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 :)

Quick Service and Instant Payment
I recently used a car scrapping service and was really impressed with how quick and straightforward the whole process was. From the moment I contacted them, everything was handled professionally. They arranged collection at a time that suited me, and the driver was polite and efficient. What really stood out was how quickly they transferred the payment — the money went straight into my bank account immediately after the car was collected. There was no hassle, no hidden fees, and everything was exactly as promised. If you’re looking for a smooth, no-stress way to scrap your car and get paid on the spot, I’d definitely recommend this service.

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.

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.

Great service
I recently had my old car collected and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, everything was handled smoothly and I was kept informed throughout the whole process. The driver, Roy, was excellent – really friendly, professional, and informative, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. The payment was transferred instantly upon collection, which was a huge plus. Overall, a fantastic service and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to scrap their car.

Scrap my car in Uttoxeter FAQs

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

The average price for a scrap car in Uttoxeter is £267. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, metal rates and reusable parts. Enter your car registration and postcode to see the price for your scrap, compare live scrap car prices and decide whether the result gives you the best scrap car return for your vehicle.

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

No, you do not need to be present when we collect your car in Uttoxeter. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have your permission, access to the vehicle, identification, keys if available and the agreed paperwork, so collection can proceed without delays.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You will need photo ID, proof of address and evidence connecting you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, purchase receipt or service record. Extra ownership checks may take slightly longer before collection and payment are arranged.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car with no MOT in Uttoxeter. MOT status does not prevent valuation or collection, and the vehicle only needs safe access for loading. High mileage, brake wear, tyre damage or suspension faults may make repair poor value, but collection can still be arranged without driving it.

Do I need to provide keys for my car?
Dropdown Icon

No, you do not need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are common and specialist equipment can usually load the vehicle safely. Tell us during booking so the correct transporter is arranged; the condition, weight and parts value determine the quote rather than whether keys are present.

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

You normally need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address to scrap a car in Uttoxeter. If the log book is missing, alternative ownership evidence may be accepted after checks. We confirm what to prepare before collection, keeping the transfer properly recorded and compliant.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you will receive a Certificate of Destruction when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It is normally issued within seven days of processing, confirms the legal end-of-life route and supports the DVLA update that ends the previous keeper’s responsibility.

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 first and check the settlement position. Once the balance or permission is resolved, you can continue with the quote and 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 when you can prove a legitimate right to dispose of it. Written authority from the registered keeper is preferable, while a gift letter, will, probate document or statutory declaration may support other circumstances alongside identification and ownership evidence. Clear paperwork should show how the vehicle entered your possession and why disposal is authorised.

Do you accept commercial vehicles in Uttoxeter?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we accept vans and light commercial vehicles in Uttoxeter, including panel vans, pick-ups and minibuses. Enter the registration number and postcode through the same quote process. Greater kerb weight can sometimes support a higher return than a small passenger car, while condition and reusable parts are also considered.
