Wow !! Full marks to Trent for taking car recycling into a new and very positive dimension. You really are an excellent ambassador for the company too!
I don't mind van delivery videos. Nice to see you're getting a bit of variation. Also interesting to see how far breaking and salvage has come over the past 10-15 years in terms of modernisation and more environmentally friendly facilities, and that perfectly good recovered parts aren't going straight to the crusher.
I've worked in parcel delivery for most of my career so far and I'm not gonna lie I was giggling for your mistake of loading first and checking the route after that 😂 Can make it so much more difficult than it needs to be 😁
Wow! That place is changing. Remember spending many happy hours in their yard picking through the scrap cars. Nice to see they’re doing so well, wouldn’t mind working in a place like that myself to be honest 👌
Excellent video Kev! Fantastic facility Trent’s have, so good they are expanding, employing more people and taking recycling into the 21st century, enjoyed your travels in the parts Van! Look forward to seeing more and then your return to the Scania! Keep up the good work and keep safe! 😀🚛
Not long subscribed and have watched other videos of you collecting vehicles but this video has been very helpful as I have ordered a mirror unit for my Astra after your tour of Trent's new recycling and then you delivering the parts without this video I would not have ordered with Trent's so thank you.
Very enjoyable vlog . How about taking one of the cars you pick up then follow it on its last journey through your new facility ! Also how about an interview with one of the Trent family . That would be really interesting learning their history
Great video and it's good to see Trent moving up in terms of vehicle recycling. Although always load your deliveries in order that they will come off the van.
Massive congratulations to Trents for getting ahead of the curve and everyone else, on vehicle recycling. Clearly, they have some very smart people in charge. I live in the Poole area and as Kev says, they are a local family business who've been around forever. I can remember going to their yard over 50 years ago, climbing across stacks of (unstable) old cars trying to find bits for my beloved first car - an Austin A35! I recall buying a bottle jack for 7/6d (37.5p). Seeing what they've achieved makes me think that Trents could probably make a pretty decent job of running the country too.
It's good to see the other side of the trucking and collecting of cars on your truck Kev , I do like your vlogs on the truck , but it would be nice see more of actual full recycling . I've got videos up online of car recycling , one of my videos has had over 4.1 million looking at it .
Great video, the new stuff at Trent's is amazing. Spotted the Mk2 Black XR2 at your last delivery. I have great memories of owning one of those back in the 90s, a great little car!!
This is a great vlog Kev to see the new Trent building but also to see your good self driving one of the smaller vehicles in the trent fleet delivering all the parts from the broken up vehicles you brought in some weeks ago but a great addition to the vlogs so a few more of these wud be brill to see 😊
So much more organized than what we have here in Canada, we have junk yards with rows and rows of junk cars where you have to hunt down the part you are looking for if they have your vehicle and if no one else has got it before you.
Hi Kev. Trent are certainly moving on fast. Thanks for a glimpse of my old stamping ground, lived 100m from Hendy's in Portsmouth for 22 years, but not seen it for years since we moved to Cyprus. Travel safely.
I remember wandering round trents yard in my youth trying to finds random bits to modify our shitbox escorts and novas. Mad how far its come since then.
Ahhh , I see you back out in the Scania today. Just joining the A34 Northbound at Winchester. I have not been down that way in years, those central reservation works are chaos!!! But good spot for me seeing you!!!
Trent really deserve recognition for this. I think many people still believe spent cars are simply crushed into cubes and turned into washing machines. This should be made into a TV documentary to show how environmentally efficient the end life of vehicles can be. As one who's almost always maintained his own cars over 45 years (and counting) of motoring, it shows how far things have changed from the early days when we used to scramble over piles of precariously placed cars scavenging for parts which were often unavailable new due to a troubled UK car industry. Very well done to Trent and thank you to Kev for making this video.
When i went to scrap yards in 1979 with my dad i had to go in whellys, Oil and mud all over . But i searched every car for pennys and 10p,s then i found enough about £28 to buy a BULL WORKER , And some knackers you banged together .
@1:43mjns Just my opinion, but it would be good to install some kind of drainage system, so that u can spray wash away all the grease on the floor. The entrance/exit to the new facility is still the one as the old facility. I remember the road leading to/from the old yard was pretty cramp with vehicles.
Hi Kev, nice to see something different and that recycling facility that Trent's have is great. it seems like we are both in the recycling business in one way or the other, you collect cars for recycling I collect printers paper and cardboard in the REL and mixed recycling if I am out in the box lorry. have a good weekend
Congratulations to Charles trent for the expansion of the company and your are definitely the right person to showcase this and represent the company 💯 not that I'm bored or don't like your Normal work but it is nice to see you showing us other stuff and would you like to do more of this different work yourself kev or would you rather stick to collecting cars?keep them coming kev🤙👌👍
It was a couple of large things on pallets that I delivered to be used in that new building. Can't recal what it said they were but there were 2 of them.
Oh and Silverlake is on the hgv test routes from Botley test centre. Went past it loads on my lessons in both class 1 and when I done my PCV lessons 4 years ago with Bluestar. You may have seen a By-Pass lorry whilst around them roads
@@KevTee oh definitely Kev Rob always needing parts lol that Vauxhall one car transporter of his is in great Nick for a 2007 isn’t it. He does look after it well mind.
If only they had that door racking system turned 90 degrees in the van, you'd be then able to slide the doors out the side door of the van without needing to move all the poles and other parts out of the way first. I'm guessing its that way for the larger parts like boot hatches?
Yeah it's a bit more difficult when certain items only fit in particular places in the van (doors behind the box). Also loading from 2 locations don't help (door on the pallet in front of gearbox pallet). Ideally the bulkier items would of been delivered first but they wouldn't of been open so had to do the furthest and work my way back. I had a rough idea of the route before loading but because of reasons mentioned above it would of been difficult to load in a different order.
That is some recycling place Trents have down there. Glad to see you are enjoying yourself in the "toy" van, but looking forward to seeing back in the real thing soon.
looks fantastic. i actually went on their website to order an off-side door mirror for a 2008 clc compressor 1800 Mercedes and was surprised they didn't have one. 😒😒
Unfortunately stock is constantly changing, good chance they had sold it and were waiting for another to come in so they could replenish stock levels 👍
Nice to see the facilities, just remember everyone when you renew your vehicle insurance the small print now tends to say use alternative parts… not new as many think.. and that’s why these facilities are cropping up as they usually are funded by insurance companies who are saving a fortune..
Way bigger then that small awkward main building! Had to deliver to Trent a few times and always hated it because of the tight squeeze. had the Opportunity to take a sneak peek of the stock upstairs while i went to the toilet :P
Well done it’s a great update for Trent’s and why can Trents keep the numberplates for spare parts never know people might want number plates for for there vehicles
I learned something last week a bank off batteries for a prius is £1200 ,pounds ,but it will only be one cell that is down the cost is £45 ,00 . slide the cell in all done 45 quid not £1200 .
Nice vid Kev and that's one hell of a new facility, and the dis-assembly line looks well designed for the strippers. How often in the last two years did you have to edit out mentions of it when doing your on the road commentaries? ;-) Also nice to see where the parts from the stripped vehicles go. Cheers from down under.
Bit jealous of the crane, I could do with one of those in my van :) Shame you had help to handball the gearbox off, as otherwise we could have seen you using it...
Brilliant, funny I mentioned salvage rebuild (Rob&Criss) in comment on your last video, aneways would be possible if you could do a delivery to them n next vedio, that would be a laugh 🙂
God I’d love to work there, doing ELV’s one day and delivering parts the next in the van. That’s my idea of heaven. I’m gutted you’re so far away otherwise I’d be asking for an application form 😅
Hi Kevtee nice to see you again have you ever thought about getting a truck like a scania R580 and you nstall an exhaust pipe which would bring more interesting videos rather than cars
Do they deliver with their own vans nationwide our just within a certain radius of the depot? Guessing they would use a 3rd party courier for long distance delivery?
Maybe I missed it but does this mean you will be moving from one yard to the other or will Trent’s be keeping that old yard too as a place to keep the trucks and other cars to be dismantled?
And now you know you don't just have to plan your route, you have to plan your load to match your route, to save having to climb over things to get the one at the other end - under the big heavy one! 🙂
It's impossible to have irems come off in order as items only fit in certain areas and I had to go straight for the furthest as the others wouldn't of been open on arrival 👍
@@KevTee try doing 80 drops in a day from a Hi-cube transit, then! You HAVE to sort your load in order or you end up in a right pickle!- - Glad I'm out of that game - more, more, more - faster, faster! Now all the drivers at that company are self-employed, and have to work 30 hours a day eight days a week to make it pay!
A job I had to do occasionally when I was an apprentice mechanic for Rob Walkers (for those who are old enough to remember them) Three days a week on inter-branch runs from Bournemouth to Warminster, back to Blandford, on to Dorchester and Bridport then back home. One day a week for the London run via Southampton to Wimbledon, Mitcham, Lancia and Alfa Romeo at Ealing and Alperton (can`t remember which was where) then back home via Fiats on the A4 ear Chiswick! No M3 or M27 (the old Wichester by-pass!!!! Aaarrgghhh!) And all done in an Austin J4! One jolly wheeze was the "windscreen box" that was actually used to put the sweepings from the floor in and went to and fro between the two main stores until someone got fed up with it and lumbered one of the smaller garages with it!

Glad you enjoyed, pretty sure there will be more van deliveries to come 🤙
That new workshop is absolutely amazing Kev 😊
Its quite something, glad you enjoyed 🤙

Been watching it get built from the start so nice to see the finished unit getting used ☺️

Enjoyed this!! Fascinating re the size of the depot/s, thanks
What a fantastic company . Good when you really enjoy your work and the people you work with. Stay safe Kev.
Great video, the new stuff at Trent's is amazing. Spotted the Mk2 Black XR2 at your last delivery. I have great memories of owning one of those back in the 90s, a great little car!!
Would love a mk2 xr2 or even a supersport but there silly money 😂
Wow, awesome setup
Nice to see van videos I like this type of video as it shows a different side of Trent’s
This is a great vlog Kev to see the new Trent building but also to see your good self driving one of the smaller vehicles in the trent fleet delivering all the parts from the broken up vehicles you brought in some weeks ago but a great addition to the vlogs so a few more of these wud be brill to see 😊
Cheers mate, really enjoying the van deliveries at the moment as well as other mix of work I'm doing 👍
So much more organized than what we have here in Canada, we have junk yards with rows and rows of junk cars where you have to hunt down the part you are looking for if they have your vehicle and if no one else has got it before you.
Similar to ours up until about 5 years ago lol
Hey, Kevin... Really enjoyed this vlog! Congratulations on your new facility @ Trent Autos & best of luck for the future to you all!! 👍🙂
Hi Kev. Trent are certainly moving on fast. Thanks for a glimpse of my old stamping ground, lived 100m from Hendy's in Portsmouth for 22 years, but not seen it for years since we moved to Cyprus. Travel safely.
Thank you Kev for showing us the New Facilities for Trent's Salvage. I look forward to normal Salvage service resuming!!!🙂🙂
What a fantastic facility taking vehicle recycling to the next level nice one kev definitely be proud to work for trent cheers
That's properly impressive stuff! I love companies like that, looks really interesting!
I remember wandering round trents yard in my youth trying to finds random bits to modify our shitbox escorts and novas. Mad how far its come since then.
Looks amazing. You’re doing Trent a big favour with the advertising!
Yes, nice to see who the parts get out to!
It’s good to see. Yes you bring them in but good that you can save so many parts that can be reused at a fraction of the price.
Looks amazing Kev taking the scrap yard to whole new level 👌🏻
Ahhh , I see you back out in the
Scania today. Just joining the A34 Northbound at Winchester. I have not been down that way in years, those central reservation works are chaos!!! But good spot for me seeing you!!!
What an incredible facility!
Great investment! Kev you are a good PR officer. Free publicity for Trent
Thank you, credit where credit is due and I'm proud to be part of it 🤙
Interesting video.Looks very organised and efficient.
Well-done trents and good luck hope the new venture takes off well

Awesome vlog as always kevtee
Ah you watch Rob and Chris at SRUK as well then Kev. Trents set up looks amazing. Totally different than your back lane scrap yard.
Yeah always enjoyed SRUK, think we should get Rob and Chris over for a tour 😂
@@KevTee oh definitely Kev Rob always needing parts lol that Vauxhall one car transporter of his is in great Nick for a 2007 isn’t it. He does look after it well mind.
The new recycling plant is fantastic! Defiantly worth the 2 year wait

Because the cars are written off,and to stop fraud
Perhaps you should tap up Rob & Chris to let them know the new service offered, you might get to visit and have a coffee.
All I can say amazing. Well done guys.

Loving the change up mate. BTW, don't have to get their signatures or confirmation of delivery?
Curious why the delivery/packing slips all said Invalid, is that so it wasn't put by courier?
Great work by you and the company.
Yes exactly Claire, just a quick sight reference to show its not going by courier 👍
God I’d love to work there, doing ELV’s one day and delivering parts the next in the van. That’s my idea of heaven. I’m gutted you’re so far away otherwise I’d be asking for an application form 😅
Trents have a 5 year plan with many more branches opening so you never know 🤞
Hi kevtee great video mate shame trents haven't got a depot in Staffordshire I would do the van driving I am a parts delivery driver
Hi Kevtee nice to see you again have you ever thought about getting a truck like a scania R580 and you nstall an exhaust pipe which would bring more interesting videos rather than cars
Do they deliver with their own vans nationwide our just within a certain radius of the depot? Guessing they would use a 3rd party courier for long distance delivery?
Kev - apologies if I've missed it, but are you able to tell us something about your electric Renault Master delivery van?
Maybe I missed it but does this mean you will be moving from one yard to the other or will Trent’s be keeping that old yard too as a place to keep the trucks and other cars to be dismantled?
We will be keeping the whole lot, the old yard is going to be completely resurfaced and used for storing the cars and an area for truck parking 👍
I saw you in Crawley I waved and flashed
I take it that the new building is on the site of the one that almost burnt down a few years back?
I saw a Trent's scania on the A50 near Uttoxeter yesterday. A bit out of its way.
Probably running away from their place in Rugby (unless Kev/Lee took a wrong turn).
Yeah as Rob said, would of been running out of the Rugby depot and more likely to be a Volvo in that case 👍
