Car.co.uk gave me a reasonable price
Car.co.uk gave me a reasonable price to scrap my car, all the booking online was straightforward and they were able to collect it the next working day. The driver let me know exactly when he was coming and 2 minutes after he had arrived, the car was gone with no issues. He was very polite and friendly. No complaints :)

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.

Dropdown Icon

You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in South Molton. You can nominate another adult to meet the driver, provided they have photo ID, access to the vehicle, and any agreed-upon paperwork, so collection can still proceed smoothly if you're unavailable.

Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?

You can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. We'll usually ask for photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting documents such as MOT certificates or a full service history to help confirm ownership.

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

MOT status doesn't affect scrap valuation or collection in South Molton, so you are free to get a quote even if your car has recently failed its MOT.

Do I need to provide keys for my car?

Missing keys are common and won't stop the collection of your vehicle.

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

You will need photo ID, proof of address, and proof of vehicle ownership to scrap your car in South Molton. The easiest way to prove vehicle ownership is with a V5C log book, but we can usually proceed if you don't have one. If this applies to you, we will guide you on what alternative documents are suitable.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

If you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

All outstanding finance must usually be settled first, unless the finance company gives clear consent for the vehicle to be scrapped. Lenders retain a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends, so the best next step is to contact them for settlement figures or written permission. We'll help you understand what happens next.

How do I avoid scrap car scams in South Molton?

Scrap car scams are a genuine risk in South Molton, and the safest approach is to use a licensed service that pays by bank transfer rather than cash, in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Watch for cash-in-hand deals, unlicensed collectors, and last-minute price drops on collection day.
