Frequently Asked Questions:

How much will I get for my car?
The figure received depends on the make & model, condition and what the current scrap value is. The amount paid will be a competitive amount. Please contact us for an up to date quote.

My car doesn't run is this still acceptable?
Yes of course! As long as the car is complete with keys and rolls then we can collect.

I'm worried about someone turning up that I don't know. How can I trust CMCE?
Making you feel comfortable is one of our main priorities. Prior to our arrival you will be emailed with our drivers details & photo so you know who to expect. The driver will have photo I.D. and all our drivers are regularly CRB checked to ensure your safety.

I have an older car is this still acceptable?
In many cases we can pay a figure in excess of the scrap value for older vehicles. We usually pay a premium for vehicles older than 2000 and also selected other vehicles.

Will I spend all day waiting for you to arrive?

No. We will make an appointment that is convenient to you. 

How will I get paid?

If you have the V5c (logbook) for the vehicle being collected or have a valid form of photo I.D. we can pay cash. Alternatively or if you prefer we can pay by bank transfer.

Do you only collect scrap cars?

No we collect all unwanted vehicles whether they drive or not.

Is it only cars that you collect?

No we collect most vehicles. Cars, vans, motorcycles, go karts etc.

What do you do with the vehicles that you collect?

It all depends on the vehicle. Some have reached the end of their useful life and are just stripped for parts and scrapped. Others are repaired or sold as projects either in the UK or abroad. Some are kept for ourselves (but not many if our partner is looking!).

Who are CMCE?

We are part of CAGE Ltd which is a family run company based in the automotive sector. 

My car is partially dismantled can you still collect?
Yes in most cases we still can as long as the vehicle can be made to roll.

Why should I use CMCE? 
We offer a professional and safe service whilst at the same time offering you a fair price for your vehicle.

I have a vehicle that needs collecting from my elderly parents home how do I know they will be safe?
This is a common issue and we have experience to deal with this. All of our drivers are CRB checked and car an official CMCE I.D. badge. Prior to coming both you and your parents will be notified of who is coming.
