Great service
I recently had my old car collected and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, everything was handled smoothly and I was kept informed throughout the whole process. The driver, Roy, was excellent – really friendly, professional, and informative, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. The payment was transferred instantly upon collection, which was a huge plus. Overall, a fantastic service and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to scrap their car.

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.

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.

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.

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

Tell us beforehand so collection can proceed securely and the bank transfer can be released without delays on the day.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C log book in many cases. You need photo ID, proof of address and evidence connecting you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, purchase receipt or service history. Ownership checks may take slightly longer before collection and secure payment can be arranged.

Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a car that is not registered in your name, but conditions apply. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible, or you must show a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance or deceased estate, with photo ID and supporting evidence before collection can be approved.

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

Use a licensed, reviewed service to avoid scrap car scams in Bexley. Warning signs include cash-in-hand offers, unlicensed collectors, pressure to hand over the vehicle quickly, missing paperwork and last-minute price reductions at pickup. Legitimate scrap payments are made by bank transfer under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Check reviews, confirm the collection partner is licensed, make sure the agreed price is written down and ask how DVLA records will be updated. A regulated service should also provide a Certificate of Destruction when the eligible vehicle is scrapped.

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

You normally need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address to scrap a car in Bexley. If it is missing, alternative ownership evidence may be accepted after checks.

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 the car entered the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification 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 usually be settled before a vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender gives written consent. The finance provider retains a legal interest, so contact it and check the agreement first. Once the balance or permission is resolved, you can complete the quote and collection process without unnecessary delays.

Which areas of Bexley do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

All Bexley postcodes are covered, including Bexleyheath, Abbey Wood, Erith, Belvedere and Crayford. Free collection is available from a home, workplace, driveway or safe roadside address. Enter your postcode during the quote process and we will confirm local availability, including suitable surrounding areas, before you book.

We can arrange pickup from a private driveway, garage, storage compound or another off-road address with safe recovery access. Once the eligible vehicle is processed and DVLA records are updated, the SORN ends and the previous keeper’s responsibility is closed.
