Excellent service from start to finish
Excellent service from start to finish. Selected the exact day I wanted the vehicle picking up. Had a message on day of collection saying the drivers name and that he was on his way. Within no time he was here and very friendly and professional. Car was loaded and within 2 minutes of paperwork completed the money was in my account.

First class company
There's a very good reason why this company has such a high trust pilot rating, and it's not because of bots or ai fake reviews!! It's nice to leave a good review for a genuinely well run and professional outfit. Firstly , they offer the best price. Secondly , no sucking in of air or false advertising, put in reg, they give you a price, simple.... The pick up driver Shaun was very polite, concise and to the point. From begining to end a good experience, and a well deserved reputation.

We received a very competitive quote…
We received a very competitive quote from Car.co.uk for my car and from the start they were very efficient with their quote which was easy to understand. After accepting their quote they kept me fully informed of the procedure and made it clear and simple. We agreed a collection date and they arrived on time with two polite and helpful driver and assistant and they loaded my car and left very quickly. The agreed price was paid by Car.co.uk and the money was in my Bank before the driver left. I would highly recommend this Company.

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.

Scrap my car in Somerton FAQs

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

The average price paid in Somerton for a scrap car is £216, but your price will be unique to you based on several factors, including the vehicle's weight and the current value of scrap metal. For a live scrap car value, enter your registration and postcode and get your quote in under 30 seconds.

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

You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Somerton. You can nominate someone else to meet the driver, but they must be over 18 and have the required paperwork.

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

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 a full service history to prove ownership.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment is made by bank transfer, not cash. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, authorised buyers can't pay cash for scrap vehicles, and the quoted price is the price paid on collection, with no last-minute reductions unless the vehicle details given were materially wrong.

Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
Dropdown Icon

You can scrap a car that is not registered in your name, but there are conditions. The registered keeper should provide written authority, or you must show a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance, or a deceased estate. You'll need proof of identity, written authorisation where possible, and supporting paperwork such as a will, gift letter, or statutory declaration. Car.co.uk can advise you on your exact situation before you book.

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

You'll need photo ID, proof of address and proof of vehicle ownership to scrap your car in Somerton. The easiest way to prove vehicle ownership is with a V5C logbook, but we can usually proceed with alternatives.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

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

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

All outstanding finance must be settled first, unless the finance company gives clear consent, in which case the vehicle can be scrapped. Lenders keep a legal interest until the agreement ends, so check with them first, and once that's resolved, we can guide you through the next steps.

Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap my car?
Dropdown Icon

Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification as part of the Certificate of Destruction process.

Do you accept commercial vehicles in Somerton?
Dropdown Icon

We accept vans and light commercial vehicles in Somerton, including panel vans, pick-ups, and minibuses. Quote steps are the same; just enter the registration number and postcode.
