Well, look at you, still hanging in there like a trooper. You’ve got your valuation for that broken van festering in your driveway—a rusting hulk that’s more scrap than steed—accepted our offer because it’s frankly a miracle anyone’s paying for this heap, and arranged collection to boot it out of your life. You’ve even cleaned it (sort of) and dug out the paperwork like a proper grown-up. Now, we’re at step three of prepping for the big day: handling keys and access. It’s so basic you’d think it’s obvious, but you’d be amazed how many numpties muck this up—so let’s sort it before our lads roll up with the truck.
First off: the keys. You’d think this is a no-brainer—hand over the van, hand over the keys—but I’ve seen more cocked-up collections than I’ve had hot dinners. Dig them out—both sets, if you’ve got them—because we need to get into this wreck and shift it. Check the glovebox, that drawer full of junk, or under the sofa where they’ve been hiding since 2019. Lost them? Don’t panic—we’re not the Spanish Inquisition—but tell us ahead of time so we’re not standing there like lemons while you rummage through the shed. If it’s a non-runner, we’ll still take it, keys or not—our lads have tricks up their sleeves—but having them ready makes it quicker than a pit stop at Silverstone.
Next, access. Your van’s not floating in a vacuum—it’s parked somewhere, and we need to get to it. In the driveway? Grand—clear the path, move the bins, and tell the neighbor’s yappy dog to pipe down. Stuck in a garage? Open the bloody door—don’t make us play Houdini with a flatbed. Abandoned in a field after its last breakdown? Give us the postcode and a heads-up about the mud—we’ve got boots and winches, but we’re not here to reenact a tractor pull. If it’s on a street with more parking rules than a dictator’s handbook, let us know—permits, time slots, whatever—so we don’t end up with a ticket and a foul mood. Point is, make it easy for us to swoop in and snag this heap.
Here’s the deal: at webuybrokenvans, we’re not fussy—we’ll take your van whether it’s keyless, locked tight, or parked in the middle of nowhere—but a bit of prep keeps it smooth. Have the keys in hand, clear the way, and don’t leave us guessing where this rust bucket’s hiding. It’s not rocket science—it’s barely even car science—just common sense to avoid a faff-fest on collection day. You want this over quick—van gone, cash in pocket—and we’re here to make it happen faster than you can say “scrapheap challenge.”
So, don’t sit there twiddling your thumbs while your van rots. Get that valuation, accept the offer, and sort the keys and access—it’s easier than parallel parking a tractor and a damn sight more rewarding than arguing with your mechanic. Our truck’s coming—be ready, because cash is waiting and your driveway deserves a break.
