FAQs

SELLING US YOUR VEHICLE

Do you pay cash for scrap cars?

No — and nobody legally can. Paying cash for scrap vehicles has been banned in England and Wales since 2013. We pay by bank transfer before the vehicle is loaded, and it's usually in your account the same day. Same money, properly traceable, and you're protected if anything is ever queried about the vehicle later.

How much will you pay to scrap my car?

It depends on the make, model, age, condition and what scrap metal is fetching that week — which moves. We won't quote a headline figure on a vehicle we haven't seen, because that's how people end up disappointed on the doorstep. Send us the details and a photo or two and we'll give you a real number.

Does it cost anything to have it collected?

No. Collection is free anywhere inside our area, and it isn't deducted from your offer. The figure we agree is the figure that lands in your account.

How and when do you pay?

Bank transfer, before the vehicle is loaded onto the truck. Paying cash for scrap vehicles has been illegal in England and Wales since 2013, so anyone offering you notes on the doorstep is not operating legally.

Do I need the V5C logbook?

It makes things simpler, but it isn't always a dealbreaker — tell us the situation when you get in touch. You'll need to be able to show the vehicle is yours to sell. We'll give you a receipt and notify the DVLA that it has changed hands.

What if the vehicle doesn't start or has no keys?

Not a problem. Everything goes on a flatbed with a winch, so it doesn't need to start, steer, brake or come out of gear. No keys is fine too — just mention it when you call so we bring the right kit.

Can you collect from a garage, a street or a field?

Yes — driveways, garages, lock-ups, car parks, roadside and land. If access is tight or the vehicle is somewhere awkward, tell us in advance and we'll plan for it rather than turn up and find we can't get to it.

Do I need to tell the DVLA?

We notify them, and you'll get paperwork confirming it. It's worth keeping — until the DVLA records the change, the vehicle is still registered to you along with any responsibility that comes with it.

How quickly can you collect?

Often the same day or the next, depending on where you are and how the week is looking. If you need it gone by a particular date — an MOT running out, a house move, a landlord chasing — say so and we'll work to it.

Do you take part-vehicles or vehicles in pieces?

Yes. Stripped shells, projects that never got finished, engines out — all still worth something. Tell us what's missing and we'll price it accordingly.

SITTING THERE? TURN IT INTO CASH.

Tell us what it is and we'll make you an offer. Collection is free.
