Outstanding service A*****
The process was very straightforward, the vehicle was collected on the day agreed - I received a call when the driver was 30 minutes away. The driver 'Darren' was knowledgeable and a complete professional. All inspections carried out, documents sorted and on his pick up in under 30 minutes. The money was processed to my bank very shortly after. Will definitely recommend and would not hesitate using your company again.

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.

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.

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.

Scrap my car in Stevenage FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in Stevenage?

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

No, you do not need to be present for collection in Stevenage. You may nominate another adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access to the vehicle, photo ID, keys where available and agreed paperwork. Tell us beforehand so the driver can complete the handover safely, securely and without avoidable delays.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You need photo ID, proof of address and evidence linking you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, receipt or service record. Ownership checks may take slightly longer before collection and secure bank-transfer payment can be arranged.

How do I avoid scrap car scams in Stevenage?
Dropdown Icon

Use a licensed, reviewed service to avoid scrap car scams in Stevenage. Unlicensed collectors may offer cash, lower the price at pickup or ignore legal paperwork. Secure bank transfer in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 keeps payment lawful, so check licensing, reviews and collection terms before agreeing. Car.co.uk provides a clear quote, licensed collection and Certificate of Destruction support when eligible, helping protect you from later DVLA, tax or ownership problems after lawful disposal of the vehicle.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Stevenage?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a SORN vehicle in Stevenage, and it does not need tax or insurance for collection. It must not be driven on a public road, so pickup should take place from private land or another legal off-road position. Where the vehicle is scrapped, DVLA notification and Certificate of Destruction support complete the documented process and end future keeper responsibility.

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

You need a V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address to scrap your car in Stevenage. If the log book is missing, other ownership evidence may be accepted after checks. We confirm what to prepare before collection, helping the handover stay clear, properly recorded and compliant at your Stevenage address without delays or unnecessary confusion on collection day.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you will receive a Certificate of Destruction within seven days when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It confirms entry into the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification removes the previous keeper from the official record and ends responsibility.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, a car with outstanding finance cannot be scrapped until the balance is settled or the lender provides written consent. The finance company keeps a legal interest in the vehicle, so contact it for a settlement figure first. Once resolved, you can complete the quote and collection process without unnecessary delays, disputes or legal complications.

Do you accept commercial vehicles in Stevenage?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we accept vans and light commercial vehicles in Stevenage, including panel vans, pick-ups and minibuses. Enter the vehicle registration and postcode to get your quote. Greater kerb weight can raise recyclable metal value, although condition, completeness, age and reusable parts also influence the final price offered for a local work vehicle.

Dropdown Icon

Yes, we accept electric and hybrid vehicles in Stevenage, including battery electric cars, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids. Trained teams manage high-voltage batteries through the authorised treatment facility process, using appropriate safety controls before dismantling and recycling.
