How it works
What happens to every car and every part.
The full process, from the moment a vehicle arrives to the moment a part is sold and its paperwork is filed.
A worked example. Every identifier below is the shape ELVPro actually stores.
Step 1 · Intake
The vehicle is logged once.
One record holds the VIN and every detail that follows from it.
- Donor
- VW Golf VII 2.0 TDI · 2016
- VIN
- WVWZZZAUZGW152431
- Date received
- 14 Feb 2026
Step 2 · Depollution
Fluids and hazardous parts are recorded as they come out.
Each stage is timestamped, so the depollution log fills itself in as you work.
- Fluids drained
- Yes · 09:14
- Battery removed
- Yes · 09:21
- Airbags disarmed
- Yes · 09:35
Step 3 · Parts
Each part gets its own record.
Linked to the VIN it came from, with the OEM code and where it sits on your shelf.
- Part
- Alternator · 140 A
- OEM
- 06J903023
- Shelf
- A · 04 · R2 · S3 · B11
- Condition
- Good · tested
Step 4 · Pricing
Set a price once.
It appears in your shop automatically, at the price you set.
Step 5 · Storefront
Customers buy from your own branded website.
On your domain, with your name on it. Not a shared marketplace listing.
Step 6 · Sale & paperwork
When a part sells, the paperwork is already there.
The certificate of destruction and the depollution report are built from the records you entered as you worked.
