About Our Scrap My Car Service

Every car we collect is processed at our ATF-licensed yard. Fluids are drained, hazardous materials separated, and metals sent to UK smelters. You get a locked-in price, doorstep pickup, and a Certificate of Destruction posted to you.

What We Accept

Vehicles we regularly handle through our scrap my car service:

  • End-of-life saloons and hatchbacks -- Fiestas, Corsas, Golfs, Focuses, and similar volume sellers
  • Larger estate cars and SUVs -- heavier kerb weight means higher scrap value
  • Panel vans and light commercials -- Transits, Sprinters, Vivaros up to 3.5 tonnes
  • MOT failures where the repair bill exceeds the car's market value
  • Non-runners and non-starters -- seized engines, flat batteries, no wheels
  • Accident-damaged vehicles -- Category S, Category N, and unrecorded damage
  • High-mileage diesels with DPF faults, turbo failures, or injector problems

How We Operate

Our scrap my car process from start to finish:

  • Weight-Based Pricing -- Your quote starts with the vehicle's kerb weight multiplied by the day's scrap steel rate per tonne.
  • Parts Premium -- Catalytic converters, working engines, and undamaged gearboxes add value on top of the base metal price.
  • Free Flatbed Collection -- Our driver loads the vehicle at your address. No towing fees, no call-out charges.
  • Doorstep Payment -- Cash or instant bank transfer completed before the driver leaves your property.
  • Same-Day DVLA Filing -- We submit the V5C notification electronically within hours of collection.
  • Certificate of Destruction -- Posted to your address, confirming the vehicle has been legally scrapped at our ATF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your price is based on three factors: the vehicle kerb weight, the current UK scrap steel price, and the value of salvageable parts such as the catalytic converter, engine, and gearbox. We combine these into a single guaranteed figure.

Yes. Our flatbed trucks collect non-runners, non-starters, and vehicles with no wheels or flat tyres. The driver winches or rolls the car onto the bed at no extra charge.

Having the V5C speeds things up, but it is not essential. If you have lost it, we can still collect and process the vehicle after verifying your identity.

A Certificate of Destruction is the official document confirming your vehicle has been scrapped at an Authorised Treatment Facility. It proves you are no longer the registered keeper and protects you from future liability.

Same-day collection is often available if you accept before midday. Otherwise we can schedule a morning or afternoon slot on any day of the week, including weekends.

No. We collect vehicles in every condition. Condition affects the scrap value but never whether we will come and pick it up.
