They do what they say they do. Excellent.
I was contacted well in advance regarding the collection of my vehicle. Steve the driver phoned me and asked if he could collect sooner than booked. This was OK with me. When he arrived he was friendly and courteous and because of the advanced notification, gave me time to have everything ready for the handover. The money was transferred to my account within minutes. A great service and one that I would recommend to anyone wanting to dispose of a vehicle.

Very easy transaction.
Very easy transaction. Easy to book, collection person phoned to say exactly what time they were arriving. I just left him to it and collection took around 10 mins including taking photos of my id and the car. Sad to see my car go as its been a really good car but too much wrong with it now. Payment was not immediate, took around an hour and a half. No fuss, no sweat, very easy.

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 Gravesend?
A member of our team will arrive at your pickup address at the time you request to collect your car. Before they can take your vehicle to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), a few checks are carried out to ensure that the paperwork matches the vehicle. If that is all okay, your car will be taken away while payment via bank transfer is made.
When your car arrives at the AFC, a technician will evaluate the car's condition before the scrapping process begins. The first stage is depollution, whereby hazardous materials and fluids are carefully extracted from your vehicle in accordance with environmental standards. Valuable and reusable parts are then stripped and set to one side before the remaining shell is crushed.
