vehicle Act (ELV) came into force in 2003 with the effect that any vehicle reaching the end of its road-going life, must, by law, be taken to a licensed ELV site to be de-polluted and scrapped.


In August of 2004 Gowing Auto Salvage embarked on this new environmentally friendly scheme. We had to satisfy a mass of strict regulations to meet the new legislation, but after a great deal of hard work we were granted our ELV Licence by the Environment Agency in December 2004. We are proud of the fact that we are among only a very few companies who that have been accepted nationwide.

Our experience of the business and our drive to be among the first to achieve our ELV Licence has made us the leading ELV and Salvage centre in East Anglia.
