The Original Essex Scrap
Trusted local vehicle buyers serving Essex and the South East for over 15 years
Our Story
Essex Scrap was founded in 2011 with a simple mission: to provide Essex vehicle owners with a fair, honest, and hassle-free way to sell their unwanted cars and vans.
What started as a small family operation has grown into one of Essex's most trusted vehicle buying services. Over the past 15 years, we've helped thousands of customers turn their problem vehicles into cash — from scrap cars and MOT failures to accident-damaged vehicles and unwanted vans.
Unlike national companies that treat you as just another number, we're a local business that takes pride in personal service. When you call Essex Scrap, you're speaking to people who know Essex, understand your needs, and genuinely want to help.
We're not affiliated with any similarly named companies. We're the original Essex Scrap — and our reputation speaks for itself.
