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.

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.

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.

Very easy transaction.
Very easy transaction. Easy to book, collection person phoned to say exactly what time they were arriving. I just left him to it and collection took around 10 mins including taking photos of my id and the car. Sad to see my car go as its been a really good car but too much wrong with it now. Payment was not immediate, took around an hour and a half. No fuss, no sweat, very easy.

Scrap my car in Ascot FAQs

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

The average price paid for scrap cars in Ascot is £270. This can change based on vehicle weight, condition, make, and model, current scrap metal prices, and whether the car has salvage value rather than scrap only. Scrap vehicles with reusable parts often return more, so check your scrap car value online for a firm figure in under 30 seconds.

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

No, you don't have to be present when we collect your scrap car in Ascot. You can ask someone else to be there instead, but they must be over 18 and have the keys, photo ID, and all the paperwork ready for the driver. We'll explain what they'll need so the vehicle can be removed stress free.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car with no V5C logbook, but you'll need alternative paperwork like photo ID, proof of address, and supporting documents such as MOT certificates or service history to help confirm ownership in its place. The scrapping process can take slightly longer without the logbook, but we'll talk you through what's needed before collection is arranged.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Ascot?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a SORN vehicle in Ascot. Scrap vehicles don't need to be taxed or insured for collection, but they can't be driven on a public road. This means it'll need to be collected from a private or off-road address. When a Certificate of Destruction is processed, the DVLA notification removes the SORN status automatically.

Can I scrap an electric or hybrid car in Ascot?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we accept electric vehicles, hybrid cars, plug-in hybrids, and mild hybrids for scrap in Ascot. The car.co.uk service covers all fuel types, including battery electric. Each End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) goes through an authorised treatment facility, where high-voltage battery handling and removal are managed safely and compliantly as part of our responsible recycling process.

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

You'll need your V5C logbook, photo ID, and proof of address to scrap your car in Ascot. If you don't have the V5C, you can usually still proceed using other paperwork, and we'll guide you through everything so the handover is straightforward, compliant, and hassle free.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request a Certificate of Destruction, we'll issue one within 7 days of processing. Car.co.uk notifies the DVLA automatically, and the CoD removes you as the previous owner from the DVLA register, ending further responsibility for the vehicle.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, you'll need to pay off any outstanding finance first, unless the finance company gives clear consent for the vehicle to be disposed of. Lenders keep a legal interest in cars they finance until the agreement ends, so the best next step is to contact them for settlement details. We'll help you understand what happens once that's cleared.

Can I scrap a car with no MOT in Ascot?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a car with no MOT in Ascot. MOT status won't affect the value of your scrap vehicle or prevent collection. The only practical requirement is that the vehicle is accessible for pickup, but keep in mind that narrow roads and low bridges, such as the Mills Road Underline Bridge, can affect recovery in certain cases.

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

Yes, you can keep your private number plate, but you must apply to retain or transfer it before the car can be scrapped. Use the DVLA website or fill out a V317 form to move the registration. The plate must be removed from the vehicle record before a Certificate of Destruction can be issued.
