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.

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.

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.

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.

Scrap my car in Merseyside FAQs

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

The average local scrap price is £285. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, current metal rates and reusable parts. Enter your car registration and postcode to see current scrap car prices, check the price for your scrap and decide whether the offer gives you the best scrap car deal for your vehicle. Live figures reflect salvage demand and vehicle condition too.

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

No, you do not need to be present for collection in Merseyside. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access to the vehicle, photo ID and agreed paperwork. Tell us beforehand who will meet the driver so the handover can go ahead securely on the day.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You usually need photo ID, proof of address and evidence connecting you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, purchase receipt or service records. Ownership checks can take longer before collection is approved.

Do you accept commercial vehicles in Merseyside?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, vans and light commercial vehicles are accepted in Merseyside, including panel vans, pick-ups and minibuses. Enter the registration and postcode as normal to get a valuation. Heavier commercial vehicles can sometimes return more because kerb weight, reusable parts and overall condition affect the final price. Port and delivery use can also mean higher mileage locally.

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

No, you don't need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are common and won't prevent collection or change the quoted price, because the vehicle can still be loaded with specialist equipment and its condition, age and weight are what usually determine the final figure.

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

You normally need the V5C logbook, photo ID and proof of address. If the logbook is missing, collection may still be possible once alternative ownership evidence is checked. Service records or purchase documents can help support ownership, and we explain what to prepare before pickup. This keeps collection records clear from the outset.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, a Certificate of Destruction is issued when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It confirms the car entered the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification helps remove the previous keeper from the record and brings responsibility to an end.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance normally needs to be settled before the vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender provides clear permission. The finance company retains a legal interest until the agreement ends, so contact it for a settlement figure or written consent before arranging collection. Once resolved, the quote and pickup process can continue.

How do I avoid scrap car scams in Merseyside?
Dropdown Icon

No, you do not always need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are common and may not prevent collection because specialist recovery equipment can load the vehicle safely. Tell us before booking so the collection partner knows what access and equipment will be required.

Which areas of Merseyside do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we cover postcodes across Merseyside, including Liverpool, Sefton, Wirral, Knowsley and St Helens. Collection can be arranged from a home, workplace, driveway or another safe recovery point, so enter your postcode to confirm the options available at your address before booking.
