Scrap car services in Yeovil
Everything we can do for you and your car in Yeovil.
Scrap your car
Quite simply the easiest vehicle sale you'll ever see. Get a quote in seconds and sell your car in days! All you need is some basic information to get started and we'll find you local scrap buyers in or around Yeovil waiting for a car just like yours.
Sell a damaged vehicle
Trying to sell a damaged vehicle privately can be a long and frustrating process. Remove the risk of time wasters or hagglers by coming straight to us. We'll find what your car is worth and get that figure for you much quicker than selling from your driveway! If your car is particularly old and has just suffered from intense wear and tear, then we can sort this too. We scrapped a 48-year old car in Yeovil recently!
Sell a car as salvage
Some cars destined for the scrap pile might actually have some extra value in them if they have parts that can be used elsewhere. Tell us the exact condition of your car and we'll see if we can squeeze every piece of value out of it by selling it as salvage rather than scrap. 39% of the cars we helped in Yeovil were sold for salvage, so yours could be next.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
We don't just help sell cars for scrap and salvage. If it's got wheels we'll sort it out! Vans, trucks, lorries, buses, coaches - you name it, we'll scrap it! Get in touch and we can even help out with entire fleet disposals, too!
How to scrap your car in Yeovil
1. Get a quote
By using our free, no-obligation quote generator you're going to see your base scrap prices in as little as 30 seconds. All we need is a postcode and vehicle registration number to get started and we'll price it up based on its weight.
2. Provide more details
We'll give you a call to discuss your car in greater detail, and this is your chance to get an even better price. Describe your car accurately and honestly and we'll see if it could be classified as a salvage vehicle and get an even bigger price. Make sure you also let us know if you're in an awkward location, or the car is in a barn, on a farm or down a country lane, as this will allow us to make sure the collector sends the correct type of recovery vehicle. Once you're happy, we'll lock your price in.
3. Arrange collection
With an offer now confirmed, we'll put you in touch with one of our trusted collection specialists who'll come out to get your car at a time that suits you. Make sure you have photo ID, your keys and the V5C ready. After a brief inspection to ensure the car is as you described and a quick check of your V5C logbook, it’ll be taken away and the money will be transferred directly into your bank account, often landing on the same day. We’ll make sure all the paperwork is sorted, too. Cash payment is not offered as this is illegal under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act.

What are scrap car prices in Yeovil?
All scrap car prices we quote in Yeovil, Somerset or anywhere in the country are based on the current value of scrap metal nationwide. This rate is then applied to the weight of your car, where a value is calculated. We’ll then check the prices local to you to ensure you’re getting the best price possible. We’ll also ask about the condition of your car to see if we could reclassify it as salvage, where age, condition and many other factors take effect.
What happens to scrap cars?
Scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental rules. Every car we scrap is taken to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility to be scrapped legally, and a Certificate of Destruction is issued to confirm it’s been done. When a car is scrapped, hazardous fluids and parts are removed first and it is returned to its original materials, and from there it will be used again in the manufacturing process.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
While scrap cars are sent straight to the scrapyard before the dismantling process, salvage cars will have some reusable components that are removed first. These components, such as engines or gearboxes, are then sold on as spares or repairs – adding value to your offers.
Can I scrap an MOT failure or insurance write-off?
Absolutely! Chances are if your car has been written off then it’s already heading for a scrap pile anyway, but we may still be able to help you out – just give us a call to discuss your options! MOT failures are also some of the most common vehicles we see as people look to offload a car they can’t afford to repair for a retest. No matter how badly damaged your car is, we can get you a great price.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
Ideally, the V5C logbook and some photo ID for when the car is collected. You’ll also need to give us your bank details so we can pay you. If anything’s missing, let us know when you get your quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C?
Yes, you can usually still scrap your car without the V5C logbook. You’ll need photo ID and some proof that the car is yours, such as a purchase receipt or old MOT certificate. Just tell us it’s missing when we discuss your car so there are no surprises on collection day.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Not until the finance is settled, because the car legally belongs to the finance company until it’s paid off. Contact your lender for a settlement figure first. Once it’s cleared, you’re free to scrap it.
Can I scrap my car if I don’t have the keys?
Yes, no keys doesn’t stop you scrapping your car. Just mention it when you describe the car to our team so the collection specialist comes prepared. It can sometimes affect the price, and we’ll tell you upfront if it does.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes. Once the DVLA knows the car has been scrapped, it automatically refunds any full months of tax left. The refund is sent to the address on the V5C, so make sure it’s up to date.
How do I tell the DVLA I’ve scrapped my car?
The quickest way is online, using the reference number from your V5C logbook. Do it as soon as the car has been collected so you’re no longer the registered keeper. That also triggers any road tax refund you’re owed.
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 keep my personalised number plate?
Yes you can, however you must make sure you follow the relevant processes first, otherwise it could be lost forever. You’ll need to transfer it to another vehicle or put it on retention to avoid it being lost when your car is put through the crusher.
What should I do before the collection?
Makes sure you’ve cleared the car of all personal belongings. We regularly see parking permits, dashcams and satnavs left in the car, so double check you’ve removed everything. We also recommend removing any personalised number plates before the scrap process begins, otherwise you risk losing it forever.
Remember not to cancel your insurance until after the car has been removed.
How do I get the best price for my car in Yeovil?
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.
