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.

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.

Scrap my car in Heswall FAQs

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

The average price paid in Heswall for a scrap car is £284, although your price depends on weight, condition, make, model, current metal prices, and whether it has salvage value rather than being weighed in only. Older or damaged vehicles can still return competitive scrap car prices, so enter your registration and postcode for a quote in under 30 seconds.

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

You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Heswall. You can nominate another adult to meet the driver, and they'll need access to the vehicle and any agreed paperwork so the handover can go ahead without delay.

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

You can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. We'll usually ask for photo ID, proof of address, and anything else that helps confirm ownership, such as MOT certificates or a full service history.

Which areas of Heswall do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

We cover all postcodes within Heswall, including Lower Heswall and Gayton, and we provide free collection from any home, workplace, or roadside address. We also cover surrounding areas, so enter your postcode to confirm availability straight away.

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

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.

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

You'll need your photo ID and proof of address to scrap your car in Heswall. A V5C log book is also desirable to prove vehicle ownership, but we can usually proceed with alternatives, and we can guide you through this if it applies to you.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

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

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

All outstanding finance must be settled first, unless the finance company gives consent for the vehicle to be scrapped. Lenders keep a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends, so your next step is to contact the provider, confirm the balance, and we'll help once clearance is in place.

Do you accept commercial vehicles in Heswall?
Dropdown Icon

We accept vans and light commercial vehicles in Heswall, including panel vans, pick-ups, and minibuses. Getting a price works the same way as for a car; just enter the registration number and postcode. Many vans are worth more money due to their greater kerb weight.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment is made by bank transfer, not cash, because the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 bans cash payments for scrap vehicles. The price you see is the price paid on collection, with no last-minute reductions. Your funds are sent directly to your nominated account once the vehicle and paperwork have been checked.
