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.

Quick, easy, great service, decent price.
Organised it to be collected, driver (Tony) was in contact throughout the collection day to keep me posted. 10 minutes and I was paid and he was gone! Great service, Tony was very friendly and efficient. Definitely will use this service again in the future, been with WeBuyAnyCar a few times and for convenience, this blows them out of the water (all circumstantial of course). Couldn’t have asked for more, really helpful.

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.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Kirkby?
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

In most cases, all outstanding finance must be settled unless the lender provides written consent for the vehicle to be scrapped. Lenders keep a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends, so the best next step is to contact them for settlement details or written permission, and we'll help you understand what evidence is needed before booking.

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

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

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

Avoid cash-in-hand deals, unlicensed collectors, and last-minute price drops on collection day. Legitimate payments are made by bank transfer, not in cash, under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, and scrap car scams in Kirkby are a genuine risk, especially when quick roadside pickups are offered along busy routes such as the A506. Car.co.uk is a safer route with a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating from 15,000+ reviews.
