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 Jarrow?
Collections can start from any driveway, garage or roadside space in Jarrow, including Fellgate, Hedworth, Simonside and Rekendyke. The first thing we do on collection day is check that your vehicle matches the paperwork you submitted. If it does, we will then take it to a nearby authorised treatment facility and make payment via bank transfer.
Upon arrival at the facility, the assessment team will conduct further checks before the environmentally friendly scrapping process begins. Stage one is called depollution, where skilled technicians drain your vehicle of all hazardous materials and fluids in line with environmental standards. Next, all reusable and valuable parts are extracted from your vehicle, before the remaining shell is crushed and shredded on site. At least 85% of your car is recycled and up to 95% is reused.
