When you choose Car.co.uk to retire your vehicle, you're getting a partner with over thirty years of industry expertise and access to a vast network of Coventry-based car breakers, all of which are fully-vetted and licensed Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs). This means that they are recognised for delivering high quality vehicle recycling and dismantling in line with the UK’s strict environmental standards.
We don’t use guesswork when it comes to evaluating your vehicle’s valuation. Our quotes are generated from high-level, up-to-date algorithms and data pulled from car breakers directly, giving our customers highly competitive offers on key components. Many parts will contain key raw materials that can be built into new components, so even if your car is completely finished, it may still have a lot of worth.

Connect with trusted car breakers across Coventry
At Car.co.uk, we’ve long-championed the idea that local residents are served best if they’re able to rely on local car breakers and scrapyards to help them out. We’ve built a strong network of car breakers within the vicinity of Coventry and the West Midlands area, with each carefully vetted and adhering to regulations set out in the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.
Car breakers handle all types of vehicles of all ages, making them a very versatile option for any customers. In the Coventry area, our research indicates that the oldest vehicle they have received was a 1989 Mazda MX-5 at over 36 years-old, and a Peugeot 206 that had clocked in a whopping 576,269 miles. But they’ve also taken on much newer vehicles, such as a 2017 Vauxhall Astra that was no longer economical to run but still had a lot of very valuable parts.
Local car breaker yard network built for Coventry drivers
Coventry’s climate and weather patterns can often make things tricky for new and old vehicles alike. Many months have between 12-18 rainy days, meaning vehicles are having to contend with a lot of standing water and winter road salt if they don’t have a garage to escape into. Over time, this is tough on exhausts, brake lines, and subframes.
So whether your vehicle is parked in Radford or Foleshill, on a drive in Earlsdon or Walsgrove, or off the road completely near Tile Hill or Canley, we’ll line up offers from nearby car breakers and arrange free collection. Whatever the age of mileage, if you’re finished with it, we’ll find it a home.

Did you know we can scrap all types of cars across Coventry?
At Car.co.uk, we work with Coventry car breakers that will take on all types of car makes and models. It is usually the older, well established brands such as Vauxhall, Ford, and Volkswagen, that see the highest number of vehicles being sent to a car breaker. But they are also very happy to take on some types of motorbikes and other, less conventional vehicles.
Coventry also has a long-standing connection with the automotive industry and the wider Midlands road network, meaning that we also see our fair share of well-used, high-mileage diesel vehicles. Trade vans are popular in Coventry, so we make sure that the car breakers we work with are able to accept these types of vehicles as well.

We’ve spent over thirty years working with the best car breakers across the country, and we’ve built a comprehensive service in Coventry that is geared towards convenience and simplicity. Our valuation system looks at the high-worth components and materials in your car and returns competitive, data-driven quotes without you having to phone around.
Coventry is built around driving; the A4053 ring road feeds traffic in from several major routes, with school-run congestion, peak-time queues at key junctions and regular slow-moving traffic inevitable.
The city’s need for turning in and retiring old vehicles is substantial, driven in part by the city’s Local Air Quality Action Plan which focuses on tackling pollution hotspots and encouraging greener travel. There’s even a Mobility Credits pilot that allows residents to exchange older, more polluting vehicles for credits that they can spend on public transport and shared mobility. It’s why our services are so in-demand.

Coventry car breaker FAQs
You can first check online to see whether the car breaker is registered as an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) - this is the surest sign that the facility has been recognised by the Environmental Authority as being legitimate and trustworthy, and that it follows key legislation set out in documentation such as the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.
At Car.co.uk, we only work with such facilities. So you can be sure that any quote you receive from us will come from a fully-licensed, highly-trusted car breaker.
Yes. Our established network covers the city of Coventry as well as its surrounding areas. While Coventry technically has no boroughs (it is a West Midlands borough itself), we cover broad areas including Earlsdon, Folehill, Longford, Radford, and Styvechale. Our services are also available in several of the other boroughs that make up the West Midlands.
Yes they do. If the state of your vehicle is such that there is no chance of it ever being roadworthy again, they will issue you with this key piece of documentation once they have completed their work. The Certification of Destruction is what informs the DVLA that the vehicle is no longer in your name and that you don’t need to continue paying for tax and insurance.
If a car breaker chooses to fix the car and sell it rather than dismantle it, you won’t have a need for this certification.
All Coventry-based car breakers that we work with are fully regulated by the UK government as well as local councils. Car breakers must also adhere to guidelines set out by the End-of-Life Vehicles Regulations (2003) which stipulates how they should dispose of vehicles in a sustainable and responsible manner.
As soon as we have collected your vehicle, you will receive the arranged payment via electronic bank transfer providing everything regarding the vehicle presents as we were anticipating. It’ll then be taken to your chosen facility, where it will be stripped down into its core components for recycling or disposal.
