Great service
I recently had my old car collected and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, everything was handled smoothly and I was kept informed throughout the whole process. The driver, Roy, was excellent – really friendly, professional, and informative, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. The payment was transferred instantly upon collection, which was a huge plus. Overall, a fantastic service and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to scrap their car.

We received a very competitive quote from Car.co.uk for my car and from the start they were very efficient with their quote which was easy to understand. After accepting their quote they kept me fully informed of the procedure and made it clear and simple. We agreed a collection date and they arrived on time with two polite and helpful driver and assistant and they loaded my car and left very quickly. The agreed price was paid by Car.co.uk and the money was in my Bank before the driver left. I would highly recommend this Company.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Long Eaton?
When we arrive to collect your car in Long Eaton, the first thing we do is conduct some basic checks to ensure the paperwork matches the vehicle's true condition. Once this has been approved, we will tow your car away and head to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), while also making payment via bank transfer.
Upon arrival at the ATF, a team of professionals will carry out further checks and evaluate your vehicle before the scrapping process begins. The first stage of this process is called depollution, where technicians drain your vehicle of all hazardous fluids, in accordance with environmental standards. Next, skilled teams dismantle the car and strip it of all reusable and valuable parts, including the catalytic converter.
