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.

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.

Scrap my car in Petersfield FAQs

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

The average price for a scrap car in Petersfield is £222. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, current metal rates and salvageable parts. Missing components and demand for reusable parts can also change the result. Enter your registration and postcode to see the price for your scrap and decide whether the offer suits you.

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

No, you do not need to be present when we collect your car in Petersfield. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access to the vehicle, photo ID, keys if available and the agreed paperwork. Tell us beforehand so collection can proceed smoothly.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You will need photo ID, proof of address and evidence connecting you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, purchase receipt or service record. Ownership checks may take slightly longer before collection is confirmed.

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

No, Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification as part of the Certificate of Destruction process. You provide the V5C details during handover, and when the record is completed the previous keeper is removed from the register, ending responsibility for the vehicle.

How long does it take to scrap my car in Petersfield?
Dropdown Icon

Same-day or next-day collection is possible in most Petersfield cases, depending on booking time and access. Your online quote takes around 30 seconds, you choose a collection slot during booking, and bank transfer payment is released at handover. Busy traffic on the A3 can occasionally affect the driver’s arrival time, while a requested Certificate of Destruction is normally issued within seven days of processing.

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

You normally need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address. If the log book is missing, alternative vehicle paperwork may be accepted after ownership checks. We explain what to prepare before collection and which supporting records may help, keeping the Petersfield handover clear, secure and compliant from the outset.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, a Certificate of Destruction is issued within seven days when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It confirms entry into the end-of-life process, while the DVLA update removes the previous keeper from the official record and ends further responsibility.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance must be settled before the vehicle is scrapped unless the lender provides written consent. The finance company retains a legal interest, so contact it and check the agreement first. Once the balance is cleared or permission is provided, collection can be arranged.

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

Avoid scrap car scams by using a licensed, reviewed buyer and refusing cash deals, unlicensed collectors or collection-day price drops. Legitimate payment is made by bank transfer under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, not in cash. Confirm the agreed amount before booking, check who is collecting the vehicle and ensure the details match when the driver arrives. Keep a record of the handover and request a Certificate of Destruction when the car is scrapped so the DVLA record can be closed correctly.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without an MOT in Petersfield. MOT status does not prevent valuation or collection, provided the vehicle is accessible for recovery. Keep your V5C log book and identification ready, while brake, tyre or suspension repairs can be left rather than completed first.
