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.

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.

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.
