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.

Very easy transaction.
Very easy transaction. Easy to book, collection person phoned to say exactly what time they were arriving. I just left him to it and collection took around 10 mins including taking photos of my id and the car. Sad to see my car go as its been a really good car but too much wrong with it now. Payment was not immediate, took around an hour and a half. No fuss, no sweat, very easy.

Great service
I recently had my old car collected and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, everything was handled smoothly and I was kept informed throughout the whole process. The driver, Roy, was excellent – really friendly, professional, and informative, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. The payment was transferred instantly upon collection, which was a huge plus. Overall, a fantastic service and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to scrap their car.

Scrap my car in Wallington FAQs

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

The average price for a scrap vehicle in Wallington is £266. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, 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 collection today.

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

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

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 and payment are arranged through the process.

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

Yes, you can keep a private number plate before the vehicle is scrapped. Apply to retain or transfer the registration through the DVLA before final processing. The plate must be removed from the vehicle record before end-of-life paperwork is completed, so arrange retention before your booked collection date in Wallington.

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. Written 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 in Wallington takes place.

What documents do I need to scrap my car in Wallington?
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 Wallington handover remains properly recorded, straightforward and compliant without avoidable delays or unnecessary local confusion.

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 local ownership complications.

What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping means a vehicle is dismantled and recycled for material value, while salvaging means it is sold complete or broken for usable parts. Car.co.uk considers both routes before deciding which outcome can return stronger value for the owner, depending on condition, age, parts and remaining local salvage potential.

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 partner can assess access, equipment and recovery requirements before arriving.
