Excellent service from start to finish
Excellent service from start to finish. Selected the exact day I wanted the vehicle picking up. Had a message on day of collection saying the drivers name and that he was on his way. Within no time he was here and very friendly and professional. Car was loaded and within 2 minutes of paperwork completed the money was in my account.

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. I would highly recommend this company as it was so easy, no hidden terms and conditions and an all round great experience.

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.
⏤ Julie Jobson
Easy to contact by phone
Easy to contact by phone. All the staff I spoke to were polite and helpful. All arrangements were confirmed in writing and timescales were kept to. The collection went well, he kept me informed and was very . professionalRidiculous as it may seem I was sad to scrap my car but they made it a painless experience.
⏤ Jonathan Eccles
Quick, easy, great service, decent price.
Organised it to be collected, driver (Tony) was in contact throughout the collection day to keep me posted. 10 minutes and I was paid and he was gone! Great service, Tony was very friendly and efficient. Definitely will use this service again in the future, been with WeBuyAnyCar a few times and for convenience, this blows them out of the water (all circumstantial of course). Couldn’t have asked for more, really helpful.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Gillingham?
Once the car has been collected and taken away from your designated collection spot, you will receive payment via bank transfer before the scrapping process begins. After being collected, the driver will take the vehicle to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), where, on arrival, the vehicle's paperwork will be thoroughly checked.
Once those checks are completed, specialist technicians will depollute the car as per environmental standards. This process involves dismantling the car and storing all reusable parts, such as valuable catalytic converters in a safe place. At least 85% of every scrap vehicle in Gillingham is recycled, and up to 95% is reused, with any remaining metals crushed and shredded on site.

Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?

The only way you can scrap a car with outstanding finance is to get written permission from your lender. Failing that, you must pay off all outstanding finance before attempting to scrap your vehicle.
How does scrap car payment work?
Payment is made by bank transfer, not cash, as per the terms detailed in the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. The price you are quoted is the price paid on collection with no last-minute reductions, and funds are sent directly to your account once the handover has been completed.
Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
You can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name in Gillingham, but conditions apply. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible, or you will need to show a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance, or deceased estate, with proof of identity and supporting paperwork like a will, gift letter, or statutory declaration, often required.
