Frequently Asked Questions
Can my car be scrapped in any condition?

How do you collect my scrap car?
We will arrange a time with you and a fully trained member of staff will collect your scrap car with a specialised vehicle. Scrapping your car with us is safe, easy and fast.
What do I need to do when you collect my car?
You need to make sure your scrap car is accessible and not locked away in a garage. If you have the V5 logbook and car keys, please give them to our driver when they arrive.
Can I drop my car off to you?
Yes, you can, simply bring your paperwork and ID with you and someone from our team will meet you at our yard.
What happens to my car once you collect it?
Your scrap car will be professionally recycled in an authorised treatment facility. Your car will be turned into scrap metal and non-recyclable items will be disposed of responsibly.
If you are scrapping the vehicle as part of a Scrappage Scheme, you will need to notify us ASAP.
How are scrap car prices are calculated?
Scrap car prices are mainly based on vehicle weight, metal market demand and whether the car is complete. Larger vehicles typically command higher prices due to their metal content.
