Testimonials
How Much Is My Scrap Car Worth in Hoddesdon?
The value of a scrap or unwanted car depends on more than its age. When calculating your quote, we consider:
- The make and model
- The age of the vehicle
- Its weight
- Its overall condition
- Whether it starts and drives
- Whether important parts are missing
- Its potential salvage value
- Current recycled metal prices
- The collection location
A newer damaged vehicle may be worth more as a salvage car, while an older vehicle in poor condition may be valued mainly according to its recyclable materials.
We provide our best available price based on the information you give us. We don’t deliberately offer an inflated figure and then reduce it when the driver arrives. As long as the car matches the description provided, the agreed price will be honoured.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you collect scrap cars for free in Hoddesdon?
Yes. Collection is completely free, and we never charge to remove your vehicle.
How fast will I get paid?
Most customers are paid within a few hours of collection, and always within 24 hours. There are no hidden fees or reductions — the price you’re quoted is the price you’re paid.
Do I need the logbook (V5C)?
It helps, but you can still scrap your vehicle without it. We’ll guide you through the process.
Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes – for ELV vehicles processed through an Authorised Treatment Facility.
My car isn’t running. Can you still collect it?
Absolutely. We collect non-running, SORN, damaged and MOT-failed vehicles every day.
Do I need to tell the DVLA that my car has been scrapped?
We’ll guide you through the simple DVLA process. In most cases, completing Section 9 of the V5C online is all you need to do. If you don’t have the logbook, we can still scrap your vehicle and help you notify the DVLA correctly.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
A V5C logbook is useful, but it’s not essential. As long as you can prove ownership of the vehicle, we can handle the rest. We’ll also talk you through any DVLA steps so everything is done properly.
Is my car recycled safely and legally?
Yes. Your vehicle will be depolluted and dismantled at a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) following strict environmental guidelines for End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs). This ensures fluids and hazardous materials are removed safely and as much of the car as possible is recycled.
