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.

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 recommended !!
Car.co.uk offered the best price by far out of all the sites I had got quotes from. The whole process was really easy to arrange and sort out a collection. I had a few enquiries and the different guys that I spoke to at customer enquiries was really friendly and helpful. I asked for an early/ first pick up and was told they would do their best. The night before I received a text asking if a 6:30am pick up would be possible. I agreed. Earlier the better for me. The morning of the pick up I had a call from the driver (John) who informed me he wasn’t far and sure enough he arrived on the agreed time. When he arrived he was so helpful and really friendly. The car was on the back of the lorry and paperwork sorted all within 15 mins. Can’t recommend these guys enough and I would definitely use 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.
