There’s very little you have to do to prepare for collection, as long as all forms are complete you can scrap your car with us! If you have the documentation that comes with the car – such as the V5 logbook – then please have that ready to give to our collection team, in addition to a valid form of ID.

How much you’ll get for scrapping your car largely depends on its age and the condition it is in. You can find out how much your car is worth by entering your registration and postcode to receive a no obligation quote tailored to your car.

If your car has been well looked after and does not need much work done, you’re likely to receive as much money as you’d get from a dealer.

When scrapping your car, you will need the following documents:

The Vehicle Registration Document (V5C) – this is the vehicle logbook and is the most important document needed when scrapping your car.

The V5C/3 – this is the yellow slip from your vehicle registration document, you need to keep this and ensure you get a receipt from the ATF

Certificate of Destruction (CoD) – A centre with an ATF license are the only places authorised to issue the Certificate of Destruction, the CoD is a DVLA approved certificate that states you have had your car recycled and absolves you of any future responsibility for it.

If you’ve lost your V5C, prior to scrapping your car with us, you’ll need to let the DVLA know in writing, so that they know you’re no longer responsible for the vehicle

By law, the DVLA needs to know:
Your details
The details of your car (registration number, make, model)

Our details
The date of sale (from you to us)

Simply fill out our form with all of the required information to receive a free, no obligation quote, once you’ve accepted our quote we’ll allocate a driver to your vehicle, who will ensure that you’re paid for your vehicle prior to collection, once you’ve received your payment your driver will collect your car for you, and we’ll take care of the rest from there.
