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, 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.

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.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car with no V5C logbook. You'll need to present photo ID, proof of address, and supporting paperwork like an MOT certificate or service history to confirm ownership in its place. A missing logbook means the scrap process will likely take slightly longer.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, you'll need to pay off any remaining balance before you can scrap a financed car in Barton-upon-Humber. Lenders keep a legal interest in vehicles they finance until the agreement ends, so check with them before booking, and we'll help you understand the next steps.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Barton-upon-Humber?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a SORN vehicle in Barton-upon-Humber. Scrap vehicles don't need to be taxed or insured for collection, but they cannot be driven on a public road, which means we'll have to collect your car from a private or off-road address. When you request a Certificate of Destruction, the DVLA notification removes SORN status automatically.

What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping involves dismantling and recycling a vehicle mainly for metal value under the ELV directive. Salvaging is done when the vehicle still has enough worth to be resold whole or broken down for parts. Car.co.uk always considers both options and chooses the best outcome for the owner.
