What we take

Scrap, accident and MOT-fail vehicles collected

From tired non-runners to written-off vehicles, we collect properly, quote clearly and keep the paperwork tidy.

If a vehicle has reached the end of its useful life, the chances are we can take it off your hands. We collect the full range of end-of-life cars and vans across Sussex and Surrey, including:

  • End-of-life vehicles (ELVs), old cars and vans that are no longer economical to repair or keep on the road.
  • Accident-damaged vehicles, written off by an insurer or uneconomical to fix after a prang.
  • MOT failures, cars that have failed their test and would cost more to repair than they’re worth.
  • Unwanted and abandoned cars, a vehicle that’s been sitting unused and you want gone from your drive or yard.
  • Vans and light commercials, end-of-life vans collected alongside cars.
  • Non-runners, it doesn’t need to start, steer or roll for us to collect it.

Whatever state the vehicle is in, give the team a call on 07879 044665 and describe it. We’ll tell you what it’s worth and arrange collection.

End-of-life cars

Old, tired or uneconomical, collected and processed to the correct standard, with paperwork done properly.

Accident damage

Written off or uneconomical to repair after a collision, we take it off your hands and handle the disposal.

MOT failures

Failed its test and not worth the repair bill? Turn it into cash instead of letting it sit there depreciating.

Vans and non-runners

Light commercials and dead vehicles collected too, no need for it to run, steer or even have a current MOT.

Questions

Scrap and salvage, answered

Do you collect for free?

Yes. We collect end-of-life and salvage vehicles free of charge across our Sussex and Surrey coverage area, you don’t pay us to take it away. Call us on 07879 044665 to arrange a collection time that suits you.

What paperwork do I need?

The main thing we need is the vehicle’s V5C logbook so the change of ownership can be processed correctly. If you have the keys to hand, that helps too. When you call, we will run through exactly what’s needed for your vehicle so there are no surprises on collection day.

How much is my scrap car worth?

It depends on the make, model, age, weight and condition of the vehicle, and whether any reusable parts can be salvaged. The fairest way to find out is to ring us with the details, we’ll give you an honest valuation up front, and the figure you’re quoted is the figure you’re paid on collection.

Do I get a DVLA certificate?

The DVLA paperwork is handled properly so the vehicle is taken off your name and you are no longer liable for it, no lingering road tax or future charges. When you call, we will explain exactly how the notification is processed so you know you’re covered.
