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.

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.

Quick, easy, great service, decent price.
Organised it to be collected, driver (Tony) was in contact throughout the collection day to keep me posted. 10 minutes and I was paid and he was gone! Great service, Tony was very friendly and efficient. Definitely will use this service again in the future, been with WeBuyAnyCar a few times and for convenience, this blows them out of the water (all circumstantial of course). Couldn’t have asked for more, really helpful.

Scrap my car in Yeovil FAQs

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

The average price for a scrap car in Yeovil is £212. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, scrap metal rates and salvageable parts. Enter your car registration and postcode to see the price for your scrap, compare live scrap car prices and decide whether the offer gives you the best deal based on current market demand and vehicle details.

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

No, you do not need to be present when we collect your car in Yeovil. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access to the vehicle, photo ID, keys and paperwork. Tell us beforehand so collection can proceed securely without avoidable delays on the agreed collection day.

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

Yes, you can usually scrap a car without a V5C log book. You need photo ID, proof of address and evidence connecting you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, receipt or service record. Ownership checks may take slightly longer before collection and payment are arranged safely locally.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car with no MOT in Yeovil. MOT failures do not prevent valuation, but the vehicle must be accessible for safe loading. Brakes, tyres or suspension can make driving unsafe, so free collection avoids taking it onto public roads or arranging separate recovery and towing costs yourself.

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

Same-day or next-day collection is available in most Yeovil areas, depending on local slots. You can get a price online in under 30 seconds, choose a collection time and receive payment by bank transfer at pickup. A requested Certificate of Destruction is normally issued within seven days after processing is completed, with flexible booking available for accessible local vehicles.

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

You normally need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address. If it is missing, alternative ownership evidence may be accepted after checks. We confirm what to prepare before collection, so the handover remains simple, properly recorded and compliant at your Yeovil address without unnecessary delay, confusion or repeated paperwork.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It confirms the car entered the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification removes the previous keeper from the official record and ends further responsibility completely.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance must be settled before a vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender gives written consent. The finance provider retains a legal interest, so contact it and check the agreement first. Once the balance or permission is resolved, you can complete the quote and collection process without unnecessary delays during booking or vehicle collection.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car that is not registered in your name, but you must show authority or a legitimate reason for possession. The keeper should provide written permission where possible, alongside photo ID and supporting paperwork such as a gift letter, will or statutory declaration. Car.co.uk can confirm the evidence required before a legal collection is booked.

Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can keep your private number plate before scrapping the car. Complete the DVLA retention or transfer process first, using the online service or a V317 form. Make sure the registration is removed before collection and before a Certificate of Destruction is issued, otherwise the plate may be permanently lost when the vehicle enters processing.
