Prime Automotive Shoeburyness — collecting a Mercedes-Benz 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 Mercedes-Benzs end up at the scrap stage

Older Mercs are often scrapped because the body rusts (E-Class W210/W211 are notorious), the air suspension fails on E and S-Class, or the gearbox is going and a refurb is £2k+. Beautiful cars when they're young — expensive to keep running once they're 10-15 years old.

What your Mercedes-Benz is actually worth

Mercedes parts are pricey new — which means breakers pay well for good used ones. Especially body panels, headlights, gearboxes, and infotainment. We factor all of that into your quote.

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

Either a 2nd-or-later owner of a 10+ year old C or E-Class with a big mechanical fault, or someone who's tired of the running costs and wants the car gone today.

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 Mercedes-Benzs 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

Mercedes-Benz scrap — frequently asked

My Mercedes has rusted sills / chassis. Will you still collect it?

Yes — rust is normal at the scrap stage. As long as the car is roughly complete, we'll collect and pay. WhatsApp us a few photos of the rust and the reg.

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.
