We sold our car to Assington Autos for breaking/scrap. Their communication was absolutely brilliant, everything was completely transparent and well explained. They also offered us the highest price for scrap, when compared to others. The collection was booked and carried out in a really good time frame, and I would recommend them for this service. Big shout out to Tara, who I spoke with to make the arrangements and who handled the admin side, you’re doing a great job and you’re a credit to Assington Autos.

Found Assington Autos via scrapcarcomparison. Super efficient and friendly service from Tara. They were up front about costs and expectations - even gave me some friendly advice! Pickup was also great, friendly driver who wasn't put out by me missing his phonecall several times. Received the money as promised in good time. 10/10

From start to finish, Assington Autos provide a friendly and professional service during the scrapping of my car. A fair price, no trying to haggle you down. Great communication at every step of the way. Efficient collection and immediate payment. I was anxious about how the process would work, but needn’t have been. Fully recommended.

Contacted them via a third party and couldn't be happier! Best quote I'd received for my much loved car, the woman on the phone was phenomenally helpful with advising me on what to do next etc. They picked up my car this morning (having called them Saturday). Would recommend any time couldn't fault them one bit.

Andrea Carr

02:33 23 Jan 21

What a pain free experience!Was really reluctant to get rid of the car despite knowing it would never go on the road again. When I originally got the quote online I was stunned at how much I was going to get and waited for the callback to be knocked down in price. I wasn’t!Got the call at 8.05am on the day we’d agreed, telling me they’d be there between 15 and 20 minutes and they were spot on.When the driver turned up, the car wouldn’t start so I thought, great how’s this going to work? But of course, there was a battery charger in the cab of the lorry! The driver was COVID safe, really friendly and funny but at the same time, very professional. The office staff were of the same standard. The money went in as promised on the same day.Would highly recommend them.

Thank you so much for coming out to remove our 60 year old Bedford van. It was a challenging removal which you made look easy.

We really appreciate all the extra effort you put in to be able to carry on out this removal for us.

I'm very happy with the service I received. Tara in the office was helpful on phone & Charlotte's email was clear on information that DVLA would require. I even didn't have to stay in & left my car key in an arranged place so car could be picked up while I was at work. I feel that they gave me a good price for my car & paid the price quoted in the text that was sent. Money was paid direct to my bank account. My experience has been a good one and I would use this company again & recommend.

After experiencing an issue attempting to scrap a car I was someone displeased with this company and left a poor review.However, I feel it is only right to update this review and explain that the company director took time to call me to apologise, and explain what had gone wrong, and the steps he had taken to fix things going forward.Sometimes we don't always get things right first time, but its the sign of a good company when the director personally calls you back to apologise, and make the situation right. I would happily do business with these guys in the future!

Scrap Car Collection

Assington Autos specialise in scrap car collection across Suffolk and Essex. If you have an unwanted or damaged vehicle and need to have it collected call now or use our scrap car valuation form found on this page or our homepage. We will provide an immediate quote and you can choose to accept the online valuation. We will then arrange collection of your vehicle. Scrap car prices are quoted using a vehicle database lookup and takes into account a number of elements to enable us to accurately price your scrap car.

Factors that make a difference to the scrap car value are the following:

Weight of vehicle
Make & model of vehicle
Pick up or delivery

Scrap Car Prices & Car Scrap Value

Be aware of companies that offer high prices only to turn up and offer lower prices on your doorstep. This is a common practice with unlicensed and unscrupulous scrap merchants. Prices for scrap do fluctuate and depend very much on steel production and steel imports into the country. We provide a no obligation quote for your vehicle online, you do not have to accept our valuation but we believe it is a fair and well calculated price.

Cash For Scrap Cars

There is no such thing as cash for your scrap vehicle, if anyone offers this they are breaking the law. 2013 legislation in the UK requires you to be paid for your scrap car with a cheque or an electronic money transfer. This was introduced to prevent thieves from stealing vehicles and then selling them for scrap to get quick cash. Theft of copper was also a reason this was introduced in the UK. This actually had a beneficial effect for the customer increasing the value of your scrap car after security measures were put in place.

How is payment made?

Once you accept our offer the next step is for Assington Autos to collect your car, unless of course you are delivering it to us. We will contact you and arrange a collection date and time. The sellers identification must also be verified for us to be able to collect your vehicle. Usually a photo drivers licence will suffice, or you can use your passport plus a recent utility bill with your address on.

Payment can be made via cheque at the time of handing over your keys or we can arrange an electronic transfer at the handover date and time, whatever you feel more comfortable with. Collecting and paying for your car can happen within hours of you accepting our quote for your vehicle to be scrapped

Who handles the paperwork when scrapping a vehicle?

If you have tax or insurance remaining on the car it is best you handle the paperwork so you get proper refunds. If these elements have been taken care of then we can handle the paperwork for you.

I have lost my paperwork what do I do?

If you do not have a registration certificate you can still contact the DVLA to say it has been scrapped. If you do this make sure you give the full details of the scrap yard / recycling centre that are handling your car and full car details including registration, make, model and date of sale to the scrap yard.

Certificate of Destruction

We will also produce a certificate of destruction only authorised centres are able to provide this. The certificate provides evidence the vehicle has been taken off of the road and scrapped. Without this document you could potentially still be liable for insurance or road tax.
