Shiny TV adverts with irritating jingles offering you lots for your car..... if only!
So, you've just watched that irritating TV advert or seen a billboard or a van parked by the side of the road offering you mega money for your car. Tempting isn't it? Big money for your old banger, its surely a no brainer to go ahead...... or maybe there are a few catches!
1). YOU have to take the car to them!
That sounds aright doesn't it? What can go wrong? Well, firstly, and most importantly, are you insured to drive that car anymore? The chances are you are not, and your insurance on your new car does NOT allow you to LEGALLY drive your old banger anywhere. Why? Because for the insurance policy on your new car to cover your old car, your old car has to physically be insured by someone else, otherwise theres nothing to stop people buying one policy and then driving around in whatever they like. Many people get caught out assuming that a FULLY COMPREHENSIVE insurance policy automatically covers them....... in 99.99% of all cases, your insurance will NOT cover you. Six Points on your licence, raised insurance costs. The other aspect to consider is, you're scrapping it for a reason, is the car going to actually get you to where you need to go?
Its why we run a fleet of recovery trucks, PRECISELY to ensure you will NEVER have that worry!
2). You get a great price online!
Again, that sounds brilliant, except in most cases with regards cars nearing the end of their life, the price you're quoted will be a distant memory by the time they've finished inspecting the car. Thats right, they are going to inspect your car, regardless of whether or not you consider it to be scrap, and they are going to reduce their quote with every scratch, small dent, missing wheelcover, scratched alloy wheel, worn drivers seat, worn wiper blades..... in other words, the price you got quoted online is now going to be greatly reduced. Lots of people then opt to let them have the car rather than risk driving the car back. Thats not right, and its not fair, which is why we do NOT indulge in such antics!
We don't inspect ANY car, we don't reduce quotes on vehicles in an attempt to get the price down, what you get quoted over the phone is EXACTLY what you'll get in your hand, you're calling us because you're scrapping your vehicle, we're no more likely to inspect the car than we are to enter it into a beauty contest!!
3). Paying Admin Fees!!!
Seriously?? Unfortunately so. For a bloke to wander around your car with a clipboard ticking off reasons to lower the quoted price, you're going to be charged around £45 for the privilege!!!
This is their job, and its quite simple, get the price down! They'll be doing this to a virtually new £34,000 BMW, just imagine the 'problems' and blemishes they are going to find on your 10-15 year old car!!!
Remember, we don't care if the engine is knocking, if the gearbox is broken, if its rusty beyond words or if its quite possibly the biggest pile of junk in your street, its still worth CASH and we're happy to PAY you for it..... problems and blemishes galore!
If it sounds too good to be true...... chances are it probably is!
So, for a hassle free service, that pays YOU cash for your unwanted car, collects for FREE at a time of YOUR choosing, it pays YOU to deal with the professionals... South West Scrap!
