Making scrap cars work for local people

A recent insurance company study reveals the A38 between Exeter and Plymouth as the most dangerous road in the UK. Over a 10-year period, the road has seen 8,698 accidents, involving over 13,000 cars – with a huge amount of the cars involved being written-off and then scrapped.

At Car.co.uk, we turn written-off cars like these into crucial funding for important charity work around the UK and beyond.

How do scrap cars help us change people's lives?

At Car.co.uk, we transform scrap cars into funding for social value projects

Scrap cars and charity work might not be two things you think go hand-in-hand – but, at Car.co.uk, we're trying to change that.

When you choose our service to recycle your vehicle and find scrap car buyers in Exeter – you don't just get an amazing price – you also get to know that you're directly supporting a number of social value initiatives around the country.

A portion of the profit that your car generates will go towards running:

HMP Academies
Food redistribution networks
Assisted living services

As well as the people who are directly supported by these initiatives, the positive impact they have on communities spreads far and wide – reducing crime rates, easing the strain on the emergency services, and allowing tax money to be channelled to the areas in which it's most urgently needed.

Directly helping charities and promoting positive change

Your car might have reached the end of its life on the road – but it still has a lot to offer for charities and good causes in the UK and beyond.

Frequently asked questions

Almost everyone who scraps a car has some questions. We’ve answered some of the most common ones here – but don’t hesitate browse our full collection of FAQs – or get in touch using our instant messaging service if you can’t find the answer you’re looking for.

What does the term ELV mean?

An ELV is an ‘End of Life Vehicle’ – the name that’s given to any car that has either naturally come to the end of life through wear and tear, or because of accident damage. ELVs have to be recycled at ATFs; Authorised Treatment Facilities that dismantle and depollute scrap cars in line with government policy.

How much do you pay for scrap cars?

Our Exeter scrap car prices are based on the weight of your car and the parts that we can salvage for recycling. We don’t pay an additional amount for any modifications or add-ons, but we do get prices from specialist breakers who deal with certain makes and models – so we’ll always get the best possible price.

I’ve accepted a quote but changed my mind – what should I do?

If you change your mind about a quote that you’ve accepted, it’s vital that you let us know as quickly as possible. The scrap car dealers we work with in Exeter are very busy, and if you don’t let us know; they may charge for a wasted journey.

Can you still collect scrap cars in Exeter if they don’t have wheels?

Yes, we can. The Exeter scrap dealers we work with have the tools and equipment needed to collect a car with no wheels.

Can a friend be with the car when it’s collected as I’ll be at work?

Yes, that’s fine. We will need someone to be with the car when it’s picked up, but it doesn’t have to be the registered keeper or owner. Your nominated person will need to show a form a photo ID (either a passport or driving licence) when your car is collected, and if you don’t have the V5C document, they’ll also need to provide a utility bill that’s addressed to them and dated within the last 3 months.

What happens to the V5C form when my car is scrapped?

You will need to complete section 9 of the V5C and return it to the DVLA so they can update their records accordingly. Don’t worry if you have any questions, the person who collects your car will provide any additional details you need, and they’ll be happy to help you fill it out.
