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.

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.

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.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Sidmouth?
Collections can start from any driveway, garage or roadside space in Sidmouth, including Sidford, Sidbury, Woolbrook and Primley. Upon arrival at your address, we will first verify that your vehicle matches the paperwork you submitted. If this is cleared, we will tow your scrap vehicle to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) for scrapping. At this stage, you will also receive your funds via bank transfer.
At the ATF, a further assessment of your vehicle will be carried out before the scrapping process begins. The first stage is called depollution, where skilled technicians drain your vehicle of all hazardous fluids, in line with national environmental standards. Next, your car will be stripped of all valuable and reusable parts before the remaining shell is crushed and shredded on site.
Scrap my car in Sidmouth FAQs
How much is my scrap car worth in Sidmouth?
The average price paid in Sidmouth for a scrap car is £199. Your price depends on several factors, including your vehicle's weight, current metal prices, and whether it's worth more as salvage than as scrap. For an exact scrap car value, enter your registration and postcode for a scrap car quote in under 30 seconds.
Do I need to be present for the collection in Sidmouth?
You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Sidmouth. You can nominate someone else to meet the driver, as long as they are over 18 and have access to the vehicle.
Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
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.
Do I need to provide keys for my car?
You don't need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are common and won't prevent collection or change the quoted price.
How do I avoid scrap car scams in Sidmouth?
Scams are a genuine risk and often involve cash-in-hand deals, unlicensed collectors, or last-minute price drops on collection day. Legitimate payments are made by bank transfer under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Car.co.uk is a safer route, with a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating based on 15,000+ reviews.
What documents do I need to scrap my car in Sidmouth?
You'll need proof of address, photo ID and proof of ownership to scrap your vehicle in Sidmouth. The easiest way to prove ownership is with a V5C logbook, but we can usually proceed with alternative paperwork. If this applies to you, we will guide you on the next steps.
Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
All outstanding finance must be settled first, unless the finance company consents to the vehicle being disposed of.
What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Scrapping means a vehicle is dismantled and recycled for its metal value under the ELV directive. Salvaging means a car, including some forms of write-off, still has enough value to be sold whole or broken for parts. Car.co.uk assesses both routes to choose the best outcome for the owner.
Can I scrap a car with no MOT in Sidmouth?
You can scrap a car with no MOT in Sidmouth. MOT status doesn't affect the valuation or collection.
