What SkyRoute Auto does, what the approved centre signs

SkyRoute Auto is an independent operator at 74 bis Route d’Étrembières, 74100 Annemasse . For ELV collection of a French vehicle we check the file before leaving, load the vehicle, and deliver it to an approved ELV centre you name. You appoint us. We confirm a quote first.

The certificate of destruction is issued by the approved centre, not by SkyRoute Auto. We are not an assistance network, not a cash buyer, not a scrapyard. Local transport from €219 incl. tax (weekday, easy access; range −€20 to +€20, August 2026).

Call 06 82 96 40 84 or the quote form. On a motorway, SOS or 112 first if the vehicle is still on the carriageway.

Standard file: private keeper, French registration

This is the priority case. Missing an original: the centre may refuse. Prepare: original registration document; ID of the keeper and all co-keepers; Cerfa 15776 transfer for destruction, dated and signed; administrative status certificate (no lien / no objection) less than 15 days old.

A photocopy of the registration document is often not enough. Every co-keeper signs or issues a mandate. Cerfa 15776 is not a private sale: it records the transfer for destruction.

The administrative status certificate is requested on the official online service. After 15 days it expires. An objection (theft, seizure, fine) blocks destruction until lifted.

Lien, mandate, lost document, probate, company

Loan or lease: destruction usually waits for a lien release . We can move the car to a garage or depot meanwhile.

If you are not the keeper: written mandate plus IDs. Lost or stolen registration document: declaration then duplicate. Probate: notarised documents and IDs of heirs entitled to sign. Company: Kbis, representative ID, power of attorney, plus the same vehicle papers.

Accident, motorway, foreign plates

After a crash, transport may come before the decision to destroy. Until the assessor clears it, destination is a garage or depot, not an ELV centre.

Still on a motorway: approved recovery first. Swiss or foreign plates: we transport; French ELV is not automatic. We do not promise a French certificate of destruction.

How collection works in the Genevois

Photos, access, papers already in hand. We confirm whether the file allows a run to an approved centre or only storage transport. Night +25%, weekend +15%. Keep the certificate of destruction once the centre has issued it.
