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.

Quick and Convenient Vehicle Scrappage
This was a quick and easy way to scrap our old vehicle. The online evaluation check was useful and produced a similar price to what we expected. It only took a few moments to book a collection date and time, and this was confirmed via text and email. On collection day I was texted further confirmation and called by the driver to inform of his eta. The driver was informative and professional. The purchase was accepted and the payment okayed, with the money transferred immediately. Overall, and great service and would recommend.

Scrap my car in Chippenham FAQs

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

The average price for a scrap car in Chippenham is £240. Your quote depends on weight, make, model, condition, current scrap metal rates and whether reusable parts increase the car value. Enter your registration and postcode to compare live scrap car prices, see the price for your scrap vehicle and decide whether the obligation quote offers the best deal.

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

No, you do not need to be present when we collect your car in Chippenham. 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 the collection can go ahead securely.

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

Yes, you can usually scrap a car without a V5C log book. You will need photo ID, proof of address and other evidence connecting you to the vehicle, such as a purchase receipt, MOT certificate or service record. Ownership checks may take longer before we arrange collection and your quick payment.

What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping means the vehicle is dismantled and recycled for metal value, while salvaging means it has value to be repaired, resold or broken for usable parts. An insurance write-off may follow either route depending on condition. Car.co.uk assesses scrap, salvage and parts value before choosing the outcome that provides the owner with the best return.

Which areas of Chippenham do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we cover Chippenham, including Cepen Park, Derriads, Monkton and Pewsham. Free vehicle collection is available from homes, workplaces, driveways and roadside locations. You do not need to drive the vehicle anywhere, as the collection team comes to your address for collection.

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

You normally need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address. If the V5C is missing, other ownership evidence may be accepted after checks. We confirm what to prepare before collection, so the handover from a Chippenham home, workplace or roadside location remains simple, recorded and compliant.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we issue a Certificate of Destruction when the car is scrapped at an authorised treatment facility and meets the requirements. It is normally provided within seven days of processing and confirms that the vehicle has entered the end-of-life recycling system.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance must be settled before the vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender gives consent. The finance company has an interest in the car, so contact it and check the agreement. Once the balance or permission is resolved, you can complete the quote and collection process.

Do you accept commercial vehicles in Chippenham?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we accept vans and light commercial vehicles in Chippenham, including panel vans, pick-ups and minibuses. Enter the vehicle registration and postcode to receive a quote. Many commercial vehicles achieve higher prices because their greater kerb weight and reusable components can increase recyclable metal and overall salvage value.

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 online service or a V317 form. Make sure the registration is removed before collection and before Certificate of Destruction is issued, otherwise the plate may be lost when the vehicle record is closed.
