Quick, easy, great service, decent price.
Organised it to be collected, driver (Tony) was in contact throughout the collection day to keep me posted. 10 minutes and I was paid and he was gone! Great service, Tony was very friendly and efficient. Definitely will use this service again in the future, been with WeBuyAnyCar a few times and for convenience, this blows them out of the water (all circumstantial of course). Couldn’t have asked for more, really helpful.

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.

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.

Scrap my car in Totton FAQs

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

The average price for a scrap vehicle in Totton is £188. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, current metal rates and reusable parts. Enter your car registration and postcode to compare scrap car prices, check the price for your scrap and decide whether the offer gives you the best scrap car result before booking today.

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

No, you do not need to be present when we collect your car in Totton. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access to the vehicle, identification and paperwork. Tell us beforehand so collection can proceed securely without delays on collection day.

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

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

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Totton?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a SORN vehicle in Totton. It does not need road tax or insurance for collection, but it must not be driven on a public road. The vehicle should be collected from private land or another suitable off-road location, with the DVLA record updated correctly after eligible processing and the final end-of-life paperwork is completed for you.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment is made by bank transfer, not cash. Licensed scrap buyers in England and Wales must not pay cash for scrap metal, so electronic payment keeps the transaction traceable. The agreed amount is transferred after collection checks, provided the vehicle matches the description given, into your nominated account.

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

You normally need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address. If the log book is missing, other ownership evidence may still be accepted after checks. We explain what to prepare before collection, so the Totton handover remains recorded, straightforward and compliant without delays on collection day.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, a Certificate of Destruction is issued when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It confirms the car entered the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification helps remove the previous keeper from the official vehicle record and ends further responsibility after processing.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance normally needs to be settled before the vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender gives clear permission. The finance company retains a legal interest until the agreement ends, so contact it for a settlement figure or written consent first. Once resolved, you can arrange collection without delays or ownership complications locally.

Do I need to provide keys for my car?
Dropdown Icon

No, you do not always need keys for collection. Missing keys are common and may not prevent pickup because specialist loading equipment can handle some vehicles. Tell us during booking so the collection partner can assess access and recovery requirements before arriving on the arranged collection day.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car that is not registered in your name, but you need authority to dispose of it. Permission from the registered keeper is best, while a gift, inheritance or deceased estate may require photo ID and supporting paperwork such as a letter, will or statutory declaration. We can explain what evidence is needed before booking and collection.
