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.

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.

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.

Car.co.uk gave me a reasonable price
Car.co.uk gave me a reasonable price to scrap my car, all the booking online was straightforward and they were able to collect it the next working day. The driver let me know exactly when he was coming and 2 minutes after he had arrived, the car was gone with no issues. He was very polite and friendly. No complaints :)

Scrap my car in Aylesbury FAQs

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

The average price for a scrap car in Aylesbury is £257. The price depends on the weight, condition, make and model of the vehicle, as well as current scrap metal prices. Whether the vehicle has salvageable parts or is only fit for scrap will also affect the price, so enter your registration and postcode to see your scrap car value in under 30 seconds and get the best deal.

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

No, you don't have to be present in person when we collect your scrap car in Aylesbury. You can nominate someone else as long as they're aged 18 or over and have access to the car and all the agreed paperwork.

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

Yes, it's possible to scrap a car that doesn't have a V5C logbook. In its place, you can usually use photo ID, proof of address and supporting paperwork like MOT certificates or service history to help confirm ownership. A missing logbook can make checks take slightly longer than usual, but you should still be able to sell your car for scrap without it.

Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can, although there are conditions in this case. You'll need to have a legitimate reason for possession, such as the vehicle being a gift, part of an inheritance or from a deceased estate. Ensure you have proof of identity, written authorisation from the registered keeper (if possible) and supporting paperwork such as a will, gift letter or statutory declaration. We can advise you on what you'll need to do.

How do I avoid scrap car scams in Aylesbury?
Dropdown Icon

To avoid scrap car scams in Aylesbury, always use a licensed buyer, avoid cash-in-hand deals and be wary of last-minute price changes on collection day. Legitimate payments for scrap vehicles are only ever made by bank transfer under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 because paying cash for cars is prohibited. Car.co.uk is always the safer route thanks to a high Trustpilot rating and 15,000+ reviews making us trusted buyers.

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

In order to scrap your car in Aylesbury, you'll need your V5C logbook, photo ID and proof of address. If you don't have the V5C logbook, you can usually still go ahead with alternative paperwork. We'll guide you through what you'll need to ensure the sale is completed compliantly and stress 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 takes care of the DVLA notification automatically, and the CoD removes you as the previous owner from the DVLA register.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, all outstanding finance must be settled before any vehicle can be scrapped. The finance company can give clear consent for the vehicle to be disposed of, however. Lenders keep a legal interest in the car until your agreement with them ends, so be sure to check with the provider before booking. We'll help you understand what you'll need to do in this case before we collect your car.

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

No, Car.co.uk will take care of DVLA notifications automatically during the CoD process. You will only need to provide your V5C logbook details. Once a Certificate of Destruction has been issued, you will be removed from the register as an owner, ending responsibility for the vehicle.

Which areas of Aylesbury do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

Scrap car collection is available from any Aylesbury postcode. We also cover surrounding parts of the wider area, including Wendover, Princes Risborough, Thame, Buckingham and Leighton Buzzard. Narrow roads and low bridges, especially on the A41 near Aston Clinton/Bicester, can make it difficult to collect certain vehicles, so keep that in mind when booking a collection slot.
