A Top-Tier Car Selling Experience
I just sold my car with Car.co.uk and I have to say, the whole process was incredibly smooth. I got an online quote, and everything went exactly as they said it would. The collection was scheduled at my house, which was super convenient. The driver was a true professional—they were not only efficient but also very kind. As soon as the car was collected, the payment landed in my bank account immediately, which was a fantastic surprise. I highly recommend Car.co.uk for anyone looking to sell their car without any hassle.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dropdown Icon

You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Hounslow. You can nominate someone over 18 to meet the driver, as long as they have access to the vehicle plus the required documents or identification details.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll usually need photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting paperwork such as MOT certificates or service history. Without a logbook, the checks can take slightly longer before collection and transfer are completed.

Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can keep your private number plate before scrapping the vehicle. Apply to retain my reg through the DVLA website or with a V317 form, and make sure the retention or transfer is completed before the Certificate of Destruction is issued.

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, so you only need to provide your V5C logbook details. Once the Certificate of Destruction is issued, the previous keeper is removed from the register, and further responsibility ends.

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

You'll need your V5C log book to scrap your car in Hounslow, along with a photo ID and proof of address. Missing your V5C logbook doesn't stop the sale, but it can slow it down while you look for alternatives.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

All outstanding finance must be settled first, unless the finance company gives consent for the vehicle to be scrapped.

Do I need to provide keys for my car?
Dropdown Icon

No, you don't need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are common and won't prevent collection or change the quoted price, as the vehicle can still be loaded with specialist equipment.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment is made by bank transfer, as per the rules set out in the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Cash payments for scrap vehicles aren't permitted, and the quoted price is the price paid on collection, with no last-minute reductions if the vehicle matches the details you've provided.
