Prime Automotive Shoeburyness — collecting a Ford from our Vanguard Way garage in Essex
Real garage, real people. We're based at Vanguard Way, Shoeburyness — and we collect across the UK.

Why Fords end up at the scrap stage

Fords are the UK's most common cars on the road, so they're also one of the most common at the scrap stage. We see a lot of Fiestas and Focuses with rotted sills, head gasket failures on older 1.6 petrols, and Ranger pickups that have done a hard life on building sites and finally given up. Whatever's wrong with yours, we'll get you a fair price.

Popular Ford models we collect

Yours not on the list? Doesn't matter — we collect every Ford model. Just send us the reg.

What your Ford is actually worth

Ford parts are in strong demand at UK breakers because there are so many on the road. Engines, gearboxes, doors, and body panels off most Ford models are usable on hundreds of thousands of other cars — which is why we can get you a competitive price even on a non-runner.

We don't give made-up "instant quote" numbers like the comparison sites — those are designed to lowball you. We shop your Ford around to multiple licensed scrap yards, find the one paying the most for your specific car right now, and pass that price on to you. That's why our quotes routinely beat the online instant offers — and why we're confident enough to say: we'll beat any genuine quote you've got.

Most of the Fords we collect are 10+ years old, often a second or third owner who finally decided the next repair bill outweighs the car's value.

How it works

1. WhatsApp us with your reg

Send the registration number, the model, and a quick description of the condition (running, non-running, MOT failure, etc.). One photo is helpful but not essential.

2. We shop it around and quote you

We get prices from the licensed scrap yards we work with and come back to you with the best one — usually within minutes. No obligation if you don't like the number.

3. We collect, pay you, and handle the paperwork

Once you accept, we arrange a collection time that suits you — same-day where possible. We pay you cash on collection, take the car to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, and make sure your DVLA notification and Certificate of Destruction come through properly.

Any condition — we'll take it

We collect Fords in any state, including:

Failed MOT
Insurance write-offs (Cat S, Cat N)
Non-runners and seized engines
Accident damage
Missing keys or V5C (we'll help)
High-mileage end-of-life

Ford scrap — frequently asked

I've got a Ford Ranger that won't start. Will you still collect it?

Yes. We collect non-runners every day. Just message us on WhatsApp with the reg and a quick description and we'll send a quote.

How much is my old Ford Fiesta worth as scrap?

It depends on year, condition, whether it's complete, and current scrap metal prices — anywhere from £100 to £400+ for typical Fiestas. Send us a WhatsApp with the reg for a real quote in minutes.

Do I need to be there when you collect the car?

Yes — we'll need to see your ID, the V5C if you have it, and have you sign the disposal paperwork. The whole collection takes about 10-15 minutes.

What if I've lost the V5C (logbook)?

Not a problem. We can still collect — we'll help you handle the DVLA notification. It just takes a little longer to process.

How quickly can you collect?

Same-day collection is usually possible if you message us in the morning, especially in the SS, SS3, and surrounding postcodes. WhatsApp is the fastest way to lock in a slot.
