Some common reasons why Stockport car owners are scrapping their car with us:
Insurance Written Off Vehicle
Accident damage or salvage vehicles can carry very expensive repair and parts invoices that exceed the value of the car and it is no longer financially viable to repair. Don’t be discouraged by this, as scrapping your car might be the best option. That is why scrap my car Stockport is a viable option. A lot of the time most owners of the car they are due to scrap are more than happy to offload the liability of having a damaged or salvage scrap car off their driveway.
MOT Failure
A car that has failed its MOT can be expensive to put right depending on the cost of the parts and the work required. We have relationships with most garages and body shops, our scrap car recovery trucks are on a daily basis recovering MOT failures either directly from the garage or the owner’s house.
Unwanted Cars
Why occupy space on your property with a vehicle that you no longer use, when you can scrap it and get paid in the process? With how busy Stockport is and the shortage of car parking, we have a lot of local customers selling to free up space and at the same time free up some extra cash.
