A Top-Tier Car Selling Experience
I just sold my car with Car.co.uk and I have to say, the whole process was incredibly smooth. I got an online quote, and everything went exactly as they said it would. The collection was scheduled at my house, which was super convenient. The driver was a true professional—they were not only efficient but also very kind. As soon as the car was collected, the payment landed in my bank account immediately, which was a fantastic surprise. I highly recommend Car.co.uk for anyone looking to sell their car without any hassle.

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.

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.

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 Chichester FAQs

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

The average price of a scrap car in Chichester is £196. The amount you get depends on weight, condition, make and model, as well as the current scrap metal price. Whether the vehicle also has salvageable parts rather than scrap only is also considered, so check your scrap car value and get an instant scrap car quote to see the price you can get.

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

No, you don't have to be there in person when we collect your scrap car in Chichester. You can choose another person aged 18 or over to meet the driver on your behalf, they'll just need photo ID, proof of address and all the vehicle's paperwork.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car with no V5C logbook, you'll just need photo ID, proof of address and supporting paperwork such as MOT certificates and service history instead. The scrapping process can take slightly longer while ownership details are checked in this case.

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

No, you don't need to provide keys for your car in order to scrap it. Missing keys are a common issue, but they won't prevent collection or affect the quoted price for your car. Your vehicle can still be loaded using specialist equipment, and its overall condition is what determines the value.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, but the registered keeper has to provide written authority (where possible), or you must be able to show a legitimate reason for possessing the vehicle, such as it being a gift, part of an inheritance or from a deceased estate. You'll also need your ID and supporting paperwork like a will, gift letter or statutory declaration. We can guide you through this process to keep things stress free.

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

You'll need your vehicle's V5C log book to scrap your car in Chichester, as well as photo ID and proof of address. If you don't have the V5C logbook, you can usually still proceed with alternative paperwork. We'll guide you through the required documents so the transfer is handled compliantly and hassle free.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request one, we will issue a Certificate of Destruction within 7 days of processing. Car.co.uk handles DVLA notifications automatically, and the CoD removes you from the DVLA register, ending further responsibility for the vehicle.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, the remaining balance must be paid off before you can scrap a financed car, unless the company you have the agreement with gives clear consent for the vehicle to be scrapped. Lenders keep a legal interest until the contract ends, so check with the finance provider before booking. We can help you with all the required paperwork here.

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

Yes, Car.co.uk accepts all fuel types in Chichester, including battery electric vehicles, hybrids, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids. We process every end-of-life vehicle through an authorised treatment facility, where high-voltage battery removal and handling are managed safely as part of our environmentally friendly car recycling services.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car with no MOT in Chichester. MOT status doesn't affect scrap valuation or prevent collection. The vehicle simply needs to be accessible for pickup. Keep in mind that narrow roads and low bridges can affect our car collection service, such as The Bypass Bridge on the A27 and the Hunston/Turner Bridge.
