Scrap Car Essex FAQ's
essex
We are often asked whether collections are free and the answer is always yes! We operate with free collections as standard and so the price you are quoted for your vehicle, is the price you will receive, subject to inspection.
There may be some rare exceptions to this rule but, in general, collections are always free. If you have any further questions about this or any other aspect of our service, please do not hesitate to get in touch – we would be more than happy to help. Thank you for choosing our service!
Cars are what most people ask us to scrap, we also regularly scrap vans too, and can scrap most vehicles with wheels. Just give us a call and tell us what vehicle you have and we’ll let you know if we can scrap it. We also buy newer vehicles that still run well which don’t need to be scrapped. We pride ourselves on offering the best quotes in Essex and the surrounding areas, especially for cars that are less than 8 years old and in good working order.
Whilst it may seem like a daunting process, scrapping your car with Scrap Car Kings is actually very easy as we do all the work and you don’t need to visit a scrap yard. Once you’ve got in touch with us over the phone or via our website, we will take some details about your car and offer you a quote. When you have agreed the price, we will pay you the money and bring a truck to any destination in Essex to collect your vehicle and the Vehicle Registration Document. Once your car has been scrapped we will send you a Certificate of Destruction.

We offer scrap car collection seven days a week. Monday through Friday, we offer early morning and evening pickups to accommodate your schedule.
On Saturday and Sunday, we offer daytime pickups. We understand that your time is valuable, so we offer convenient pickup times to make it easy for you to get rid of your unwanted car.
For scrapping your car, you will need the vehicle registration document, also known as the V5C or vehicle logbook. The certificate proves the car belongs to you and prevents unauthorised sales. A photo ID may also be required
Most scrap yards will require proof of ownership before they will purchase a car and they may also ask for identification from the seller. You will also need to fill out section 9 of the V5C (vehicle registration certificate) and send it to the DVLA. This will tell the DVLA that your car is being scrapped. If you do not have your registration document (logbook) you can still scrap your car. Please follow our guide on Can I scrap my car without a logbook?
