Customers love us
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.

Excellent service from start to finish
Excellent service from start to finish. Selected the exact day I wanted the vehicle picking up. Had a message on day of collection saying the drivers name and that he was on his way. Within no time he was here and very friendly and professional. Car was loaded and within 2 minutes of paperwork completed the money was in my account.
⏤ Chris Fitton
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.
⏤ Alan Fell
Highly recommend - 10/10 service
Whole process was really easy and completely fuss free from start to finish. Entered my postcode and registration online and was given a price straight away without having to sign up to anything. The price offered was better than anywhere else. Selected a date and time that suited me for collection and booked in a matter of minutes. Really clear information was given about the collection process via email. Collection day arrived and the guy who came was really friendly. Quick check of the car, loaded onto the truck and received the money within minutes. I would highly recommend this company as it was so easy, no hidden terms and conditions and an all round great experience.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Falkirk?
A member of our team will arrive at your chosen address to pick up your vehicle, but before they can take it away, they must perform a few basic checks to ensure the paperwork you provided matches the vehicle. Once that has been done, prompt payment will be made via bank transfer while your car departs your address for the final time.
Your vehicle is taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), where the scrapping process will be completed. The first stage is called depollution, where a skilled technician drains and removes all hazardous materials from your car, truck, or van in accordance with national environmental standards. After that, the car is stripped of all of its valuable and reusable parts before the shell is crushed.

Do I need to be present for the collection in Falkirk?
You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Falkirk. You can nominate someone over 18 to hand the vehicle over, but they will need photo ID, access to the car and all supporting documents.
Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
You can scrap a car without a V5C logbook in many cases. To do so, you will usually need photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting paperwork, such as MOT certificates or service history.
Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap my car?
No, Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification as part of the CoD process, so you only need to provide your V5C logbook details. Once the Certificate of Destruction is issued, the previous owner is removed from the register and further responsibility ends.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
If you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing. Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification automatically, and once issued, the CoD removes the previous owner from the DVLA register.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
All outstanding finance must be settled first in most cases. The only exception is if the finance company provides written consent indicating agreement.
Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
You can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, but conditions apply. You'll need proof of identity, written authority from the registered keeper where possible, or evidence showing a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance or deceased estate.

Same-day and next-day collection is available in most cases in Falkirk. We will offer you a price for your car in under 30 seconds, and then it is up to you to select a date and time that works for you.
