Excellent service from start to finish. Selected the exact day I wanted the vehicle picking up. Had a message on day of collection saying the drivers name and that he was on his way.

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.

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.

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.

Scrap my car in Sale FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in Sale?
Dropdown Icon

The average price for a scrap vehicle in Sale is £289. Your final car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, metal rates and reusable parts. Enter your registration and postcode to see the price for your scrap, compare scrap car prices and decide whether the offer gives the best scrap car deal before collection.

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

No, you do not need to be present when we collect the vehicle. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access, photo ID and agreed documents. Tell us beforehand so the driver knows who will complete the handover and collection can proceed smoothly at your chosen Sale address.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You need photo ID, proof of address and evidence connecting you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, receipt or service record. Ownership checks may take slightly longer before collection and secure payment can be arranged safely and properly.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car that is not registered in your name, but conditions apply. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible, or you need a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance or deceased estate. Bring photo ID and supporting paperwork, such as a will, gift letter or statutory declaration, so ownership can be checked before booking.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment is made by bank transfer, not cash. Scrap payments must be cash-free under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, and the agreed price is paid on collection when the vehicle matches its description. This gives you a clear record of the transaction and avoids last-minute cash deductions during the handover.

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

You need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address to complete the sale. If the logbook is missing, alternative ownership evidence may be accepted after checks. We explain what to prepare before collection, helping the handover remain properly recorded and compliant at your Sale address without unnecessary delays or paperwork problems on collection day.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, a Certificate of Destruction is issued within seven days when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It confirms the car entered the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification removes the previous keeper from the register and ends further responsibility.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance must be settled before the vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender gives written consent. The finance provider retains a legal interest, so contact it and check the agreement first. Once the balance or permission is resolved, you can complete the quote and collection process without later ownership problems, delays or confusion after handover.

What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping means the vehicle is dismantled and recycled mainly for metal value under end-of-life rules. Salvaging means it still has enough value to be resold whole or broken for usable parts. Car.co.uk assesses both routes, so a repairable or damaged vehicle can follow the option that gives the owner better value.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Sale?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a SORN vehicle in Sale. Tax and insurance are not needed for collection, but the vehicle mustn't be driven on a public road. Pickup should take place from private land. When the vehicle is scrapped and eligible, DVLA notification and the Certificate of Destruction close the record and remove SORN status.
