Easy to contact by phone
Easy to contact by phone. All the staff I spoke to were polite and helpful. All arrangements were confirmed in writing and timescales were kept to. The collection went well, he kept me informed and was very . professionalRidiculous as it may seem I was sad to scrap my car but they made it a painless experience.

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.

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 Andover FAQs

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

The average price paid in Andover for a scrap car is £230, but your final price depends on weight, condition, make, model, current metal prices, and whether the vehicle has salvageable parts rather than scrap-only value. Unsure? Simply check using our online quote tool that compares values across car scrap yards in Andover.

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

No, you don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Andover. Maybe you're going to drive your dream car at Thruxton Circuit. You can nominate another adult aged 18 or over to meet the driver, and they'll need access to the vehicle plus the required identification and paperwork, so the handover stays simple and the collection can go ahead without any hiccups.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook, although the process can take slightly longer while ownership checks are completed. You'll usually need photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting documents such as MOT certificates or service history, and we'll guide you through the extra paperwork before collection is arranged.

Which areas of Andover do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

All postcodes within Andover are covered, including areas such as Augusta Park, Picket Twenty and the town centre. We also collect for free from any home or workplace address in the wider area, including nearby places such as Whitchurch and Stockbridge, so enter your postcode for a scrap quote and we'll confirm a free collection slot.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment is made by bank transfer, not cash, upon collection of the vehicle. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 prevents cash payments for scrap vehicles, and the quoted price is the price paid on collection with no last-minute reductions. This means that what you're quoted is what you recieve into your account.

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

A V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address help us complete your car scrappage in Andover smoothly. If your V5C is missing, you may still be able to proceed, and we will explain which supporting documents, such as MOT certificates or service records, can help confirm ownership in line with the correct process.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if required, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within 7 days of completing processing. Car.co.uk automatically notifies the DVLA, and once the CoD has been issued, the previous owner is removed from the register and no longer has any ongoing responsibility for the vehicle.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, you must settle any remaining finance before scrapping the vehicle unless the finance company gives explicit approval. Because lenders usually hold a legal interest in the car until the agreement has finished, the first step is to request settlement information from them. Once permission has been confirmed, we will help you continue with the process.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Andover?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, SORN vehicles can be scrapped in Andover without current tax or insurance. Collection must take place from a private address or off-road location, as the vehicle cannot be driven on public roads while declared SORN. When the car is processed, the DVLA notification is completed automatically and the SORN declaration is ended.

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

Yes, Car.co.uk accepts vehicles across every fuel type, from conventional models to electric vehicles, hybrid cars, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids. Through an authorised treatment facility in Andover, specialist teams safely manage high-voltage battery removal and handling before the vehicle is dismantled and its materials are recycled.
