They do what they say they do. Excellent.
I was contacted well in advance regarding the collection of my vehicle. Steve the driver phoned me and asked if he could collect sooner than booked. This was OK with me. When he arrived he was friendly and courteous and because of the advanced notification, gave me time to have everything ready for the handover. The money was transferred to my account within minutes. A great service and one that I would recommend to anyone wanting to dispose of a vehicle.

They arranged collection at a time that suited me, and the driver was polite and efficient.

Quick and Convenient Vehicle Scrappage
This was a quick and easy way to scrap our old vehicle. The online evaluation check was useful and produced a similar price to what we expected. It only took a few moments to book a collection date and time, and this was confirmed via text and email. On collection day I was texted further confirmation and called by the driver to inform of his eta. The driver was informative and professional. The purchase was accepted and the payment okayed, with the money transferred immediately. Overall, and great service and would recommend.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Gateshead?
When our driver arrives, they will check the paperwork you provided and confirm it matches the vehicle's condition. If that is all okay, they will swiftly load your car and take it to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) for scrapping. While your car is in transit, payment is made via bank transfer to your chosen account.
When your vehicle arrives at the ATF, the assessment team will undergo further checks before starting the scrapping process. If your car is given the all-clear, depollution begins, during which your vehicle is stripped of all hazardous materials and fluids in accordance with environmental standards. The next step is to remove all reusable and valuable parts, all of which are set aside safely, before the remaining shell is crushed.
