Excellent service from start to finish
Excellent service from start to finish. Selected the exact day I wanted the vehicle picking up. Had a message on day of collection saying the drivers name and that he was on his way. Within no time he was here and very friendly and professional. Car was loaded and within 2 minutes of paperwork completed the money was in my account.

Quick and Convenient Vehicle Scrappage
This was a quick and easy way to scrap our old vehicle. The online evaluation check was useful and produced a similar price to what we expected. It only took a few moments to book a collection date and time, and this was confirmed via text and email. On collection day I was texted further confirmation and called by the driver to inform of his eta. The driver was informative and professional. The purchase was accepted and the payment okayed, with the money transferred immediately. Overall, and great service and would recommend.

Highly recommended !!
Car.co.uk offered the best price by far out of all the sites I had got quotes from. The whole process was really easy to arrange and sort out a collection. I had a few enquiries and the different guys that I spoke to at customer enquiries was really friendly and helpful. I asked for an early/ first pick up and was told they would do their best. The night before I received a text asking if a 6:30am pick up would be possible. I agreed. Earlier the better for me. The morning of the pick up I had a call from the driver (John) who informed me he wasn’t far and sure enough he arrived on the agreed time. When he arrived he was so helpful and really friendly. The car was on the back of the lorry and paperwork sorted all within 15 mins. Can’t recommend these guys enough and I would definitely use again.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Sleaford?
Collections can start from any driveway, garage or roadside space in Sleaford, including Quarrington, Holdingham and Mareham. On vehicle collection day, the first thing we do is confirm the collection details and check that the vehicle matches your description. If this is all okay, we will then tow your vehicle to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) for scrapping, and make payment via bank transfer.
The first stage of the scrapping process is depollution, where skilled technicians drain your vehicle of all hazardous materials and fluids, in line with environmental standards. Next, all reusable and valuable parts are removed and set aside before the remaining shell is crushed and shredded on site. At least 85% of your car is recycled and up to 95% is reused.

Do I need to be present for the collection in Sleaford?
You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Sleaford. You can nominate someone else to meet the driver, but they must be over 18 and have access to the vehicle and any pre-agreed documents.
Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll usually need photo ID, proof of address and any supporting records such as MOT certificates or a full service history.
Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
You can keep your private number plate before scrapping, but you must apply to retain your registration number or transfer it through DVLA before the vehicle is processed. Use the DVLA website or a V317 form, and make sure the plate is removed before any Certificate of Destruction is issued.
Can I scrap a car with no MOT in Sleaford?
You can scrap a car with no MOT in Sleaford. MOT status doesn't affect the scrap valuation or collection.
What documents do I need to scrap my car in Sleaford?
You'll need photo ID, proof of address and proof of ownership to scrap your vehicle in Sleaford. The easiest way to prove vehicle ownership is with a V5C logbook.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
All outstanding finance must be settled first, unless the finance company gives clear consent for the vehicle to be scrapped. Lenders keep a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends, so check with them first, and we'll help you understand the next step.
How does scrap car payment work?
Payment is made by bank transfer, not in cash, in accordance with the guidelines of the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. The price quoted is the price paid on collection, with no last-minute reductions, so you know exactly what you'll receive before the driver arrives.
Do I need to provide keys for my car?
You don't need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are common; they won't prevent collection or change the quoted price.
