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.

First class company
There's a very good reason why this company has such a high trust pilot rating, and it's not because of bots or ai fake reviews!! It's nice to leave a good review for a genuinely well run and professional outfit. Firstly , they offer the best price. Secondly , no sucking in of air or false advertising, put in reg, they give you a price, simple.... The pick up driver Shaun was very polite, concise and to the point. From begining to end a good experience, and a well deserved reputation.

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.

Scrap my car in Liverpool FAQs

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

The average price paid in Liverpool for a scrap car is £288, although your price can be higher or lower depending on weight, condition, make, model and current scrap metal prices. Cars with reusable parts may achieve more as salvage rather than pure recycling, so check your scrap car value online and get a quote in under 30 seconds.

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

Not always; if you can’t be present, you can nominate someone over 18 to hand over the forms and sign on your behalf. Being there is easiest, but life doesn’t always line up neatly with collection windows. As long as everything’s in order, the collection can still go ahead without a fuss.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car in Liverpool without a V5C logbook. It’s smoother with the logbook, but if it’s missing, we’ll ask for a paper trail instead - photo ID, proof of address, MOT certificates, service history, receipts, insurance documents, that sort of thing. The aim is simply to confirm you’re the rightful owner, and that takes a bit more checking than a V5C would.

How long does it take to scrap my car in Liverpool?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping a car in Liverpool can usually be arranged within 24 to 48 hours, with same-day or next-day collection often available across the city and surrounding areas. You can get a quote online in under 30 seconds, choose your collection slot during the quote process, and payment by bank transfer is triggered when your vehicle is collected. If required, a Certificate of Destruction is normally issued after the vehicle has been processed by a licensed ATF.

Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap my car?
Dropdown Icon

No, Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification as part of the Certificate of Destruction process, so you only need to provide your V5C logbook details. Once issued, the CoD removes the previous owner from the DVLA register and ends further responsibility for the vehicle.

Which areas of Liverpool do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

We cover the whole city and surrounding areas - anywhere within the Liverpool postcode range. That includes the city centre, Anfield, Walton, Kensington, Toxteth, Wavertree, Aigburth, Allerton, Childwall, West Derby, Speke, Garston, Kirkdale and plenty more besides.

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

You’ll mainly need your V5C logbook, as well as proof of address and photographic ID. If you don’t have the V5C, don’t panic - we can still help, it just means we’ll need alternative proof of ownership and it can take a bit longer to finalise.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within 7 days of processing. Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification automatically, and once issued the CoD removes the previous owner from the DVLA register so further responsibility ends.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

You should not scrap a car while it still has outstanding finance without permission from the finance company. In many finance agreements, the lender has a legal interest in the vehicle until the balance is paid, so scrapping it without approval could breach your contract and may be treated as fraud. Always contact the finance provider first to confirm whether the car can be settled, transferred or scrapped.

Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can keep your private number plate before scrapping the vehicle. You'll need to apply for retention or transfer with DVLA before disposal, either online or with a V317 form, because the registration must be removed before the Certificate of Destruction is issued.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Liverpool?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a SORN vehicle in Liverpool, and it doesn't need tax or insurance for collection. It must not be driven on a public road, so collection needs to be from a private or off-road address, and once you've accepted an instant scrap quote, the CoD handles DVLA notification and removes the SORN status automatically.
