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.

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 Hastings?
When we arrive to collect your scrap vehicle, a member of our team will carry out some standard checks to ensure that the paperwork matches the vehicle. Once this has been cleared, we will tow your car to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) for scrapping. At this point, we will pay you via bank transfer.
Upon arrival at the ATF, a skilled technician will evaluate your vehicle further to guide the scrapping and responsible recycling process. The first step is usually depollution, whereby your vehicle is drained of all hazardous materials and fluids, in accordance with environmental standards. Following that, all valuable and reusable parts are extracted from the vehicle and set aside before the remaining shell is crushed.
