Three cars collected (one of which had not moved for 12 years) in one swoop. Excellent service both from the office/admin and the lorry pick up. Really pleased to have this service and have it done so effortlessly… got a better price for the cars than quoted elsewhere too.A great team who kept me informed via WhatsApp at every stage - pick up arrangements, banking details, collection completed etc.Well done Assington Autos!

Used them to scrap a car and the lady on the phone was really helpful and explained everything to me. Competitive price and arranged collection promptly. Got paid the next morning after collection. Really happy with the service. Many Thanks for making the process easy.

Got my car picked up today - was stationary for ages and seemed like it wasn’t going to even start. The two guys that came to collect it were really experienced and so helpful, managed to load it up in no time. I honestly thought getting rid of it would now be so much hassle, they definitely proved me wrong! Great service, highly recommended!Also, the receptionist lady I spoke to was so helpful (and most likely advice saved me a £1000 fine).

Assington autos collected my car through scrap car comparison. I phoned them to arrange collection the lady explained to me the process and took my bank details for payment into my account. I sent a copy of ID. The driver telephoned me on the day of collection to say he was going to be 20 minutes. He turned up filled in the log book and took the car. Payment was in my account by that evening. It was a nice and easy process and staff were helpful.

Very friendly and professional service - highly recommend.I was a little worried about the whole process, as I haven't done this before, but the customer service lady was so helpful & guided me through everything I needed to know.Communication was excellent and very reassuring.The guy who collected was also friendly and told me exactly what I needed to do next. Money cleared exactly as promised - I needn't have worried at all :) wish I had more cars to scrap!

Great company, was offered a quote on a compare site for my car and then Assington called me the next day to arrange a pick up for it. They sorted a day out for me when I was available and then man who collected my car was great and did everything he needed to do. To top it off I was paid the same day with the full amount I was quoted for. Definitely recommend using this company for scrapping your car

We have scrapped three cars in two years (don't ask - blame the kids!) and Assington are by far the best of the three companies. Both other firms gave a price but tried to argue it down when they arrived, hoping that we would just accept the odd £50 less as they were at our door and ready to load. Assington didn't do that. They also told us when they would come, when we would be paid, confirmed they had received the car back at their yard and then sent a text to confirm payment had been sent. Perfect service - shame we have no more cars to scrap!

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.

11:52 04 Feb 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.

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
We offer some of the highest prices in the UK for scrap cars. Assington Autos specialise in scrap car collection across Suffolk and Essex and the rest of the UK. 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. 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:
1. Weight of vehicle
2. Make & model of vehicle
3. Vehicles complete with original catalytic converter
4. 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.
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. If required we can can send out a Certificate of Destruction via email if requested at time of booking. Enter your vehicle details today and see how we compare.
