How we handle scrap car removal
You call us, you describe the car (make, model, year, general condition). We tell you straight away if we can remove it for free or if we can buy it from you. If it has market value (spare parts, resale potential, recoverable metals), we make you a purchase offer. Towing is included in the price we offer.
We come with our tow truck or flatbed, we load the scrap car, and we take it away. You don't have to do anything, except give us the vehicle documents (registration certificate) so we can legally deregister it. We handle all the administrative paperwork for you.
Quick tip: don't leave a scrap car sitting around too long. In Brussels, leaving a car immobilised for more than 30 days on public roads is prohibited. You risk a fine and removal by the police. Call us at 0479 89 00 89 before that happens.

The certificate of destruction: why is it important?
When we remove your scrap car, we provide you with an official certificate of destruction. This document proves that your vehicle has been legally destroyed by an approved centre.
Why it's mandatory:
- 📄 Deregistration from DIV – Your vehicle is removed from the register. You're no longer responsible.
- 📄 End of insurance – You can cancel your car insurance policy.
- 📄 End of road tax – No more tax to pay.
- 📄 Legal protection – If someone uses the plates or commits an offence with your old car, you're covered.
Without a certificate of destruction, you remain the legal owner – even if the car has gone to the scrapyard. We handle all of this for you.

Whatever the condition, call us: we'll tell you what we can do.
- 🚗 Cars – All makes, all models, all years

Frequently Asked Questions
Is scrap car removal really free?
Yes, in most cases. If your car still has market value (parts, metals), we remove it for free. If it's really in very poor condition (burnt, seriously damaged), there may be fees. We tell you honestly on the phone before we come out.
What documents do I need to provide?
The vehicle registration certificate (log book). This is mandatory so we can legally deregister it. If you've lost the registration certificate, call us, we'll explain the procedure.
How long before you come to collect the scrap car?
Usually, we can come within 24-48 hours. If it's urgent (scrap car on public road, risk of fine), we can often come the same day. Call us at 0479 89 00 89, we'll sort it out.
Do you buy cars even if they don't run?
Yes, if they have value. A car that doesn't run can still be worth something for its spare parts or metals. Call us with the make, model and year, we'll make you an offer.
I no longer have the registration certificate, can you still remove the scrap car?
It's more complicated, but possible. You need to file a loss declaration and obtain a duplicate. We can guide you through the process. Call us, we'll explain.
What's the difference between you and a scrapyard?
We come to you to collect the car, that's the big difference. A scrapyard, you have to bring the vehicle yourself. We come out, we load, we take away, and we give you the certificate. You don't have to do anything.
My scrap car has been on the public road for a long time, is that serious?
Yes, in Brussels, a car immobilised for more than 30 days on public roads can be removed by the police and you risk a fine. Call us quickly at 0479 89 00 89, we can come within 24 hours.
Do you also take motorcycles, scooters and vans?
Yes, we remove all types of vehicles: cars, motorcycles, scooters, vans, commercial vehicles. Same conditions: free if it has market value, or purchase possible.
