Silverlake was established in 1946 and to this day remains under the management of Allen Prebble, son of the founder, Norman Prebble. The company has expanded significantly in recent years with the introduction of a Silverlake retail unit in Southampton, continuous investment at the main 10 acre site in Shedfield, Hampshire, the launch of Silverlake.co.uk online store, self-service autoparts facility - U-Pick-It and a scheme to support charitable causes - U-Donate-A-Car.

The Silverlake group of companies offer a wide range of services, from we-buy-any-car vehicle recovery, daily breakers and auctions, salvage and recycled car parts through to full environmentally friendly recycling of End of Life Vehicles (ELV) at our Authorised Treatment Facility in Hampshire.
