Working closely with our customers and the huge range of offerings, we strive to provide an unparalleled experience to all visitors to our web portal. Our dedication goes a long way in connecting buyers and sellers of damaged vehicles: damaged cars, damaged motorbikes, damaged caravans and even damaged motorhomes.
We understand at Schadeautos.nl that every damaged vehicle and part has a story and a potential for a new beginning. That is why we have created a seamless link with dismantled cars, motorbikes, caravans, campers and boats. This allows you as a customer to quickly and efficiently find the parts you need on our platform. Whether it is a complete front head, an engine with or without gearbox or even a set of leather interiors, our affiliated, certified dismantling companies that advertise their products on our platform are ready to provide you!
Schadeautos.nl is more than an e-commerce platform. It is a nexus of like-minded, quality businesses offering damaged cars, used car parts and used cars. We believe in a business driven by strong principles and collaborations. To give you a clearer picture of who we are and what drives us, we have put together a series of informative sections.

What is the core mission of Schadeautos.nl?
At Schadeautos.nl, our core mission lies in giving damaged vehicles a second life. We do this in an economically and ecologically responsible way. We facilitate a platform where users (buyers) can easily connect with certified dealers (sellers/dealers) throughout Europe. Our aim is to play a key role in the circular economy by transforming damaged vehicles and dismantled cars into valuable resources for repair and reuse.
What does Schadeautos.nl want to achieve in the damaged cars and used parts market?
Our ambition is to give any vehicle with (minor) damage, in need of a repair or in need of a 'new' part, a new chance. Dismantled cars (vehicles declared technically totaled) are an essential source of parts for these repairs and replacements. By actively contributing to the circular economy, we aim to significantly increase our influence and contribution in this sector with the aim of giving it the attention it deserves.
What is the future of Schadeautos.nl and what role will we play in the industry?
With over 25 years of experience and a supply mainly from the Netherlands and Belgium, we see growing demand from all over Europe. Our future vision is to expand our services to more international dealers, while maintaining our strict selection criteria. Our specialism enables us to play a larger and more responsible role in supporting insurers in managing their claims streams.
What values and principles guide Schadeautos.nl?
Reliability, customer focus, quality and sustainability are the cornerstones of our business philosophy. We only work with reputable companies that meet our high standards. We know each of our customers personally and we enforce a strict policy whereby companies that do not meet our standards are not admitted or are removed from our site. This self-regulatory approach ensures that everyone is aware of our high quality standards.
What does the partnership with hundreds of reputable car companies mean for the quality and reliability of the supply on the platform?
Our collaborations with only certified partners (advertisers/dealers) affiliated to various independent industry organisations, such as STIBA, VSV, VBV and ARN, reinforce our vision and quality assurance. These organisations provide essential knowledge and support to the companies, which contributes to the overall quality and reliability of the supply on the platform.
To what extent does Schadeautos.nl contribute to the environment?
Our contribution to the environment is significant. We ensure that vehicles with (minor) damage can safely return to the road and, in cooperation with our customers, offer used car parts from damaged cars. This not only helps reduce repair costs, but also avoids the CO2 emissions associated with the production of new parts.
How does Schadeautos.nl guarantee the safety and quality of the second-hand parts offered?
Unlike other sites where anyone can advertise second-hand offerings, we put two things first: (1) the quality of the seller and (2) the safety of the buyer/end user. Violators of our rules are permanently excluded from putting products on our platform. We carry out thorough checks, including desk research, background checks and personal company visits. Our strict selection criteria and personal approach guarantee that customers can buy their products safely and reliably on Schadeautos.nl.
What are the benefits of having multiple related websites, such as TotalParts.nl?
Our various websites serve different customer groups, while also having similarities in offerings. Schadeautos.nl focuses on the sale of complete damaged vehicles, while TotalParts, for example, targets independent garages and brand dealers looking for parts. Our extensive stock and fast delivery ensure that both customer groups can efficiently find what they need.
If I offer my parts on Schadeautos.nl, will they also be shown on TotalParts.nl and other related websites?
Absolutely, and we go even further than that. At Schadeautos.nl, we aim to actively contribute to the circular economy and support our customers in the best possible way. That is why, through our innovative "ConnectionManager" service, we offer the possibility to place your supply on a wide range of e-commerce platforms, not only in your country, but also internationally. This initiative is designed to help our customers expand their reach and increase sales. Through this extended visibility, our clients tend to benefit from a larger and more diverse audience, which contributes to the success of their business.
