Highly recommend - 10/10 service
Whole process was really easy and completely fuss free from start to finish. Entered my postcode and registration online and was given a price straight away without having to sign up to anything. The price offered was better than anywhere else. Selected a date and time that suited me for collection and booked in a matter of minutes. Really clear information was given about the collection process via email. Collection day arrived and the guy who came was really friendly. Quick check of the car, loaded onto the truck and received the money within minutes. I would highly recommend this company as it was so easy, no hidden terms and conditions and an all round great experience.

We received a very competitive quote…
We received a very competitive quote from Car.co.uk for my car and from the start they were very efficient with their quote which was easy to understand. After accepting their quote they kept me fully informed of the procedure and made it clear and simple. We agreed a collection date and they arrived on time with two polite and helpful driver and assistant and they loaded my car and left very quickly. The agreed price was paid by Car.co.uk and the money was in my Bank before the driver left. I would highly recommend this Company.

First class company
There's a very good reason why this company has such a high trust pilot rating, and it's not because of bots or ai fake reviews!! It's nice to leave a good review for a genuinely well run and professional outfit. Firstly , they offer the best price. Secondly , no sucking in of air or false advertising, put in reg, they give you a price, simple.... The pick up driver Shaun was very polite, concise and to the point. From begining to end a good experience, and a well deserved reputation.

Scrap my car in Kirkby in Ashfield FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in Kirkby in Ashfield?
Dropdown Icon

The average price paid for scrap cars in Kirkby in Ashfield is £274. Prices depend on vehicle weight, condition, make, and model, scrap metal prices, and whether the vehicle has salvageable parts rather than scrap only. Check your scrap car value online in under 30 seconds to see the best prices for your vehicle.

Do I need to be present for the collection in Kirkby in Ashfield?
Dropdown Icon

No, you don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Kirkby in Ashfield. You can ask someone else to hand over the vehicle on your behalf, but they must be over 18 and have access to the keys. We'll explain exactly what they need so the handover goes smoothly and stress free.

Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook, but in its place you'll need photo ID, proof of address, and supporting paperwork such as MOT certificates or service history to help confirm ownership. The scrapping process can take slightly longer without the logbook.

Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can keep your private number plate before scrapping a vehicle in Kirkby in Ashfield. You'll need to apply to retain or transfer it through the DVLA before the car can be processed, either online on the DVLA website or by filling out a V317 form. The registration must be removed before a Certificate of Destruction is issued.

Do you accept commercial vehicles in Kirkby in Ashfield?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we accept vans and light commercial vehicles in Kirkby in Ashfield, including panel vans, pick-ups, and minibuses. The quote process is the same as for any other scrap vehicle; you only need to provide the registration number and your postcode to get an instant quote. Larger kerb weight often means a higher scrap price than many standard cars. Keep in mind that narrow roads, such as around Kirkby Folly Road and Market Place, can affect the recovery of larger vehicles in certain cases.

What documents do I need to scrap my car in Kirkby in Ashfield?
Dropdown Icon

You'll need your V5C logbook, proof of address, and photo ID to scrap your car in Kirkby in Ashfield. Your V5C logbook will help us process the paperwork faster. If you don't have the logbook, you can still proceed with alternative documents, and we'll guide you through the extra checks and forms needed.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request a Certificate of Destruction, we'll send one out within 7 days of processing. Car.co.uk will notify the DVLA automatically, and the CoD will remove you as the previous owner from the DVLA register, ending further responsibility for the vehicle.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, you'll need to pay off any outstanding balance before scrapping a financed car. Lenders keep a legal interest in cars they finance until your agreement with them ends, so the next step is to contact them for permission, and we'll help you understand what evidence is needed.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment for a scrap vehicle is only ever made by bank transfer, never in cash. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, paying cash for cars is prohibited. The quoted price is the price paid on collection, with no last-minute reductions as long as the details you entered match the vehicle we collect.

Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap my car?
Dropdown Icon

No, Car.co.uk notifies the DVLA during the Certificate of Destruction process, which means you only need to provide your V5C logbook details. The CoD removes you as the previous owner from the DVLA register for the vehicle, ending further responsibility.
