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.

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.
⏤ Claire
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.
⏤ Tracy Metcalfe
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.

Collections can start from any driveway, garage, or roadside space in Wandsworth, including Balham, Battersea, Earlsfield, and Putney. We will arrive at your selected time, confirm your vehicle's details and then take it to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility for scrapping.

The first stage of the scrapping process is called depollution. This is where skilled technicians drain your vehicle of all hazardous fluids and materials, in line with environmental standards.

At least 85% of your car is recycled and up to 95% is reused.
Scrap my car in Wandsworth FAQs
How much is my scrap car worth in Wandsworth?
The average price paid in Wandsworth for a scrap car is £269, but this does not affect your quote. Your price is based on several factors, including your vehicle's weight and current metal prices. Vehicles with reusable parts may be worth more through salvage than scrap, so check your scrap car value today for the full picture.
Do I need to be present for the collection in Wandsworth?
You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Wandsworth. You can nominate another adult to hand over the vehicle, and they should have ID and all pre-agreed documents to hand.
Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
You can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll usually need photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting records such as MOT certificates or a full service history to help confirm ownership.
Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
You can scrap a vehicle not in your name, but conditions apply. The registered keeper should give written authority, or you must show a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance, or a deceased estate. You'll need proof of identity, authorisation where possible, plus supporting documents such as a will, gift letter, or statutory declaration. Car.co.uk can advise before booking.
Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
You can keep your private number plate before scrapping, but you must apply to retain it through the DVLA retention or transfer process.
What documents do I need to scrap my car in Wandsworth?
You'll need your V5C log book to scrap your car in Wandsworth, along with a photo ID and proof of address. If your V5C logbook is missing, you can sometimes still proceed with alternative paperwork. If this applies to you, we will guide you on the next steps.
Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
If you request one, we will issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
All outstanding finance must be settled first, unless the finance company consents to the vehicle being scrapped. Lenders retain a legal interest until the agreement ends, so your next step is to contact them for settlement or written approval. We'll explain what evidence is needed before booking.
What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Scrapping means a vehicle is dismantled and recycled mainly for metal value under the ELV directive. Salvaging means it still has enough worth to be resold whole or broken for parts. Car.co.uk assesses both routes to choose the best outcome for the owner.
Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Wandsworth?
You can scrap a SORN vehicle in Wandsworth, and it doesn't need to be taxed or insured for collection. It must not be driven on a public road, so it should be picked up from a private or off-road address.
