Prime Automotive Shoeburyness — collecting a Kia 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 Kias end up at the scrap stage

Like Hyundai (their parent company), most Kias we collect are either accident-damaged write-offs or older Picanto and Ceed models that have hit a major mechanical fault. The 7-year warranty means most Kias under 7 years are still on the road.

Popular Kia models we collect

Kia Picanto
Kia Ceed
Kia Sportage
Kia Niro
Kia Rio
Kia Sorento

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

What your Kia is actually worth

Kia shares a parts pool with Hyundai which keeps demand healthy. Picanto and Ceed body panels especially are well-priced at breakers.

We don't give made-up "instant quote" numbers like the comparison sites — those are designed to lowball you. We shop your Kia 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.

City-car owners with a Picanto or Rio that's hit a fault, or insurance write-off Kias from the last few years.

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 Kias 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

Kia scrap — frequently asked

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.
