Our green car parts can help reduce plastic waste

We’re committing to use green car parts 

Everyone needs to do their part for the planet. We’ve decided to take a much ‘greener’ approach to car repairs, one that’s far more environmentally friendly.  

What are green car parts?

Green car parts are parts taken from one vehicle to fix another – quality-checked, and guaranteed to reduce the amount of plastic, metal and glass needed for repairs. Using green parts can also mean customers’ cars are fixed and back on the road quicker. It’s often faster to source a green car part than order a brand-new component, especially if it needs importing. 

Who supplies our green parts?

We’ve appointed Hills Salvage as our salvage operations supplier and its green parts arm, The Green Parts Specialists, as our green parts provider. The Green Parts Specialists remove car parts that could have a second life; creating a huge database of parts that are available. When an Ageas approved repairer needs components, they simply log onto an app or web portal and will find out within an hour if a green part is in stock. 

Hills and The Green Parts Specialists work in partnership, which means any parts from Ageas’ salvaged vehicles can also now feed back into our repair network as ‘green’ car parts. In 2021 we used nearly 9,000 green parts in repairs. 

All in all, this is good news for customers and great news for the environment.
