Cars and vans are our priority. Mopeds, scooters and motorbikes are only considered when complete, desirable and collection makes sense.

Compare an offer for the car as it stands

A large repair estimate can leave you deciding whether to repair, keep or sell. We can quote for the complete vehicle with its existing fault so you have another option before committing to the work. The offer depends on the individual car; a repair bill alone does not establish its value.

What to send for a useful offer

  • Registration, exact mileage and collection postcode
  • The garage diagnosis or repair estimate, if available
  • Whether it starts, drives, rolls and steers
  • Photos of the bodywork, interior, dashboard and any damage
  • Service history, keys, V5C availability and any missing parts

You can send photos on WhatsApp. Please cover personal details on a garage estimate before sharing it.

Mileage and condition can change the decision

A 30,000-mile car and a 130,000-mile example of the same model can have very different repair and resale prospects. Lower mileage, service history and a complete vehicle can make a repairable car particularly interesting. Tell us those details even if the car no longer runs.

Eligible collection is free and the agreed payment is made by bank transfer. Collection timing and access are confirmed before booking.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell a car if the repair costs more than I want to spend?

Yes. Send the registration, mileage, condition, garage diagnosis and collection postcode. Essex Scrap assesses the whole vehicle, including repair, resale and parts potential, before making an offer.

Do you need the mileage if the engine has failed?

Yes. Mileage still helps establish the vehicle's repair and resale potential. Lower mileage can make an otherwise comparable car more desirable, although condition, history and the fault also matter.

Can you collect a vehicle from a garage?

Collection can be arranged where the owner and garage agree and access is suitable. Confirm ownership, any outstanding garage arrangements and whether the vehicle rolls, steers and has keys before booking.

Do I have to pay for repairs before requesting a quote?

You can request an offer for the vehicle in its present condition. Tell us what has been diagnosed and whether it has been dismantled or parts are missing; a quote does not require you to authorise repairs.
