Connecting drivers with vetted Peterborough car breakers
Take rainfall for example, which plays a massive role in vehicle ageing. Met Office averages indicate that Peterborough gets an average of 950mm of rainfall per year. While this isn’t near the very top of the nationwide list, it’s still enough rain to cause corrosion, brake performance issues, and tyre wear. This is particularly true for older vehicles.
That’s where we come in. So whether your vehicle is slugging it out in the city centre, parked up on a street in Bretton or making regular trips through Hampton, 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.

Peterborough car breaker FAQs
All of the car breakers that you’ll find on our system are Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) - this means that they are fully-licensed and have been recognised to adhere to strict standards and regulation. So no matter which offer you select, you can be sure that the car breaker is a trusted operation.
Yes we do. We cover all of the major wards within Peterborough. These include the city centre as well as the surrounding areas of Dogsthorpe, Werrington, Hampton, Walton, and everywhere in between.
Yes they do. If your vehicle is evaluated by a car breaker and deemed no longer salvageable or roadworthy, it is completely broken down. If this happens, you should receive a Certificate of Destruction (CoD). This is an important document as it informs the DVLA that you are no longer the rightful owner of the vehicle and that you should no longer be paying tax on it.
If a car breaker decides to fix up and resell the vehicle, you will not receive this certification.
Yes they are. All legitimate car breakers must follow guidance and compliance standards set out by the Environmental Agency, with many also needing to satisfy local requirements. This includes guidelines from the End-of-Life Vehicle Regulations (2003) which stipulates that, among other things, all facilities are expected to make sure at least 95% of the total car mass is recycled or reused in some way.
As soon as we’ve collected your vehicle, it’s taken to the designated car breaker. You’ll receive your funds as soon as we’ve confirmed that the vehicle is what we were expecting to collect via bank transfer. From there, your vehicle will be dismantled by the car breaker into its usable components.
