We support life-changing UK charities

The last 5 years have seen roads in and around Southend experience over 4,300 road traffic accidents – with over 1,000 of the cars involved in those accidents written off by insurance companies. This staggering number of accidents costs Essex’s taxpayer-funded services over £311m every year.

At Car.co.uk, we can use cars that are written-off in accidents like these to channel important funding back into charities that support local communities. When you use our service to scrap your car, you’re directly helping to deliver work training, supported living homes, and food redistribution networks that serve the vulnerable people who need them the most.

Frequently asked questions

Our customers often have a lot of queries about scrapping their car. We’ve tried to cover the most frequently asked questions here:

Is the price you’ve offered to buy my scrap car in Southend guaranteed?

Yes, it is. The collection partners we work with must inspect your car before it’s collected – but as long as the car has been accurately described, the price quoted is the amount you’ll receive.

How do you decide what my scrap car is worth?

Our accredited scrap partners base their quotations on the weight of your car and the elements they’re able to recover for recycling purposes. As such, any additions or modifications will not add to the price you’re offered.

Why do you offer different prices for different cars?

The scrap car removal services we use in Southend base their scrap quotations on the weight of a car – and because different cars weigh different amounts, the quoted price will also differ. However, we work with many scrap yards who specialise in specific makes and models – so we’ll always make sure you’re offered the best possible price.

Can I still sell my car for scrap in Southend if it doesn’t have wheels?

Yes. By using specialist recovery vehicles, our collection partners can recover a car with no wheels.

I’ve added an aftermarket stereo to my car – can I keep it?

Yes, that’s no problem – you’re likely to get a better price with the stereo in the car, but missing components won’t stop our scrap partner buying your car.

I’ve seen references to ‘ELV’ on official paperwork – what does this mean?

ELV is short for End of Life Vehicle. ELV describes a vehicle that can no longer be used or repaired, either as a result of wear and tear - or damage. End of life vehicles are dismantled, depolluted and recycled at treatment facilities that are authorised by the Environment Agency.
