An old, damaged, or non-running car can quickly become a hassle. It may be untaxed, failed its MOT, too expensive to repair, or difficult to sell privately. Most buyers want a car they can drive away in, so scrap or non-running vehicles often attract time-wasters and low offers.
We make the process simple. Call us with your registration and a brief description of the car, and we can usually give you a price over the phone.
When we scrap your car, it is processed through a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility. Fluids and hazardous materials are removed, usable parts are recovered, and the vehicle is recycled properly.
You receive a Certificate of Destruction, and the DVLA is notified, so your responsibility for the vehicle is closed correctly. Under UK law, scrap vehicles cannot be paid for in cash. We pay by same-day bank transfer, usually on the day we collect your car.
You can call or fill in the form on the website with your registration, the vehicle condition, and where it is in Gravesend. We give you a price. If you accept, we will agree on a collection time. A recovery vehicle comes to you with the paperwork, takes the vehicle, completes the documentation with you, and you receive a same-day bank transfer once the handover is done.
We help with the V5C section and notify the DVLA as part of the process. A full V5C helps, but we can advise if it is missing. If the logbook is missing, let us know when you call, and we can advise.
We do not charge for collection anywhere in Kent, including Gravesend. There are no admin fees deducted from your payment. What we quote is what you receive when the vehicle matches the details provided. We confirm the price before collection. The price is based on the condition you describe when you request the quote.
Gravesend sits in the DA11 and DA12 postcode areas, roughly 23 miles from our base in Sittingbourne along the A2. We cover the full Gravesend area regularly, including Northfleet, Denton, Perry Street, Milton, Gravesend town centre, and the surrounding villages out to Shorne and Cobham. If you are unsure whether your address is within our collection area, call us, and we will confirm.
A 24-hour recovery truck service handles vehicles that cannot be driven. If the car is immovable, on a driveway with restricted access, or in a car park, tell us when you book, and we will send the appropriate vehicle. Free collection is guaranteed regardless of the vehicle's condition within Gravesend and the wider Kent collection area.
Scrap valuations are based on vehicle details, condition, current scrap metal prices, and any salvage or resale potential. We quote after you give us the registration and a condition summary.
We do not quote fixed prices by make and model without seeing the details, because the same car in running condition with a clean body is worth more in parts recovery than one with severe structural corrosion.
Choose a scrap buyer that uses a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility and can provide the right DVLA paperwork. For a compliant scrap process, check that a Certificate of Destruction can be issued and that payment is made by bank transfer or another legal non-cash method. If a buyer offers to pay cash for a scrap vehicle, do not proceed. Under UK law, cash payment is not allowed for a vehicle being scrapped with a Certificate of Destruction, and you may not receive the correct DVLA paperwork.
A written quote before any collection happens protects you. So does knowing the business has a physical address and a track record in Kent. Quick Cash Cars is based in Sittingbourne, has more than 30 years in the car-buying business, and covers Kent, including Gravesend.
It helps to have it, but it is not essential. If the logbook is missing, let us know when you call. We can still process the collection and handle DVLA notification, though the process may take slightly longer. Do not delay calling us just because you cannot find the V5C.
An MOT failure on its own does not change the scrap valuation significantly. The price reflects weight, condition, and parts recovery potential. A car that failed on emissions or lights is worth broadly the same as one that failed on structural grounds, because the scrap price is driven by the metal, not the MOT certificate. Call us with the registration and a description of the condition, and we will give you a figure.
Yes. Tell us about any access constraints when you book. Our recovery vehicles are equipped for most situations. If there is genuinely no way to reach the vehicle with a standard recovery truck, we will tell you in advance rather than show up and turn away. Narrow roads, gated driveways, and high-rise car park bays are all situations we deal with regularly across Kent.
We aim to collect within 12 hours of agreeing on a price, and often the same day, depending on when you call. Gravesend is on our regular Kent collection route. Call us on 01795 250 065 to confirm availability for your area.
It goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility for processing under the End-of-Life Vehicles Regulations 2003. Fluids are removed, hazardous components are extracted, usable parts are recovered, and the shell is processed for scrap metal recycling. You receive a Certificate of Destruction once processing is complete, confirming the vehicle has been legally disposed of and your keeper liability has ended.
We cover DA11 and DA12 in full, including Northfleet, Gravesend town centre, Denton, Perry Street, Milton, and the surrounding areas out to Shorne and Cobham. If you are on the boundary of the Gravesham district and unsure, call us, and we will confirm on the spot.
