What we take

If it has four wheels and it's had enough, we'll take it

We do not cherry-pick the easy ones. Most of what comes through the gate is awkward in some way, and that is fine — it is the job.

The main ones

Each of these has a page of its own

Because the questions are different. Somebody whose van has died has nothing in common with somebody sat on a Category S settlement.

Car breakers

A vehicle dismantler, not a metal merchant. Parts come off before anything is crushed, which is why a complete car is worth more here than at a weighbridge.

MOT failures

Failed the MOT and not worth repairing? Free collection across Huddersfield and all HD postcodes, paid by bank transfer before we load.

Non-runners

Won't start, won't move, no keys, seized brakes? Free non-runner collection across Huddersfield and the HD postcodes. We bring the right truck.

Vans & pickups

Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro, pickups. Vans are heavier than cars and worth more. Free collection across Huddersfield and the HD postcodes.

4x4s & SUVs

Freelander, RAV4, X-Trail, Qashqai, Sorento. Heavier vehicles are worth more. Free 4x4 collection across Huddersfield and all HD postcodes.

Write-offs

We take all four write-off categories. Cat A and B must be destroyed; Cat S and N are often not worth repairing. Free collection across HD.

And everything else

The rest of what comes through the gate

MOT failures

The commonest thing through the gate. Failed on corrosion, emissions, a structural advisory that has finally caught up with it — and the bill is more than the car is worth. There is no point spending £900 on a car worth £600.

Non-runners

Will not start, will not turn over, seized after standing all winter, head gasket gone. It makes no difference to whether we take it, only to which truck we bring. Tell us whether the wheels still turn.

Accident damage

Front-end damage, side impact, rolled. Whether or not an insurer has been involved, we will take it. If it has been assessed and given a category, tell us which one.

Insurance write-offs

Category A, B, S and N all accepted. A and B legally cannot go back on the road and must be destroyed; S and N can be repaired but often are not worth it. We handle all four correctly.

Vans and pickups

Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro, Combo, Hilux, Ranger. Heavier vehicles are worth more. If you are a trade customer clearing more than one, ring the yard and we will price the batch.

4x4s and SUVs

Freelander, Discovery, RAV4, X-Trail, Qashqai. Same story — more weight, more to recover, better money than a supermini.

Cars with bits missing

No wheels, no engine, no catalytic converter, stripped for parts already. Still worth taking. It affects the figure, which is exactly why we ask before quoting rather than after.

Fire and flood damage

Burnt-out shells and flood-damaged cars both need careful handling — flood cars in particular carry contaminated fluids. We are set up for it. Say so when you ring.

Not sure which of these your car is? Send us the registration and describe it in your own words in the notes box. We would rather read a plain description than have you guess at a category.

Straight answers

The awkward cases

Is there anything you will not take?

Very little. What we cannot do is take a vehicle from someone who is not the registered keeper and cannot show authority to sell it. If you are dealing with an estate, a repossession or a car abandoned on your land, ring us and we will talk it through.

Do you take motorbikes or caravans?

Ring the yard and ask. It depends on what it is and what condition it is in, and it is a quicker conversation on the phone than through a form.

The car is on private land and is not mine. Can you remove it?

Not straight away. There is a legal process for abandoned vehicles on private land and it has to be followed. Give us a call and we will tell you what is involved.

Sat on your drive doing nothing?

Give us the registration. We'll tell you what it's worth and, if you're happy, have it gone tomorrow.
