How is salvaging different from scrapping?
Scrapping means your car goes straight to the scrapyard to be crushed and recycled. Salvaging is different—your car is taken apart first, and any working parts are reused. Salvage offers are often higher, as valuable parts can be sold on.
What will happen to my scrap car?
We collect your scrap car at a time that suits you. Our team handles all the paperwork and removes your car quickly. Your car is then depolluted and recycled safely, following UK regulations, and you’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction as proof it has been scrapped. Most parts are reused, helping the environment and clearing your space fast.
Can you scrap my specific make and model?
Yes, we can scrap your specific make and model. We work with all types of cars, no matter the age, brand, or condition. Just enter your details online for a quick, free quote. Our trusted partners handle everything, including collection, at no extra cost. We always dispose of vehicles responsibly and follow strict environmental standards.

Yes, you can scrap your damaged, broken, or no-MOT car with us. We collect vehicles in any condition, including non-runners, and offer a fair price, even if parts are missing. Get a quick quote online or call us on 03333 44 99 50, seven days a week. We handle everything, so you can clear your space fast and avoid extra costs.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
You’ll need your V5C logbook and photo ID, such as a driving licence or passport. The driver may also ask for proof of address. If anything is missing, tell our team when we call and we’ll talk you through your options.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C logbook?
Yes, in most cases. You’ll need photo ID and proof of address so the buyer can confirm the car is yours. Mention it when we call and we’ll match you with a buyer who can help.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Not until the finance is settled. The finance company owns the car until the agreement is paid off, so it isn’t yours to sell for scrap. Once it’s cleared, or the lender gives written permission, we can get you a quote as normal.
Can I scrap my car if I’ve lost the keys?
Yes. Our collection partners can load a car without keys, so it won’t stop the sale. Let us know when we call, as it can affect a salvage offer and the driver will need the right equipment.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes, you’ll get a refund for any full months of tax left once the DVLA knows the car has been scrapped. It’s paid automatically, so there’s nothing to claim. Part months aren’t refunded.
How do I tell the DVLA I’ve scrapped my car?
The Authorised Treatment Facility that takes your car updates the DVLA once it’s been scrapped. You should also tell the DVLA yourself, online or by post, using your V5C details. Once that’s done, you’re no longer responsible for the car.
Will I get a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes. The Authorised Treatment Facility that scraps your car issues a Certificate of Destruction, usually within seven days. It’s your proof the car has been scrapped legally, so keep it somewhere safe.
Do I have to be there for the collection?
You do not need to be present if you are unavailable, and can nominate someone to represent you if necessary. The person representing you must be over the age of 18 with ID and proof of address. This is also the case if you are scrapping a car on behalf of someone else, such as an elderly relative or after a bereavement – although you must make this clear whilst getting a quote in this situation.
Can I scrap a SORN car?
Absolutely! In fact, scrapping a SORN car is often easier as you don’t need to worry about cancelling any tax or insurance once it’s gone. There is no need to retax your car before collection if it’s currently SORN – just let our team know so the collector can make the relevant preparations before they get there.
Can I scrap a relative’s car?
If you need to scrap the car of an elderly relative or are looking after the estate of someone who’s recently died, you’ll need to be able to prove that you have the permission to do this on their behalf. Make sure you let our team know from the initial call that this is the situation you’re in.
How do I get the best price for my car in Perth?
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.
