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.

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 Aberystwyth FAQs

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

The average price paid in Aberystwyth for a scrap car is £179, but your final price depends on weight, condition, make, model, current metal prices, and whether the vehicle has salvageable parts rather than scrap-only value. For an accurate scrap car value, enter your registration and postcode for a quote in under 30 seconds.

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

You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Aberystwyth. You can choose someone over 18 to hand the vehicle over, but they will need photo ID plus any agreed paperwork.

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

You can usually scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll need photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting papers such as MOT certificates or service history to help confirm ownership, and the checks can take slightly longer before collection is arranged.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Aberystwyth?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a SORN vehicle in Aberystwyth, and it doesn't need to be taxed or insured for collection. The car mustn't be driven on a public road, so it needs to be collected from a private or off-road address.

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

Yes, you can keep your private number plate before scrapping, but you must complete the DVLA retention or transfer process first. Apply online through the DVLA website or use a V317 form, because the registration must be removed before the Certificate of Destruction is issued.

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

You will need photo ID and proof of address to scrap your car in Aberystwyth. We would also like you to have a V5C log book, although we can advise on how to proceed if you do not have this anymore.

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. This will remove you from future responsibility over the vehicle.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, any outstanding finance must be settled first, or the finance company must give clear consent before the vehicle can be scrapped.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, but conditions apply. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible, or you'll need a legitimate reason for possession such as a gift, inheritance, or deceased estate, plus your ID and supporting paperwork like a will, gift letter, or statutory declaration. Car.co.uk can advise before booking.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment is made by bank transfer, as per the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, which bans cash payments for scrap vehicles. The quoted price is the price paid on collection with no last-minute reductions, provided the vehicle matches the details you entered when requesting your quote.
