Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 9:50 AM 2 min read

British Car Auctions (BCA) said it has finished a major investment project at its facility in Livingston, Scotland, to enhance efficiency, safety measures, and the overall customer experience.

The improvements made at the Livingston site are aimed at streamlining processes, which have resulted in shorter processing times and increased capacity.

They have also elevated safety standards for employees and site visitors, said the BCA.

These advancements are part of BCA's ongoing development within its Scottish operations, which has seen an uptick in activity over the last year and a half.

One of the key features of the site's redevelopment is the implementation of the AutosOnShow Fast Flow image solution, which generates 8K images of vehicles for use in online listings.

These images can also be employed by buyers for retail website presentations.

The Livingston site now includes a complete workshop that is equipped to handle both cosmetic and mechanical refurbishments, which can be integrated with BCA's existing automated systems.

A new click-and-collect service has been introduced to expedite vehicle collection, thereby reducing wait times and improving service efficiency.

BCA UK chief operating officer Stuart Pearson said: “With four strategically located centres within Scotland and BCA’s unrivalled logistics capabilities, we are uniquely positioned to provide seamless remarketing solutions across the region and into the north of England.

“Our investment in the Scottish network comes as a result of rising customer demand and focuses on supporting the delivery of exceptional customer service for both sellers and buyers. This redevelopment will help us drive greater efficiency, safety, and consistency across every stage of the remarketing process.”

BCA reported an increase in the average light commercial vehicle (LCV) value at auction to £7,892 ($10,768) in August 2025, which is a £955 increase from the previous year.

The market also saw a rise in performance against guide price expectations, moving up by two percentage points to 107.6%.
