Here’s a quick look at some of the most commonly asked questions fired our way, just to clarify a few important details for new customers:

1 – What Exactly Do You Do?

In short, we’re in the vehicle recycling business. As a crucial link in the recycling chain, it’s our job to come out to you no matter where you might be and take your car away in order to process it ready for recycling. We take the car, strip it of what can be used, separate all of the materials and get it shredded or crushed down ready for the recycling plant. With over a million cars a year heading to the scrap yard in the UK alone, you could say we keep rather busy!  your-car-scrapping-questions-answered

2 – Why Should I Come to You?

There are plenty of car scrapping services up and down the UK today, but we don’t believe you’ll find a better overall service package than the one we’re offering. The reason being that we make everything as easy as possible, making sure we do the hard work so you don’t have to. We’ll come to you no matter where you are, we’ll take the car away for free and we’ll even make sure the paperwork is done. And if that wasn’t enough on its own, we’ll even make sure you’re left with a small reward just to say thanks for coming to us.

3 – How Much is My Scrap Car Worth?

This is impossible for us to say without you actually letting us know the exact make and model of the car you’re looking to get rid of. We’re not in the habit of promising huge cash sums like some of our rivals…doing so is actually in contravention to UK law. However, in terms of a fair reward for doing the right thing, we guarantee that you will not get a better deal for your old car anywhere in the UK. We won’t make you rich, but we’ll for sure make you happy you came to us.

4 – What About Cars That Are Literally Falling Apart?

If you come to us, it really doesn’t matter if your car is falling to pieces and hasn’t seen a real public road for decades. Unlike some, we’re not in the business of patching cars up and selling them on – all we’re bothered about is taking out the materials that can be recycled and making sure they’re put back to good use. So really, it doesn’t matter how many pieces it’s in…we’ll take it!

5 – What Might My Car Be Recycled Into?

In terms of your car’s second life, steel gets recycled into new steel sheets or blanks which can be used to make literally anything in the world that’s made of steel. As such, you might well cross paths with your car again in the form of anything from a kitchen appliance to another car…you just never know!
