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.

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 :)

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.

Scrap my car in Telford FAQs

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

The average price paid in Telford for a scrap car is £274, but your final price depends on the car's weight, condition, make, model, and current metal prices. Salvageable vehicles with usable parts can be worth more than end-of-life motors sold only for scrap, so check your scrap car value online and get your quote in under 30 seconds.

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

You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Telford. You can nominate another adult to hand over the vehicle, and they should have photo ID and any agreed paperwork, so the driver can complete the collection without delay.

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

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

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

You can keep your private number plate before scrapping, but you must apply to retain or transfer it before the car is processed. Use the DVLA website or a V317 form to place the registration on retention or transfer it to another vehicle, and ensure the plate is removed before any Certificate of Destruction is issued.

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, so you do not need to contact them.

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

You will need photo ID, proof of address and proof of ownership to scrap your vehicle in Telford. Most people prove ownership with a V5C log book, but we can usually proceed with alternatives. If you don't have a logbook, we will guide you on the next steps.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

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

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

In most cases, all outstanding finance must be settled before you can scrap your vehicle. The only exception to this is if your finance company provides clear consent for the vehicle to be disposed of. Lenders retain a legal interest until the agreement ends, so the next step is to contact them for settlement details or written permission. We'll help you move forward once that's in place.
