Quick and Convenient Vehicle Scrappage
This was a quick and easy way to scrap our old vehicle. The online evaluation check was useful and produced a similar price to what we expected. It only took a few moments to book a collection date and time, and this was confirmed via text and email. On collection day I was texted further confirmation and called by the driver to inform of his eta. The driver was informative and professional. The purchase was accepted and the payment okayed, with the money transferred immediately. Overall, and great service and would recommend.

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.

Scrap my car in Dundee FAQs

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

The average price for a scrap car in Dundee is £199. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, scrap metal rates and salvageable parts. Enter your car registration and postcode to see the price for your scrap, compare the best scrap car prices available and decide whether the offer gives you the best overall deal for your vehicle today.

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

No, you do not need to be present when we collect your car in Dundee. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access to the vehicle, photo ID, keys and paperwork. Tell us beforehand so collection can proceed securely and without avoidable delays on collection day anywhere across Dundee.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C log book. You need photo ID, proof of address and evidence connecting you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, receipt or service record. Ownership checks may take slightly longer before collection is arranged and secure payment is released.

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

No, you do not usually need to notify the DVLA separately. We handle the notification through the Certificate of Destruction process, using your V5C details. Keep the final confirmation for your records so responsibility for the vehicle is formally closed after processing has fully finished.

Which areas of Dundee do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

We cover all Dundee postcodes, including Broughty Ferry, Lochee, Stobswell and the West End. Free collection is available from homes, workplaces, driveways, garages and agreed roadside locations, so enter your postcode and we will confirm local collection availability for your exact Dundee address today online.

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

You normally need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address. If it is missing, alternative ownership evidence may be accepted after checks. We confirm what to prepare before collection, so the handover remains simple, properly recorded and compliant at your Dundee address without unnecessary delays or confusion at pickup.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It confirms the car entered the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification removes the previous keeper from the official record and ends further responsibility completely.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance must be settled before a vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender gives written consent. The finance provider retains a legal interest, so contact it and check the agreement first. Once the balance or permission is resolved, you can complete the quote and collection process without any further delay.

Do you accept commercial vehicles in Dundee?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we accept vans and light commercial vehicles in Dundee, including panel vans, pick-ups and minibuses. Enter the registration and postcode for a quote. Commercial vehicles may achieve stronger values because their greater kerb weight and reusable components can increase recyclable metal, useful parts and overall salvage value.

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

Yes, you can keep your private number plate before scrapping the car. Complete the DVLA retention or transfer process first, using the online service or a V317 form. Make sure the registration is removed before collection and before a Certificate of Destruction is issued, otherwise the plate may be permanently lost.
