Looking to scrap your car in Runcorn? Pick Up buys scrap, broken and unwanted vehicles across Runcorn (WA7) and the surrounding area, collects them free and pays the same day. Note the Mersey Gateway is tolled in both directions, which we factor into a Runcorn quote rather than adding afterwards.
What we buy in Runcorn
Cars, vans, 4x4s, motorbikes, quad bikes, ride-on mowers, go karts, off-road buggies, campervans and trailers. Condition genuinely doesn't matter — non-runners, MOT failures, accident damaged, engine or gearbox gone, stood for years, no keys, or stripped for parts.
If it's sitting on a driveway in Runcorn taking up space, it's worth asking. It costs nothing to find out, and we'd rather tell you straight than waste your time. See everything we take.
What it's worth
There's no fixed price, because there honestly isn't one. An offer depends on the make, model, age, condition and what scrap metal is fetching that week. We won't quote a headline figure on a vehicle we haven't seen — 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. The figure we agree is the figure that lands in your account: no collection charge, no admin fee, and nothing knocked off when we arrive.
Collection in Runcorn
Runcorn is around 16 road miles from our Chester base, so it's a short run for us and collection is free. Everything goes on a flatbed with a winch, so the vehicle doesn't need to start, steer or brake.
We collect from:
- Driveways, garages and lock-ups
- Roadside and car parks around M56 junctions 11 and 12
- Yards, land and farm buildings
- Garages, body shops and storage units
Tell us if access is tight when you get in touch, rather than finding out on the day. Local roads we work from include:
- M56 junctions 11 and 12

Cash for scrap cars in Runcorn? Here's how it actually works
If you've searched for "scrap my car for cash", here's the straight answer: nobody can legally hand you cash for a scrap vehicle. Paying cash for scrap has been illegal in England and Wales since 2013, so anyone in Runcorn offering you notes on the doorstep isn't operating legally — and you'd have no proof you ever sold them the vehicle.
What you get instead is a bank transfer, sent before the vehicle is loaded and usually in your account the same day. Same money, properly traceable, and you're covered.
You get a receipt, and we notify the DVLA that the vehicle has changed hands. Until that's recorded, it's still registered to you along with everything that comes with it.
Common questions in Runcorn
How much will you pay to scrap my car in Runcorn?
It depends on the make, model, age, condition and the current scrap metal price, which moves week to week. Send us the details and a photo or two and we'll give you a real figure rather than a headline number we'd have to walk back later.
Is collection in Runcorn really free?
Yes. Runcorn is about 16 road miles from our Chester base and sits well inside our area. Collection isn't charged for and isn't deducted from your offer.
Will you take it if it doesn't start?
Yes. Everything is winched onto a flatbed, so the vehicle 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 equipment.
How soon can you collect from Runcorn?
Often the same day or the next, depending on how the week is looking. If you need it gone by a particular date, say so and we'll work to it.
