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.

Excellent service from start to finish
Excellent service from start to finish. Selected the exact day I wanted the vehicle picking up. Had a message on day of collection saying the drivers name and that he was on his way. Within no time he was here and very friendly and professional. Car was loaded and within 2 minutes of paperwork completed the money was in my account.

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.

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 Hillingdon FAQs

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

You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Hillingdon. You can nominate another adult to hand the vehicle over, provided they have all of the relevant paperwork.

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

You can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. Photo ID and proof of address are usually needed, and MOT certificates or a full service history can help support ownership details.

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

Scrap car scams are a genuine risk in Hillingdon, so avoid cash-in-hand deals, unlicensed collectors and last-minute price drops on collection day. Legitimate payments are made by bank transfer under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Car.co.uk offers a safer route with a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating from 15,000+ reviews.

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

You do not need to contact the DVLA after you have scrapped your car, as Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification as part of the Certificate of Destruction process.

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

You'll need photo ID and proof of address to scrap your Hillingdon. The process is also quicker if you have your V5C log book, but we can usually proceed without one, provided you have another way to prove vehicle ownership.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

If you request one, we will issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

All outstanding finance must usually be settled first, unless the finance company gives consent for the vehicle to be disposed of. Lenders keep a legal interest until the agreement ends, so check with them before booking, and once clearance is confirmed, we'll help you move ahead with the sale.

Which areas of Hillingdon do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

All postcodes within Hillingdon are covered, including areas such as Uxbridge, Ickenham, Cowley, Yiewsley and West Drayton. Free collection is available from any address, and we also cover the surrounding area, so enter your postcode to confirm availability straight away.

What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping means the vehicle is dismantled and recycled for its metal value under the ELV directive, while salvaging means it still has enough worth to be resold whole or broken for parts. Car.co.uk assesses both routes, including cases involving a salvage title car, and chooses the outcome that returns the best value for the owner.
