CARS is for you

CARS is about Complete Auto Recycling and Secondary Metals - from the point a vehicle is either damaged or reaches the end of it's life, right through to the processing of secondary and waste materials.

CARS is the biggest event in Europe for automotive recyclers and material processors and comes to Liverpool, England in June 2012.


CARS is much more than a trade show, it's a 3 day event which includes trade stands, seminars, training programmes and site visits, all with a social twist. Included in your registration is all your food and drink, entertainment in the evening and transport back to the hotel when the day is done.

CARS in conjunction with IRT

The International Roundtable on Auto Recycling will take place during the CARS event. IRT is held in a different world location every two years and attracts many of the top auto recyclers from USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Asia and Europe. This is an added bonus for CARS visitors who will benefit from the knowledge of auto recyclers from around the globe.

Why should I attend?

If you're involved in auto recycling or secondary metals and materials processing, then keeping on top of the job is essential if your business is to grow and prosper.

So where and when is CARS?

CARS takes place over 3 days, June 14-16, 2012. CARS is a yard based event which means you actually see things working. The location for CARS 2012 is Hills Motors, one of Europe's leading auto recyclers based near Liverpool in the North West of England.


Famous for the Beatles, Liverpool was recently the European City of Culture so well worth a visit in its own right. Liverpool is well served for air, rail and road transport.
