When we collect your vehicle or when you drop it off to us, we will pay you same day
Do you have an old car that is no longer roadworthy that you want to sell?
Having been a leading name in scrap and recycling for more than 40 years, Benfleet Scrap Co is your first choice for cars for scrap Chelmsford. We have a number of depots across Essex and four full time drivers recovering vehicles on behalf of our customers.
We always pay the best possible prices for scrap vehicles. You are very welcome to drive your car to one of our depots; however, if your vehicle is no longer roadworthy or no longer has an MOT, simply get in contact to arrange for our dedicated drivers to collect it from your property.
It makes no difference to us what condition your car is in. Is it a write-off? Not a problem. Failed its MOT? We don’t care! Literally rotting on the drive or in a garage? So what? As long as we can load it onto our recovery vehicle, we can scrap it for you!
Even if it’s missing major parts, we can still scrap for cash; however, please be aware that the price will be based on weight only.
There are a few conditions you need to bear in mind when it comes to legally scrapping your car. Ideally we require your vehicle’s V5C (log book) and keys. However, if you do not have access to one of these, the other and a recent tax reminder or SORN will suffice. Please note that if you do not have either the car’s V5C or keys, we will be unable to scrap your vehicle.
We will require someone to be present on collection; if you are unable to be there, a trusted family member, friend or neighbour can be there on your behalf. We pay via cash, cheque or loyalty card but there are a few conditions. Please visit our
Scrap Car FAQ page for further information.
