We received a very competitive quote from Car.co.uk for my car and from the start they were very efficient with their quote which was easy to understand. After accepting their quote they kept me fully informed of the procedure and made it clear and simple. We agreed a collection date and they arrived on time with two polite and helpful driver and assistant and they loaded my car and left very quickly. The agreed price was paid by Car.co.uk and the money was in my Bank before the driver left. I would highly recommend this Company.
⏤ Mr Gibbons
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.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Macclesfield?
On collection day, a member of our team will first check the paperwork and confirm the collection details before towing your scrap vehicle to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). While your vehicle is en route to said facility, we will send payment by bank transfer. Collections can start from a driveway, garage or roadside space anywhere in Macclesfield, including Hurdsfield, Tytherington, Broken Cross and Upton.
On arrival, the assessment team will evaluate the vehicle further before passing it over for scrapping. The first stage of the process is called depollution, which is where all hazardous materials and fluids will be drained from your vehicle, in accordance with environmental standards. Following that, your car will be stripped of all reusable and valuable parts before being passed over for crushing.
Scrap my car in Macclesfield FAQs
How much is my scrap car worth in Macclesfield?
The average price paid in Macclesfield for a scrap car is £279, but your final price will depend on several factors, including the vehicle's condition and the current value of scrap metal. For the clearest scrap car value, enter your registration and postcode for a price in under 30 seconds.
Do I need to be present for the collection in Macclesfield?
You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Macclesfield. You can nominate someone else, but they must be over 18 and have access to the vehicle and all required paperwork.
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 service history, and the checks can take slightly longer while ownership details are confirmed before the vehicle is collected and processed.
Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap my car?
No, Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification as part of the Certificate of Destruction process.
How does scrap car payment work?
The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 requires that all scrap vehicle transactions are made via bank transfer. The price you see is the price paid on collection, with no last-minute reductions, so once the paperwork is checked and the car is collected, funds are sent directly to your bank account.
What documents do I need to scrap my car in Macclesfield?
You'll need your V5C log book to scrap your car in Macclesfield, along with a photo ID and proof of address. If the V5C logbook is missing, you can usually still proceed with other supporting paperwork, and we'll guide you through the checks so everything is handled compliantly.
Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
All outstanding finance must be settled before you scrap any vehicle through Car.co.uk, unless your lender provides us with clear consent for it to be scrapped.
Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
You can keep your private number plate before scrapping, but you must arrange DVLA retention or transfer first. Apply online at the DVLA website or use a V317 form, because the registration must be removed from the vehicle before the Certificate of Destruction is issued.
What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Scrapping means the vehicle is dismantled and recycled mainly for metal value under End-of-Life Vehicle rules, while salvaging means it still has enough worth to be resold whole or broken for usable parts, sometimes including a Category S car. Car.co.uk assesses both routes and chooses the outcome that gives the owner the best return.
