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.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Locks Heath?
Collection can start from any driveway or roadside space in Locks Heath, including Park Gate, Sarisbury and Titchfield Common. We will arrive at your chosen time, check that your vehicle matches your description and then take it to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), where the environmentally friendly scrapping process takes place. Before we arrive at the ATF, we will make payment via bank transfer to your chosen account.
The first stage of the scrapping process is called depollution, during which skilled technicians remove all hazardous materials and fluids from your vehicle in accordance with environmental standards. Next, all reusable and valuable parts are removed and set aside, and the remaining shell is then crushed and shredded on site. At least 85% of your vehicle will be recycled, and up to 95% will be reused.
Scrap my car in Locks Heath FAQs
How much is my scrap car worth in Locks Heath?
The average price paid in Locks Heath for a scrap car is £191. Your price is based on several factors, including your vehicle's weight, current metal prices, and whether the vehicle has salvageable parts rather than scrap-only value. To check your scrap car value enter your registration and postcode, and get your quote in under 30 seconds.
Do I need to be present for the collection in Locks Heath?
You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Locks Heath. You can nominate someone else, but the nominated person must be over 18 and have access to the vehicle and any agreed paperwork so collection can go ahead without delays.
Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
You can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll usually need photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting documents such as MOT certificates or a full service history to prove ownership.
Can I scrap a car with no MOT in Locks Heath?
A no MOT status doesn't affect the scrap valuation or collection.
Can I scrap an electric or hybrid car in Locks Heath?
Car.co.uk accepts electric vehicles, hybrid cars, plug-in hybrids, mild hybrids, and all other fuel types. Approved handling at an authorised treatment facility covers battery removal and other specialist steps under vehicle disposal regulations, so EV and hybrid disposal follows the same booking process as any other car.
What documents do I need to scrap my car in Locks Heath?
You'll need your V5C log book to scrap your car in Locks Heath, along with a photo ID and proof of address. If your V5C logbook is missing, we will guide you on what alternatives are acceptable.
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 first, unless the finance company gives consent for the vehicle to be scrapped. Lenders retain a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends, so the next step is to contact the finance provider. We'll help you understand what evidence is needed before collection.
Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
You can keep your private number plate before the car is scrapped. Apply to retain or transfer it first, either online at the DVLA website or by using a V317 form, because the registration must be removed before the Certificate of Destruction is issued and the vehicle is processed.
How do I avoid scrap car scams in Locks Heath?
Scrap car scams are a genuine risk in Locks Heath, so avoid cash-in-hand deals, unlicensed collectors, and last-minute price drops on collection day. Legitimate payments are made by bank transfer under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Car.co.uk offers a safer route, with a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating based on more than 15,000 reviews.
