Quick, easy, great service, decent price.
Organised it to be collected, driver (Tony) was in contact throughout the collection day to keep me posted. 10 minutes and I was paid and he was gone! Great service, Tony was very friendly and efficient. Definitely will use this service again in the future, been with WeBuyAnyCar a few times and for convenience, this blows them out of the water (all circumstantial of course). Couldn’t have asked for more, really helpful.

First class company
There's a very good reason why this company has such a high trust pilot rating, and it's not because of bots or ai fake reviews!! It's nice to leave a good review for a genuinely well run and professional outfit. Firstly , they offer the best price. Secondly , no sucking in of air or false advertising, put in reg, they give you a price, simple.... The pick up driver Shaun was very polite, concise and to the point. From begining to end a good experience, and a well deserved reputation.

Highly recommend - 10/10 service
Whole process was really easy and completely fuss free from start to finish. Entered my postcode and registration online and was given a price straight away without having to sign up to anything. The price offered was better than anywhere else. Selected a date and time that suited me for collection and booked in a matter of minutes. Really clear information was given about the collection process via email. Collection day arrived and the guy who came was really friendly. Quick check of the car, loaded onto the truck and received the money within minutes. I would highly recommend this company as it was so easy, no hidden terms and conditions and an all round great experience.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Harlow?
When we arrive to collect your scrap vehicle, a member of the team will perform a quick assessment of your car to check that it matches the paperwork you have provided. After that, your vehicle will be towed away using specialist equipment and taken to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). At the same time, we will pay you via bank transfer to your chosen account.
Upon arrival at the ATF, skilled technicians will evaluate your vehicle to check what work can be done. The first stage is usually depollution, where all hazardous materials and fluids are drained in accordance with environmental standards. Following that, all reusable and valuable parts, such as the catalytic converter, are carefully extracted and set to one side before the shell is put forward for crushing.
