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.

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.

We received a very competitive quote…
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.

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.

Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?

Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
Dropdown Icon

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 to show a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance, or deceased estate, along with your ID and supporting paperwork like a will, gift letter, or statutory declaration.

Can I scrap a car with no MOT in Middleton?

If you request one, we can issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

In the vast majority of cases, you must clear all outstanding finance before you scrap your vehicle. The only exception to this rule is if the lender provides clear consent for the vehicle to be scrapped.

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

Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification automatically when the Certificate of Destruction is processed, so you do not need to contact the DVLA.

What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping means the vehicle is dismantled and recycled for metal value under End-of-Life Vehicle rules. Salvaging means the car still has enough worth to be resold as a whole vehicle or broken for usable parts. Car.co.uk assesses both routes to choose the best outcome and price for the owner.
