Quick Service and Instant Payment
I recently used a car scrapping service and was really impressed with how quick and straightforward the whole process was. From the moment I contacted them, everything was handled professionally. They arranged collection at a time that suited me, and the driver was polite and efficient. What really stood out was how quickly they transferred the payment — the money went straight into my bank account immediately after the car was collected. There was no hassle, no hidden fees, and everything was exactly as promised. If you’re looking for a smooth, no-stress way to scrap your car and get paid on the spot, I’d definitely recommend this service.

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.

Scrap my car in Devon FAQs

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

The average price paid in Devon for a scrap car is £204. Your final price depends on lots of things, such as weight, condition, make, model, current metal prices, and whether the vehicle has usable parts. Check the scrap car prices for your vehicle today. Simply enter your registration and full postcode for a quote in under 30 seconds.

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

No, you don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Devon. You can nominate someone over 18 to meet the driver, hand over the vehicle and paperwork, and that person will need valid photo ID plus your permission so the handover goes smoothly. This is great if you're out for the day enjoying the coast.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll usually need photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting paperwork such as MOT certificates or service history to help confirm ownership. The checks may take a little longer, but our team will be on hand to make sure you're fully aware of what's required.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car with no MOT in Devon. MOT status doesn't affect the scrap valuation or collection arrangements. The most important thing is that the vehicle can be safely collected. So, if your vehicle has MOT failures related to wintry coastal conditions, it makes no difference to us.

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

No, you don't need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are common when it comes to vehicles that have been sitting around on rural driveways across Devon; they won't prevent collection or change the quoted price, and the vehicle can still be loaded with specialist equipment. For us, condition, age and weight matter far more than whether a key is available.

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

You'll need your V5C logbook to scrap your car in Devon, along with a photo ID and proof of address. If your V5C logbook is missing, there's usually not a big problem. We'll just have to walk you through the necessary steps to get everything done compliantly.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within 7 days of processing. Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification automatically, and once issued, the CoD removes the previous owner from the DVLA register. At this point, you'll no longer be responsible for the car and can sit back and relax.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance must be settled first, or the finance company must give clear consent before the vehicle can be scrapped. Once the clearance has been given, then we'll be able to guide you, but it's often not so easy as the lender maintains an interest in the vehicle as long as there is an agreement in place.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Devon?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a SORN vehicle in Devon. The vehicle doesn't need to be taxed or insured for collection, but it mustn't be driven on a public road and needs to be collected from a private or off-road address. Any requested Certificate of Destruction handles the DVLA notification and removes the SORN status automatically. Looking for the best place to scrap your car in Devon? Our car recycling services ensure a safe, secure and compliant process from quote to collection.

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

Electric cars, hybrid vehicles, PHEVs, plug-in hybrids, mild hybrids and all other fuel types are accepted through our service. Vehicles are taken to an authorised treatment facility, where batteries are safely handled or removed in accordance with UK ELV regulations before the remaining parts are dismantled and recycled.
