If you're calling a recovery service every week rather than every year, you need more than a one-off callout — you need a partner. SRL Recovery sets up trade accounts for garages, dealerships, auction houses, and fleet operators across Glasgow, with agreed rates, priority dispatch, and invoicing that doesn't waste your admin time.
How a trade account works
Give us a call and tell us roughly how much volume you expect — a garage needing the odd customer car brought in, or a dealership moving stock weekly, are very different accounts. We'll agree a rate card up front so there's no re-quoting every single job, and set up simple monthly invoicing rather than payment on the day.
Trade jobs get priority dispatch during the day, and a direct line to call rather than going through the general enquiry process — you tell us the collection and drop-off, we get on with it.
Who uses a trade account
Independent garages needing customer vehicles brought in for MOT or repair. Dealerships moving part-exchanges and stock between sites, or collecting from auction. Insurance and claims companies needing a reliable recovery partner. Fleet and van-hire operators covering multiple vehicles. Bodyshops needing accident-damaged cars delivered for repair.
Whatever the volume, we scale to it — from a handful of jobs a month to a standing daily arrangement.
Trade rates are agreed per account based on volume and typical job type — usually a discount against our standard £50 + £1.50/mile local rate. Get in touch to discuss terms.

Common questions
Is there a minimum volume to set up a trade account?
No — we set up accounts for garages doing one job a month right through to dealerships needing daily collections. Call us and we'll tailor it to what you need.
How does invoicing work for trade customers?
Most trade accounts are billed monthly rather than paid per job, which keeps your admin simple. We'll agree the specifics — invoice frequency, payment terms — when the account is set up.
Can insurance companies and bodyshops set up an account?
Yes — we regularly work with claims handlers and bodyshops needing accident-damaged vehicles collected and delivered. A trade account keeps that process quick and consistent.
