Buying Genuine OEM Recycled Parts with Confidence

At Charles Trent, we're committed to giving customers complete confidence when purchasing genuine OEM recycled vehicle parts.

Every year, thousands of motorists choose recycled parts as a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to buying new. But understandably, many customers want reassurance that the parts they purchase meet high standards for quality, safety and traceability.

That's why we have invested heavily in facilities, processes and technology designed to support every part throughout its lifecycle.

Genuine Parts from Genuine Vehicles

Unlike aftermarket alternatives, our parts are genuine OEM components that were originally fitted by the vehicle manufacturer.

Every part we dismantle comes from a real vehicle that has been carefully processed through our industry-leading vehicle recycling operation. Components are identified, catalogued and photographed before being made available for sale online.

This allows customers to purchase genuine manufacturer parts, often at a significant saving compared to buying new.

Quality Standards Matter

Charles Trent is far more than a traditional scrapyard.

Our purpose-built facilities and reverse production processes are designed to recover, inspect and store vehicle parts efficiently and responsibly. We process over 100 vehicles every day, with thousands of parts added to stock each week.

By combining experienced teams with modern inventory systems, we help ensure customers receive the right part, accurately described and ready for dispatch.

How We Handle Manufacturer Recalls

Safety is a key priority when supplying vehicle parts.

Every part we stock is checked against manufacturer recall data. If a part is identified as being subject to a manufacturer recall, it is removed from stock immediately and cannot be sold.

This means customers can be confident they are not purchasing parts that have been recalled by the manufacturer.

As genuine OEM components, our parts also remain covered by manufacturer recall procedures should a recall be announced in the future. In the event that action is required after purchase, customers continue to benefit from the same manufacturer support and recall processes that would apply to a new genuine part.

Supporting Customers After Purchase

Buying a recycled part shouldn't mean compromising on support.

Our customer service team is available to assist with product enquiries, and parts are supplied with warranty protection for additional peace of mind.

Combined with our recall monitoring processes, this helps ensure customers can continue to purchase genuine recycled parts with confidence.

Quality, Value and Sustainability

Choosing a genuine OEM recycled part can deliver three important benefits:

  • Significant cost savings compared to buying new
  • Genuine manufacturer quality and compatibility
  • Reduced environmental impact by extending the life of existing vehicle components

For many customers, it's a smarter way to repair and maintain their vehicle without compromising on quality.

Why Choose Charles Trent?

For 100 years, Charles Trent has been helping motorists find quality vehicle parts at affordable prices.

Today, our world-class vehicle recycling facilities, experienced teams and robust quality processes help ensure customers can buy genuine OEM recycled parts with confidence, knowing they are purchasing from one of the UK's most established names in vehicle recycling.
