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 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.

Easy to contact by phone
Easy to contact by phone. All the staff I spoke to were polite and helpful. All arrangements were confirmed in writing and timescales were kept to. The collection went well, he kept me informed and was very . professionalRidiculous as it may seem I was sad to scrap my car but they made it a painless experience.

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.

Scrap my car in Newmarket FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in Newmarket?
Dropdown Icon

The average price for a scrap car in Newmarket is £257. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, current metal rates and salvageable parts. Missing components and demand for reusable parts can also change the result. Enter your registration and postcode to see the price for your scrap and decide whether the offer suits you.

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

No, you do not need to be present when we collect your car in Newmarket. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access to the vehicle, photo ID, keys if available and the agreed paperwork. Tell us beforehand so collection can proceed smoothly.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You will need photo ID, proof of address and evidence connecting you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, purchase receipt or service record. Ownership checks may take slightly longer before collection is confirmed.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Newmarket?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a SORN vehicle in Newmarket. It does not need tax or insurance for collection, but it must not be driven on a public road. We collect it from a private or off-road address, and the Certificate of Destruction updates the DVLA record and ends the SORN status automatically.

How long does it take to scrap my car in Newmarket?
Dropdown Icon

Same-day or next-day collection is available in most Newmarket cases, depending on booking time and access. Your quote takes around 30 seconds, you choose a slot during booking, and bank transfer payment is released at handover. Traffic around A14 Junction 37 can affect arrival times, while a requested Certificate of Destruction is normally issued within seven days.

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

You normally need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address. If the log book is missing, alternative vehicle paperwork may be accepted after ownership checks. We explain what to prepare before collection and which supporting records may help, keeping the Newmarket handover clear, secure and compliant.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

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

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance must be settled before the vehicle is scrapped unless the lender provides written consent. The finance company retains a legal interest in the car, so contact it, confirm the settlement figure and check the agreement first. Once the balance is cleared or permission is provided, collection can be arranged.

What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping means the vehicle is dismantled and recycled mainly for metal value under the ELV rules. Salvaging means it still has enough value to be resold whole or broken for usable parts. Car.co.uk compares both routes and chooses the option that should provide the stronger return.

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

No, Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification as part of the Certificate of Destruction process. You provide the V5C details during handover, and when the record is completed the previous keeper is removed from the register, ending responsibility for the vehicle.
