Our Story — Two Decades of Honest Car Scrapping
Aslam Salim Motorwala is a family-run authorised car scrap business that started in Mumbai in 2005. What began as a small dismantling unit has grown into one of the most trusted names in the Mumbai-MMR-Pune scrap industry — built on a single principle that has not changed in 20 years: the price we quote on call is the price you get on pickup.
When our founder, Aslam Salim, started the business, the Mumbai scrap market was dominated by unorganised dealers — opaque pricing, paperwork shortcuts, no chassis cutting, and customers often left with vehicles still legally registered in their names months after sale. We built our company to be the opposite of that. Every transaction is documented, every chassis number plate is cut in front of the seller, every payment is made before the car is loaded onto our truck.
Over two decades we have processed more than 15,000 cars — old end-of-life vehicles from Mumbai societies, accidental write-offs from highway crashes, dead cars from Thane and Navi Mumbai parking lots, fleet vehicles from Pune's industrial belts, and luxury cars from owners moving abroad. The customer base has grown from local Mumbai residents to corporate clients, insurance companies and even neighbouring city referrals.
We are proudly listed as an authorised scrap car dealer aligned with the National Vehicle Scrappage Policy 2021 framework, and follow every guideline issued by the Maharashtra Transport Department and Maharashtra Pollution Control Board.
Our Mission
To make car scrapping in Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai and Pune as transparent, fair and convenient as it should be — without middleman commissions, hidden deductions or paperwork shortcuts. Every car we process is one less unsafe vehicle on Maharashtra roads, and one more piece of metal recycled responsibly.

What We Stand For — Our Core Values
These six principles are non-negotiable in every transaction we do, regardless of whether the car is worth ₹15,000 or ₹2,00,000:
| Value | What It Means in Practice |
|---|---|
| Transparent Pricing | Every quote we give on call is the final amount you receive on pickup. No "rust deductions" or "low weight" surprises at the last minute. |
| Payment Before Pickup | Money is in your account before the towing truck moves. We never reverse this for any customer, regardless of car value. |
| Mandatory Chassis Cutting | The chassis number plate is cut in front of you and handed over. This single step protects you from any future legal liability — non-negotiable in our process. |
| RTO Compliance | Form 28/29/30 filed at the relevant RTO, NOC arranged where required, Certificate of Deposit issued for every scrapped vehicle. |
| Eco-Friendly Recycling | Engine oil, coolant, AC gas, batteries — all hazardous fluids drained and disposed as per Maharashtra Pollution Control Board norms. |
| No Middlemen | We own our dismantling yard. No agents, no sub-contractors, no commission cuts between you and your money. |

Why Responsible Car Scrapping Matters
An old car is not just metal — it contains hazardous fluids (engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, AC gas), heavy metals (lead in batteries), recyclable materials (steel, aluminium, copper) and reusable spare parts that have ongoing market value. Sending a car to an unorganised scrap dealer leads to several real problems:
- Unsafe disposal of fluids contaminating soil and groundwater across MMR landfills.
- Vehicles never deregistered from the original owner's name — leaving you legally exposed for years.
- Chassis numbers reused to clone or rebadge stolen vehicles.
- Cash-only undocumented transactions with no protection if the cheque later bounces.
Choosing an authorised dealer like us means each of these risks is eliminated. Your car's metal goes to verified recycling units, fluids are disposed under MPCB norms, and your name is permanently cleared from the RTO database within 2-4 weeks via the Certificate of Deposit.
