Specialist Lifting for Difficult Collections

Not all scrap cars are easy to reach. Some are blocked in by other vehicles, overgrown in gardens or stuck in garages with no space to manoeuvre. We have the equipment and experience to collect vehicles from almost any location.

Thanks to our Hiab lifting equipment, we can remove:

  • Vehicles without wheels
  • Cars that will not roll or steer
  • Cars trapped behind obstacles
  • Vehicles embedded in the ground
  • Cars in tight garages or sheds
  • Cars stuck in gardens for many years

No matter how awkward the position is, we will find a solution.

DVLA Paperwork Handled Correctly

One of the most important parts of scrapping a car is the paperwork. Many customers are unsure about what needs to be completed, but you do not have to worry.

We complete all required documents, including the logbook section, and provide:

  • A clear record that the vehicle is no longer in your name
  • Email confirmation for your peace of mind
  • Guidance on what to keep and what to send

You can trust us to handle everything accurately and legally.

Send Photos on WhatsApp for a Fast Quote

Most customers prefer to send pictures first so we can give them the most accurate price. Simply send images of your vehicle to us on WhatsApp, along with your postcode, and we will reply with a quote within minutes.

This avoids surprises and allows us to plan the correct vehicle for the collection.
