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.

They do what they say they do. Excellent.
I was contacted well in advance regarding the collection of my vehicle. Steve the driver phoned me and asked if he could collect sooner than booked. This was OK with me. When he arrived he was friendly and courteous and because of the advanced notification, gave me time to have everything ready for the handover. The money was transferred to my account within minutes. A great service and one that I would recommend to anyone wanting to dispose of a vehicle.

Very easy transaction.
Very easy transaction. Easy to book, collection person phoned to say exactly what time they were arriving. I just left him to it and collection took around 10 mins including taking photos of my id and the car. Sad to see my car go as its been a really good car but too much wrong with it now. Payment was not immediate, took around an hour and a half. No fuss, no sweat, very easy.

They arranged collection at a time that suited me, and the driver was polite and efficient. What really stood out was how quickly they transferred the payment — the money went straight into my bank account immediately after the car was collected. There was no hassle, no hidden fees, and everything was exactly as promised. If you’re looking for a smooth, no-stress way to scrap your car and get paid on the spot, I’d definitely recommend this service.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Borehamwood?
When we arrive to collect your vehicle, we will first carry out some checks to ensure the paperwork matches the vehicle. Following that, we will tow your scrap vehicle to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), where the environmentally friendly scrapping process will take place. While we are en route to the facility, you will receive your funds via bank transfer.
On arrival at the ATF, the assessment team checks your against the documents the driver has already confirmed, before any further work starts. The first stage of the scrapping process is depollution, where professional technicians drain your car of all hazardous materials and fluids. Next, they will dismantle your vehicle and set aside all valuable and reusable parts before the remaining shell is crushed.

Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?

Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
Yes, you can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, but conditions apply. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible, or you'll need to show a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance, or deceased estate, along with your ID and supporting paperwork like a will, gift letter, or statutory declaration. Car.co.uk can advise before booking.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
