Meet Scrap Cars R Us, the car disposal and car recycling specialists for the Croydon area. We offer a “Scrap my Car” and “Scrap my Van” service to customers who own vehicles which are nearing the end of their serviceable and repairable lifespans. Book in for a scrap car collection and receive a payment by bank transfer or pre-paid card.
Whether you choose to “Sell my Car”, “Sell my Van” or place it into the hands of our company, there is one thing we ask you to consider:
Have you removed all valuables before moving a vehicle on?
Some of our previous customers in Croydon have swapped cars for cash only to find they have left items of monetary or sentimental value inside. Scrap Cars R Us will always try to be vigilant, but the onus rests on the owner to make sure items they wish to keep are removed.
Personal Items
While our yard in Coulsdon has scanning equipment that is used while we undertake car disposal and car recycling work, it may not reveal personal items you would like to keep. Irrespective of whether you want to sell or scrap an ELV, check the interior of a vehicle first.
Photographs, letters and personal belongings can be lost forever if not removed ahead of a scrap car collection in the Croydon area.
Children’s Toys
If you have children, check the rear seats and footwells before you arrange a “Scrap my Car” or “Scrap my Van” service in Croydon. As you will probably know, children can obsess over certain toys and they tend to take them everywhere. Losing them can be devastating.
You can then exchange cars for cash with confidence, and the younger passengers you travel with can keep a favourite toy close to hand.
Unusual Items
If you can’t “Sell my Car” or “Sell my Van” but need an urgent scrap car collection from Croydon, check the glovebox, the centre console and the door cards for personal items. It isn’t unusual for our team to find wristwatches, jewellery and other strange items inside cars.
Even old tool kits have a residual value, especially if issued with a classic car, and these can be sold to collectors at a profit.
Never use “Scrap my Car” or “Scrap my Van” services in Croydon ahead of checking the contents of the vehicle first. Once we have finished a scrap car collection and put it through the car disposal and car recycling process, the chances of recovering your belongings will be more difficult and there is a risk that you could lose them forever.
There is little point in exchanging cars for cash if the payment our company makes won’t cover a fraction of the cost of your lost items.
The same should be said if you have found a private buyer and prefer to “Sell my Car” or “Sell my Van” traditionally. A few minutes spent searching through a vehicle can uncover lost gems, and we would much prefer our Croydon customers to keep what rightly belongs to them.
