Why choose our car breakers yard in Birmingham?
A car breakers yard in Birmingham can make the best use of your car parts, giving you cash for an old or unwanted vehicle. We partner with a range of reliable car breakers across Birmingham to make sure your vehicle is reused or disposed of responsibly, while also giving you the most competitive price available.
With a reported 6% of Birmingham roads in poor condition and further 25% needing attention, it’s no wonder drivers in the area are seeing an increase in car problems. Some of the more common issues we’ve seen have included worn tyres, weakened brakes, corroded suspension systems and rust, all thanks to the many potholes found on Brummy roads. Add this to heavy traffic and significant rainfall and you’ve got a recipe for disaster when it comes to older cars.
That’s where we come in. Instead of dealing with the expensive upkeep that comes with maintaining an older car, why not take it to a car breakers yard?

Find a trusted car breaker in Birmingham
Using a local car breaker in Birmingham has one major benefit. They know what to expect and how to properly value your car. This has become especially important since the implementation of the Clean Air Zone (CAZ) in 2021, with drivers now moving away from non-compliant cars in favour of more efficient models that won’t incur a fee every time you travel within the A4540 Middleway. Because of this, many car breakers within the area have been a lot busier and we know exactly which one is right for you.
With a wide range of car breaker yards available it can be hard to narrow down your options, but our unique algorithm can calculate the best price for the most trusted car breakers in Birmingham. Find the option that’s closest to your location at a price that’s based on the highest value components of your car.

Many of the cars we handle in Birmingham are either diesel or petrol at around 16 to 20 years old. The introduction of CAZ will have had a huge influence on this, but these vehicles are also less likely to pass their next MOT without a huge bill attached, so it makes sense that drivers are choosing to get rid.

Yes. End-of-Life Vehicles Regulations 2003 states that car breakers must provide a Certificate of Destruction for any car that has been completely disposed of. This is needed to let the DVLA know that the vehicle can be removed from their records. However, if the car breaker chooses to fix and resell your car, a Certificate of Destruction is not needed.
Yes, the Environment Agency and Birmingham City Council both regulate all car breaker yards in Birmingham, ensuring that every single one has a valid licence and complies with the latest guidance set out in the Scrap Metal Dealer’s Act 2013 and End-of-Life Vehicle regulations. This provides a guarantee that your vehicle will be handled in accordance with UK law.
Once a car breaker has your car, they’ll inspect it to see which parts can be salvaged or resold, then they’ll safely destroy what’s left in the most responsible and eco-friendly way. So, if you had a car with worn out brakes and tyres due to the many potholes in Birmingham, a car breaker will likely scrap those parts and look for ways to reuse your working battery.
