Highly recommended !!
Car.co.uk offered the best price by far out of all the sites I had got quotes from. The whole process was really easy to arrange and sort out a collection. I had a few enquiries and the different guys that I spoke to at customer enquiries was really friendly and helpful. I asked for an early/ first pick up and was told they would do their best. The night before I received a text asking if a 6:30am pick up would be possible. I agreed. Earlier the better for me. The morning of the pick up I had a call from the driver (John) who informed me he wasn’t far and sure enough he arrived on the agreed time. When he arrived he was so helpful and really friendly. The car was on the back of the lorry and paperwork sorted all within 15 mins. Can’t recommend these guys enough and I would definitely use again.

Quick and Convenient Vehicle Scrappage
This was a quick and easy way to scrap our old vehicle. The online evaluation check was useful and produced a similar price to what we expected. It only took a few moments to book a collection date and time, and this was confirmed via text and email. On collection day I was texted further confirmation and called by the driver to inform of his eta. The driver was informative and professional. The purchase was accepted and the payment okayed, with the money transferred immediately. Overall, and great service and would recommend.

First class company
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.

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.

Scrap my car in Godalming FAQs

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

The average price for a scrap car in Godalming is £265. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, metal rates and reusable parts. Enter your car registration and postcode to see the price for your scrap, compare scrap car prices and the best scrap car deal before collection.

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

No, you do not need to be present when we collect the vehicle. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access, photo ID and agreed paperwork. Tell us beforehand so the driver knows who will complete the handover and collection can proceed smoothly and without unnecessary delays.

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 supporting evidence such as an MOT certificate or service record. Ownership checks can take longer before collection and payment are arranged, but missing paperwork does not always prevent the sale.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment is made by bank transfer, not cash. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 prohibits cash transactions for scrap vehicles. The agreed price is released on collection when the vehicle matches its description. Once checks are complete, the transfer goes to your nominated account without last-minute reductions or confusion.

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 proof is required. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible. Otherwise, show a legitimate reason for possession, such as inheritance, a gift or deceased estate, with photo ID and supporting documents before safely booking the collection.

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

You need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address to complete the sale. If the logbook is missing, other ownership evidence may be accepted after checks. We explain what to prepare before collection, helping the handover stay recorded, secure and compliant at your Godalming address.

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 the car entered the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification removes the previous keeper from the register and ends further responsibility.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance must usually be settled before the vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender gives written consent. The finance provider retains a legal interest until the agreement ends. Contact them first for a settlement figure or approval, then provide clearance before booking collection so ownership and disposal records remain correct.

What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping means the vehicle is dismantled and recycled mainly for metal value under end-of-life rules. Salvaging means it still has enough value to be sold whole or broken for usable parts. Car.co.uk assesses both routes and chooses the option that gives the owner the strongest practical return overall.

Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can keep your private number plate before scrapping. Apply to retain or transfer it through the DVLA before disposal. You can use the online service or form V317. Wait for confirmation before arranging collection, because the registration must be removed before a Certificate of Destruction is issued.
