Fortunately, we work with reliable Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) within the Stockport Area (Alongside our scrap car Manchester branch) that dispose of vehicles regularly and adhere to strict recycling guidelines.

Our specialist buyers buy all cars for scrap and salvage – Whether broken, damaged or faulty.
