Easy to contact by phone
Easy to contact by phone. All the staff I spoke to were polite and helpful. All arrangements were confirmed in writing and timescales were kept to. The collection went well, he kept me informed and was very . professionalRidiculous as it may seem I was sad to scrap my car but they made it a painless experience.

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.

Highly recommend - 10/10 service
Whole process was really easy and completely fuss free from start to finish. Entered my postcode and registration online and was given a price straight away without having to sign up to anything. The price offered was better than anywhere else. Selected a date and time that suited me for collection and booked in a matter of minutes. Really clear information was given about the collection process via email. Collection day arrived and the guy who came was really friendly. Quick check of the car, loaded onto the truck and received the money within minutes. I would highly recommend this company as it was so easy, no hidden terms and conditions and an all round great experience.

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.

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 :)

Scrap my car in Stourbridge FAQs

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

The average price paid in Stourbridge for a scrap car is £288. The price depends on weight, condition, make, model, current metal prices, and whether it has salvageable parts rather than going straight for scrap. We make finding the best deal easy with our quote tool. Just enter your registration and postcode and let us do the rest.

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

No, you don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Stourbridge. Maybe you'd prefer to do a few laps at the Full Throttle Raceway instead. No problem. You can nominate another person aged 18 or over to meet the driver, and they'll need photo ID, proof of address and your permission. Just another way to make the process as simple as possible.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll usually need photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting paperwork such as MOT certificates or service history to help confirm ownership. Just be mindful that the checks can take a little longer as we have to confirm a few extra details.

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

Yes, you can keep your private number plate before scrapping. You can use the retain my reg through the DVLA retention or transfer process. Apply online at the DVLA website or with a V317 form. Try to do this as a priority, because the registration must be removed before the Certificate of Destruction can be issued.

Can I scrap an electric or hybrid car in Stourbridge?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, Car.co.uk accepts all fuel types, including EVs, hybrid cars, plug-in hybrids, mild hybrids and battery electric vehicles, so we can help with any vehicle reaching end of life. An authorised treatment facility handles battery removal or battery management safely as part of the depollution and recycling process, ensuring everything is above board and environmentally friendly.

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

To scrap your car in Stourbridge, you’ll usually need your V5C logbook, plus photo ID and proof of address. If the logbook is missing, you can still often go ahead using supporting documents such as MOT or service records, and we’ll guide you through the paperwork so everything is all above board.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

We can issue a Certificate of Destruction if requested, typically within 7 days of processing. Car.co.uk automatically notifies the DVLA, and once issued, the CoD removes the vehicle from the register, so the previous owner is no longer responsible.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No. If there’s finance remaining on the vehicle, it will need to be paid off or formally approved by the finance company before scrapping can go ahead. The lender retains legal ownership interest until the agreement is settled, so the next step is to get a settlement figure or authorisation from them, and we’ll assist you with what’s required next.

Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap my car?
Dropdown Icon

No, Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification as part of the Certificate of Destruction process, so you only need to provide us with your V5C logbook details. Once the Certificate is issued, the previous keeper is removed from the register, and you're no longer responsible for the car.

Which areas of Stourbridge do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

All postcodes within Stourbridge are covered, including areas such as Amblecote, Wollaston, Lye, Oldswinford and Brierley Hill, with free collection from any address.
