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.

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.

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.

Scrap my car in Exeter FAQs

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

The value of your scrap car depends on several factors, including its condition and size. On average, we pay customers in Exeter £197 per vehicle, but yours may be worth more. Get your bespoke quote now via our scrap car value tool.

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

No, you don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Exeter. You can nominate someone over 18 to hand over the vehicle, as long as they have photo ID, access to the car, and all agreed paperwork.

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

You can scrap a car without a V5C logbook, but the process is smoother with one. MOT certificate and/or service history are typically good substitutes for a logbook.

How do I avoid scrap car scams in Exeter?
Dropdown Icon

To avoid scrap car scams in Exeter, avoid cash-in-hand deals, unlicensed collectors, and last-minute price drops on collection day. Legitimate payments are made by bank transfer under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Car.co.uk are also backed by a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating from 15,000+ reviews.

Which areas of Exeter do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

We cover all postcodes within Exeter and surrounding areas, including but not limited to Topsham, Countess Wear, Marsh Barton, Sandy Gate, Exmouth, Crediton, Cullompton, and Honiton. Enter your postcode to find out if you are eligible for free collection.

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

You need photo ID and proof of address at the absolute minimum to scrap your car in Exeter. A V5C log book is also desirable, but we can usually proceed without one of these as long as you have your service history.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

If you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing. Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification automatically, and once issued, this certificate removes the previous owner from the DVLA register, so further responsibility ends.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

You can only scrap a car with outstanding finance if your lender provides written permission. In the majority of cases, you must pay off all outstanding finance before scrapping your car.

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

Your car keys are not necessary for collection. In most cases, your car will be collected and loaded using specialist equipment, meaning keys are not needed.

How long does it take to scrap my car in Exeter?
Dropdown Icon

Same-day and next-day collections are available in most cases in Exeter. You can get a price via our website in under 30 seconds, and from there, how long it takes is up to you. Payment is made via bank transfer on the collection day.
