Welcome to another day in the life of KevTee, where every journey brings a new adventure in the world of scrap car collection. Join me as I hit the road in my trusty 7-car Scania transporter, navigating through towns and countryside to rescue vehicles that have reached the end of their road.
In each video, I take you along for the ride, sharing the ins and outs of my day-to-day work. From residential driveways to commercial lots, I encounter a variety of vehicles, each with its own story. Whether it's a classic car that's seen better days or a modern vehicle that's met an untimely end, I handle them all with care and professionalism.
My mission is more than just hauling away scrap; it's about sustainability and giving these cars a new lease on life, whether through recycling, salvaging parts, or even restoring them for the road. As part of the Charles Trent team, one of the country's leading vehicle recyclers, we're committed to eco-friendly practices, ensuring that each car is processed with the environment in mind.
So, buckle up and join me on this journey of discovery, challenges, and the occasional unexpected twist. Don't forget to subscribe for a regular dose of automotive adventures and insights into the fascinating world of vehicle recycling!

@@electroid8119 Actually a lot of it is caused by emission zones cropping up all over the UK, that make most pre-2015 diesels non-economically viable to use. Folk buy diesels for the fuel economy, so to be faced with a daily charge to actually drive them, results in their premature scrappage, ironically INCREASING Global CO2 output massively.

I remember coming back from London to Manchester, and got as far as Birmingham, when we had to stop because of an accident. It had just happened and I was about 3rd from the front. Two ambulances, one paramedic, three marked police cars, one unmarked police car and two fire engines turned up a couple of minutes after me. After about 10 minutes, we started moving. As I was passing the scene, it was a two vehicle shunt. I bet that when both cars were pulled apart, there wouldn't be a serious dent between them. That's Highways England for you.

Felt a bit wrong with the music while loading the cars, cause it made it harder to hear the engines of the cars and maybe diagnose for ourselfes what possibly could be wrong with it.

Driving on the motorways all across England & Wales I never once got any traffic in the late 90's t0 2006. What happened? I used to take the M4 and M5 A34, M40 almost daily. That squeak is probably a little bit of foam that's used for dust insulation that has moved enough to cause the problem. It's like electrical dust insulation not sure what you call it. Quick fix is silicone spray.
