What’s the difference between scrap and salvage?
Scrapping means your car goes straight to the scrapyard, where it’s depolluted and crushed. Salvaging is different: your car is taken apart first, and any working parts are reused. Salvage offers are often higher, as buyers can sell the parts before recycling the rest. The vehicle’s condition, make, model and mileage can all increase the offer you receive.
What happens to my scrap car?
Our trusted partners recycle your scrap car following UK regulations, once we’ve collected it quickly and safely. Most of the car gets recycled, helping the environment. You get a fair price and a Certificate of Destruction as proof your car has been disposed of responsibly.
Can my car be scrapped if it’s damaged, broken or has no MOT?
Yes, you can scrap your car with us if it’s damaged, broken, or has no MOT. We collect vehicles in any condition and offer fast, fair quotes. Our trusted partners handle everything, including eco-friendly disposal. Get your instant quote online or call 03333 44 99 50. Lines are open seven days a week. We make scrapping your car quick and stress-free.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
You’ll need photo ID and proof of address, and your V5C logbook if you still have it. The logbook goes with the car, but keep the yellow section back so you can tell the DVLA it’s been scrapped.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C?
Yes, you can still scrap your car if the V5C logbook has gone missing. Photo ID and proof of address will usually do instead. Just let us know when you get your quote so the collector is expecting it.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Not while money is still owed on a hire purchase or PCP deal, as the finance company owns the car until it’s paid off. Settle what’s left or speak to your lender first. Once it’s cleared, you can get a quote and scrap it as normal.
Can I scrap my car without the keys?
Yes, you can still scrap a car with no keys. Mention it when you get your quote, as it can affect a salvage offer and the collector needs to know before they arrive.
Do I need to be there for collection?
No. You can ask someone else to hand over the vehicle for you. They will still need to present the same documentation though, and that includes having their own photo ID available.
Will I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes, the DVLA refunds any full months of vehicle tax left once it knows the car has been scrapped. It’s worked out from the date the DVLA gets that information, and the cheque is sent to the name and address on your V5C logbook. Any Direct Debit for the tax is cancelled automatically.
How do I tell the DVLA I’ve scrapped my car?
Tell the DVLA online, or post the yellow section of your V5C logbook, as soon as the car has been collected. You can be fined £1,000 if the DVLA isn’t told, so it’s worth doing straight away.
Can I scrap a SORN vehicle?
Yes, you can scrap a car that is registered as SORN. Our collectors will be able to take ownership of the vehicle by picking it up from a driveway or other off-road spot. When they do, the SORN will be removed so it’s important to let the DVLA know about the change of ownership and scrapping.
Can I keep my private number plate when I scrap my car?
Yes, but it will need to be put on retention via the DVLA before the vehicle is scrapped. If the car is scrapped with the number plate still actively registered to that vehicle, your private reg will be lost forever.
How do I prepare my car for collection?
Remember to remove all personal items from the vehicle before sending it off to be scrapped. You wouldn’t want to forget expensive gadgets like dashcams, or items of clothing like jackets or wellies, as they may be disposed of with the car.
How do I get the best price for my car in Bury?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren’t destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car’s condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that’s the price you’ll be paid. Salvage quotes depend on the car’s condition, not just its weight. Accurately describing the vehicle ensures the highest price and prevents later adjustments. Misrepresentation can occasionally result in lower offers. However, our team will let you know and share why.
