In Longbenton, we have already quoted for and collected more than 54,000 vehicles, learning more about the local area and the issues facing drivers with each one. Regular pressure on the A191 and A188, plus faster stretches along the A1058 Coast Road, add wear and tear to older vehicles, which can be expensive to fix. Brake wear from stop-start traffic and clutch wear on commuter runs are common issues in this area, while tyre and wheel alignment wear often builds up as vehicles keep covering the same local routes.

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.

We received a very competitive quote…
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.

Outstanding service A*****
The process was very straightforward, the vehicle was collected on the day agreed - I received a call when the driver was 30 minutes away. The driver 'Darren' was knowledgeable and a complete professional. All inspections carried out, documents sorted and on his pick up in under 30 minutes. The money was processed to my bank very shortly after. Will definitely recommend and would not hesitate using your company again.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Longbenton?
Collection can take place at any garage, driveway or roadside space in Longbenton, including Benton, Four Lane Ends and Forest Hall. We will arrive at your address at your selected time, confirm that your scrap vehicle matches your submitted paperwork and then take it to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), where the environmentally friendly scrapping process takes place. While we are en route to the facility, payment will be made to you via bank transfer.
Upon arrival at the ATF, a further assessment of your vehicle will take place before the scrapping process begins. Stage one is called depollution and involves skilled technicians draining all hazardous fluids and materials from your vehicle, in line with environmental standards. Next, all reusable and valuable parts are extracted from your car, before the remaining shell is crushed and shredded on site. At least 85% of your car is recycled and up to 95% is reused.

Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
You can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, but conditions apply, and ownership or authority must be shown clearly.
