How our scrap car collection works

  1. Quote: Send your reg and postcode for an instant valuation based on current scrap prices.
  2. Confirm: We agree a time window and your final offer—no surprises on the day.
  3. Collect: We load safely without damage to your driveway or garage.
  4. Pay: Instant bank transfer made at collection.
  5. DVLA: We notify DVLA and arrange a Certificate of Destruction (via ATF) on request.

What we collect

  • Scrap cars and vans (any make or model)
  • Non‑runners, SORN vehicles and MOT failures
  • Accident‑damaged, flood‑ or fire‑affected vehicles
  • With or without keys; with or without the V5C (ID/proof of ownership required)

What affects your price

  • Vehicle weight and model: heavier vehicles usually return more scrap value
  • Completeness: missing wheels, battery or catalytic converter reduces the offer
  • Access and location: locked wheels, tight access or off‑road locations may affect recovery time
  • Market conditions: rates follow daily scrap metal prices

DVLA, payments and compliance

  • Payments are by instant bank transfer only (Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013)
  • Vehicles are processed by an Authorised Treatment Facility for compliant recycling
  • DVLA paperwork handled; Certificate of Destruction available after processing
  • Photo ID and basic ownership proof required; V5C helps but isn’t essential
