Default Best site for scrapping a car?

Looking to scrap old car i have, looking for a website that will pay the best wondered if anyone has used one and how they work?

As when i googled it came back with loads, are they trust worthy?

Contacted couple of local scrapers and prices are poor

I stripped a couple vectras years ago , just ended up looking in free ads and rang a couple

Most were obvious travellers and were helpful but had a guy who built stock racing cars and he gave me great price as it was already stripped and still had running engine !

I used Charles Trent (http://www.trents.co.uk/) last year to scrap a 1997 Volvo V40 and got £188. They came and picked it up from Bristol. They took the car and a few days later the money was in my account so I guess they're trustworthy.
I didn't get the certifiacte proving it had been scrapped but I believe they sent it to my old address, this is my fault though....

I used car take back end of last year to scrap a Renault Scenic after I blew up the engine, they offered me £25 more for it if they sent someone to collect it! Thought that was a bit strange, anyway I got £175 for it as a non runner by bank transfer same day, I was happy with that.
