Whether your wheels have been stolen, your tyres have completely perished, or you removed the alloys to sell separately, you might be wondering whether you can still scrap a car with no wheels. The answer is absolutely yes.
We Collect Cars in Any Condition
Our collection trucks are equipped to handle vehicles in every possible state. No wheels? No problem. Our drivers use specialist equipment including skates, dollies, and winches to safely load your vehicle onto the flatbed truck. We have collected cars from driveways, garages, fields, and even cars that have been sitting on bricks for years.
Does Missing Parts Affect the Price?
Yes, missing parts will reduce the quote slightly. Wheels and tyres have scrap value, so a car without them is worth a bit less. However, the difference is often smaller than people expect because the main value lies in the body shell metal and the catalytic converter rather than the wheels.
If you have removed parts to sell separately, that is completely fine. Many people sell alloy wheels, engines, or other used car parts privately before scrapping the shell. Just be upfront about what is missing when you request your quote so we can give you an accurate guaranteed price.
Other Missing Parts We Handle
No engine? No gearbox? No doors? Missing bumpers or interior stripped out? We still buy it. Our auto breakers and car dismantlers regularly process vehicles in all states of completeness. Even a bare shell has value for its metal content.
Access Considerations
The main thing to consider is access. A car without wheels cannot be rolled, so our driver needs to be able to get the collection truck close enough to winch the vehicle on. Let us know the situation when you book, and we will make sure the right equipment is sent.
