Highly recommend - 10/10 service
Whole process was really easy and completely fuss free from start to finish. Entered my postcode and registration online and was given a price straight away without having to sign up to anything. The price offered was better than anywhere else. Selected a date and time that suited me for collection and booked in a matter of minutes. Really clear information was given about the collection process via email. Collection day arrived and the guy who came was really friendly. Quick check of the car, loaded onto the truck and received the money within minutes. I would highly recommend this company as it was so easy, no hidden terms and conditions and an all round great experience.

Car.co.uk gave me a reasonable price
Car.co.uk gave me a reasonable price to scrap my car, all the booking online was straightforward and they were able to collect it the next working day. The driver let me know exactly when he was coming and 2 minutes after he had arrived, the car was gone with no issues. He was very polite and friendly. No complaints :)

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.

Scrap my car in Ellesmere Port FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in Ellesmere Port?
Dropdown Icon

The average price paid in Ellesmere Port for a scrap car is £285, but that has no bearing on the final price you will receive for your vehicle, which is based on several factors including its weight and the current value of scrap metal. To check your scrap car value, enter your registration and postcode for a fixed price in under 30 seconds.

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

You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Ellesmere Port. You can nominate someone over 18 to meet the driver, as long as they have access to the vehicle and all required documents.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. We'll usually ask for photo ID, proof of address, and supporting records such as MOT certificates or service history to help confirm ownership. The extra checks can make the process take slightly longer than a standard vehicle sale.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Ellesmere Port?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a SORN vehicle in Ellesmere Port, and it doesn't need to be taxed or insured for collection. A SORN car mustn't be driven on a public road, so we'll collect it from a private or off-road address.

Do you accept commercial vehicles in Ellesmere Port?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we accept vans and light commercial vehicles in Ellesmere Port, including panel vans, pick-ups, and minibuses. Given the town's port and logistics traffic around the M53 and Cheshire Oaks connection, work vehicles are common here, but the quote process stays the same regardless of your vehicle type.

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

You'll need photo ID and proof of address to scrap your vehicle in Ellesmere Port, while your V5C logbook will make the process much quicker. Missing paperwork doesn't always stop the sale, and we can advise on suitable alternatives if anything is missing.

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. Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification automatically, and once issued, the CoD removes the previous owner from the DVLA register, ending further responsibility.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

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

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

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.

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

No, missing keys are common and won't stop collection or change the quoted price. Recovery teams load the vehicle using specialist equipment.
