About ASM Auto Recycling

Founded in 1964, ASM Auto Recycling is now one of the UK's leading vehicle recycling and salvage businesses. From its headquarters in Thame, Oxfordshire, the company handles vehicle recycling, salvage management, vehicle collection, and parts distribution for customers across the country.

Behind all of that is a large and highly specialised fleet that includes 8-car, 4-car and 2-car transporters, street lifters, slidebed recovery vehicles, motorcycle transporters, and support vans. These vehicles are out on busy roads every day, collecting and moving vehicles up and down the country. For an operation like this, safety, compliance, and fleet visibility all matter, and ASM has worked with Sentinel Systems for more than a decade to help with exactly that.

The Partnership

As the business has grown and its needs have changed, ASM has kept investing in systems that protect drivers, vulnerable road users, and everyone else on the road, while staying on top of compliance and fleet visibility. Throughout that time, Sentinel has been a flexible partner, helping ASM roll out safety technology across a real mix of vehicle types without losing consistency.

Today, Sentinel systems are fitted to transporters, recovery vehicles, and support vehicles right across the fleet. That includes PSS-compliant DVS systems with side scan sensors, AI cameras, moving-off information systems, left-turn warnings, and reverse camera technology.

ASM also runs Sentinel's Fleet View DVR technology, which gives them vehicle tracking and live video access across the fleet in an all-in-one telematics platform. Managers can monitor what's happening in real time and pull footage whenever they need it, as well as set up custom notifications relevant to the fleet, a single vehicle, or a particular customer. And because Sentinel can retrofit systems across so many different vehicle types, ASM has been able to keep its varied fleet up to date with the latest technology.

"The systems are dependable, the support's there when we need it, and dealing with Sentinel has always been straightforward. We've built a genuine partnership over the years, and that's why they're still our first call."
