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 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.

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

The average price for a scrap vehicle in Tadworth is £267. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, metal rates and parts. Enter your car registration and postcode to compare scrap car prices, see the price for your scrap and judge whether it is the best scrap car offer.

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

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

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 collection is arranged.

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

No, you do not need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are common and will not prevent collection, because specialist equipment can load an accessible vehicle. Tell us during booking so the collection partner can plan equipment and confirm what is possible.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Tadworth?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a SORN vehicle in Tadworth. The car does not need road tax or insurance for collection, but it must not be driven on a public road. It should be collected from private land or another suitable off-road location, with the paperwork updated correctly after eligible processing and disposal.

What documents do I need to scrap my car in Tadworth?
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 Tadworth handover remains recorded, straightforward and compliant without avoidable delays.

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 consent first. Once resolved, collection can proceed.

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

Battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids are accepted, while trained staff manage high-voltage batteries through licensed treatment and recycling processes. This keeps battery handling and final disposal safe and compliant.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without an MOT in Tadworth. An expired or failed MOT does not prevent collection, provided the vehicle is accessible for recovery. Enter the registration and postcode, accept the quote and choose a pickup slot without needing to drive the vehicle anywhere yourself.
