Immediate Release – 8th May 2025
Imlachs Call Time – Notice of Closure – Retirement from the Industry
After an incredible 45 years in auto recycling, it is with mixed emotions that we announce the forthcoming closure of Imlachs Self-Serve Auto Parts.
We want to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to our staff, customers, suppliers, colleagues, family and friends, who have supported us throughout our journey in the developing recycling industry. Your loyalty and commitment have been a key part of our success in providing a seven day a week service in the industry.
An orderly wind down of our business will occur in three phases: final sale of used parts and vehicle inventory, property clean up, and sale of surplus plant and equipment.
Key Dates
Vehicle Salvage Valuations close 9th May 2025 5.00 pm
We will honour all vehicle salvage valuations issued on or prior to this date on a strict 14-day basis in accordance with our existing Terms and Conditions.
Vehicle Salvage Receivals close 23rd May 2025 5.00 pm
Sale of Used Part & Vehicles close 7th June 2025 4.00pm
We request the small number of customers presently holding credit vouchers to use these vouchers on or before our closure date whilst parts inventory is available for purchase.
We wish to emphasize this decision has been made for operational reasons and is not due to insolvency or bankruptcy. Some of our staff will be retiring, other staff will be actively supported in finding new employment opportunities by Imlachs. All entitlements payable to our staff at the end of their employment with Imlachs will be paid out in accordance with relevant workplace laws.
It has truly been a privilege to be part of and serve the community and automotive industry throughout the last 45 years.

Managing Director
