Customers love us
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.

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.

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.
⏤ Louisa Steele
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.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Irvine?
When we arrive to collect your car for scrapping, a member of the team will first carry out some basic checks to ensure that the vehicle matches the paperwork you provided. If everything is okay, we will then take your vehicle to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) where the scrapping takes place. While en route, prompt payment via bank transfer will be made, with the funds landing in your chosen bank account before any work is done on your car.
Depollution comes first because technicians need to remove hazardous fluids and materials, as per national environmental standards. Next, technicians dismantle the car and remove reusable parts for testing and resale where suitable. At least 85% of your scrap vehicle is recycled and up to 95% is reused, with any remaining metals crushed and shredded so nothing lingers on site.
Scrap my car in Irvine FAQs
How much is my scrap car worth in Irvine?
The average price paid in Irvine for a scrap car is £232, but your final price depends on several factors, including the vehicle's weight and the current value of scrap metal, among other things. Submit your reg and postcode now for an instant scrap car value quote in under 30 seconds.
Do I need to be present for the collection in Irvine?
You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Irvine. You can nominate another adult to hand the vehicle over, as long as they have suitable ID and any agreed paperwork.
Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
You can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll usually need an alternative way to prove you own the car, such as MOT certificates or a full 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 Certificate of Destruction process.
How does scrap car payment work?
Payment is made by bank transfer, not cash, and the price you see is the price paid on collection with no last-minute reductions. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, cash payments for scrap vehicles aren't allowed, so funds are sent securely once the driver has completed the collection checks.
What documents do I need to scrap my car in Irvine?
You'll need photo ID, proof of address and proof of car ownership to scrap your car in Irvine. Ideally, you will have a V5C log book to prove vehicle ownership, but we can advise on alternatives if necessary.
Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
All outstanding finance must be settled before you can scrap your car in Irvine. The only exception to this is if the finance company provides clear consent for the vehicle to be scrapped. Lenders keep a legal interest until the agreement ends, so check with them before booking, and once that's sorted, we'll help you move ahead without confusion.
Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
You can keep your private number plate before scrapping, but you must apply to retain or transfer it before the vehicle is processed. Use the DVLA website or a V317 form, and make sure the registration is removed before the Certificate of Destruction is issued.
Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Irvine?
You can scrap a SORN vehicle in Irvine, and it doesn't need to be taxed or insured for collection. You must not drive it on a public road, so it needs to be collected from a private or off-road address.
