Cars for scrap Leigh-on-Sea – how it works

It is very easy to scrap your car with Benfleet Scrap Co. You can drive your vehicle to one of our depots but we understand that this is not always possible as it may not be roadworthy. Therefore, if it cannot be driven, simply get in touch to arrange for one of our dedicated drivers to come and collect your vehicle at a convenient time.

We have four full time drivers that cover the whole of Essex and collect all makes and models of cars and vans. As long as it has wheels and can be loaded onto our lorry, cars for scrap Leigh-on-Sea specialist, Benfleet Scrap Co can safely recover your vehicle on your behalf. 

Please bear in mind that there are a few conditions you will need to be aware of when scrapping your car. Ideally we will require its V5C (log book) and keys although a recent tax reminder or SORN will suffice. For further information, please visit our Scrap A Car FAQs page.

Cars for scrap Leigh-on-Sea – complete or incomplete?

It doesn’t matter what condition your vehicle is in. Has it failed its MOT? Not an issue! A write off? No problem. No longer taxed or insured? Who cares? 

As long as we can get to your car or van to load it onto our recovery vehicle, we can scrap it and pay you the best possible price. Our quotations are based on our own database, as well as up-to-date metal and used car prices. 

What about an incomplete vehicle? If your car has major parts missing, we can still pay good money for it based on weight.

Cars for scrap Leigh-on-Sea – your local ATF

Benfleet Scrap Co is an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), which means that we have a license issued by the Environment Agency that allows us to scrap vehicles. Please note that only ATFs can legally dismantle and recycle cars and vans and we do so in a safe, responsible and environmentally friendly manner. 

Once scrapping has taken place, we can provide you with an official DVLA Certificate of Destruction; only an ATF is able to do so. As such, if you do not scrap your vehicle with an Authorised Treatment Facility, you will not be issued with a CoD, leaving you liable for any tax or traffic penalties incurred, even if the car is no longer in your possession.
