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.

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.

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
Quick, easy, great service, decent price.
Organised it to be collected, driver (Tony) was in contact throughout the collection day to keep me posted. 10 minutes and I was paid and he was gone! Great service, Tony was very friendly and efficient. Definitely will use this service again in the future, been with WeBuyAnyCar a few times and for convenience, this blows them out of the water (all circumstantial of course). Couldn’t have asked for more, really helpful.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Kendal?
When our driver arrives, they 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 be scrapped, we will make prompt payment via bank transfer, ensuring you receive your funds before any work on your vehicle begins.
Upon arrival at the ATF, further checks are conducted, and a specialist will evaluate your car before the environmentally friendly scrapping process begins. First up is depollution, where professional technicians drain all hazardous fluids from your car, in accordance with national environmental standards. Following that, your car will be stripped of all of its reusable and valuable parts before the remaining shell is crushed.

Do I need to be present for the collection in Kendal?
You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Kendal. You can nominate someone over 18 to meet the driver, and they'll need photo ID, access to the vehicle, and any agreed 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 an alternative way to prove car ownership, such as MOT certificates or a full service history.
Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
Yes, you can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, but conditions apply. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible, or you'll need a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance, or deceased estate, plus your ID and supporting paperwork like a will, gift letter, or statutory declaration.
Can I scrap an electric or hybrid car in Kendal?
Yes, we accept EVs, hybrid cars, plug-in hybrids, mild hybrids, and all other fuel types, including battery electric vehicles. Battery handling and removal are managed by the authorised treatment facility as part of vehicle disposal regulations, so the process stays safe and compliant from collection to final dismantling.

You will need photo ID, proof of address, and an official document proving you own the vehicle to scrap your vehicle in Kendal. Ideally, this will be a V5C logbook, but we can provide guidance on alternatives if necessary.

If you request one, we can 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, or the finance company must give clear consent before the vehicle can be scrapped.
Do you accept commercial vehicles in Kendal?
Yes, we accept vans and light commercial vehicles in Kendal, including panel vans, pick-ups, and minibuses. The quote process stays the same, just enter the registration number and postcode, and many vans return a higher price than smaller vehicles because their greater kerb weight increases scrap value.
Can I scrap a car with no MOT in Kendal?
Yes, you can scrap a car with no MOT in Kendal. MOT status doesn't affect the scrap valuation or collection, as the vehicle simply needs to be accessible for pickup.
