It doesn’t matter if your vehicle is lacking a valid MOT or has been completely written-off, our unique algorithm is designed to value your car based on its components, ensuring you always get the best price. And since Watford is known for its heavy, stop-start traffic, wear and tear is pretty much expected for vehicles in the area. In fact, many of the cars we’ve accepted locally have experienced issues with worn tyres and corroded body work, often caused by frequent braking on congested and poorly-maintained roads. But that hasn’t deterred us from offering a fair valuation.

Yes, but only in the event your car has been completely destroyed. A Certificate of Destruction is a legal document that must be processed and supplied by your chosen ATF within seven days of disposal. It’s used to tell the DVLA that the car no longer exists and you are no longer liable for it, which is why it’s such an important document.

They regularly check that each recycler has a valid scrap metal license and practices responsible car disposal in line with the Scrap Metal Dealer’s Act and End-of-Life Vehicles regulations.
Once our drivers have collected your car, you’ll receive instant payment through our secure bank transfer system. Your car will then be taken to a car breaker yard in Watford where it will be evaluated by expert recyclers.
If your car is only slightly damaged, the car breakers may decide to fix it and then resell it once it’s roadworthy again. However, more often than not, they will salvage the usable parts and destroy what’s left. If your vehicle is beyond salvaging, then it will likely be destroyed.
