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.

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.

We received a very competitive quote…
We received a very competitive quote from Car.co.uk for my car and from the start they were very efficient with their quote which was easy to understand. After accepting their quote they kept me fully informed of the procedure and made it clear and simple. We agreed a collection date and they arrived on time with two polite and helpful driver and assistant and they loaded my car and left very quickly. The agreed price was paid by Car.co.uk and the money was in my Bank before the driver left. I would highly recommend this Company.

Scrap my car in North Yorkshire FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in North Yorkshire?
Dropdown Icon

The average local scrap price is £251. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, metal rates and reusable parts. Enter your car registration and postcode to see current scrap car prices, check the price for your scrap and decide whether the offer gives you the best scrap car deal for your vehicle right now.

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

No, you do not need to be present for collection in North Yorkshire. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access to the vehicle, photo ID and agreed paperwork. Tell us beforehand who will meet the driver so the handover can proceed securely on time.

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

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

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

Yes, you can dispose of a vehicle that is not registered in your name, but you need authority to do so. Written permission from the registered keeper, estate papers, proof of purchase or another supporting document may be required. You should also have photo ID and proof of address ready before collection is approved, and explain the ownership situation when requesting the quote.

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

No, you should still ensure the DVLA is correctly notified when the car is scrapped. Car.co.uk supports the paperwork process, and once the eligible vehicle is processed, the official record can be updated so keeper responsibility ends without further keeper liability.

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

You normally need the V5C logbook, photo ID and proof of address. If the logbook is missing, collection may still be possible once alternative ownership evidence is checked. Service records or purchase documents can help support ownership. We explain what to prepare beforehand so the handover remains straightforward and properly recorded before collection at your North Yorkshire address.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, a Certificate of Destruction is issued when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It confirms the car entered the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification helps remove the previous keeper from the official record and ends further responsibility completely.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance normally needs to be settled before the vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender gives clear permission. The finance company retains a legal interest until the agreement ends, so contact it for a settlement figure or written consent before booking goes ahead.

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

Yes, you can keep your private number plate before the vehicle is scrapped. Apply to retain or transfer the registration through the DVLA before final processing. The plate must be removed from the vehicle record first, so complete the retention process before your collection date to avoid delays and protect the plate.

Do you accept commercial vehicles in North Yorkshire?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, vans and light commercial vehicles are accepted in North Yorkshire, including panel vans, pick-ups and minibuses. Enter the registration and postcode as normal to get a valuation. Heavier trade vehicles can sometimes return more because weight, reusable parts and overall condition affect the final price, including vans used for rural work across the county.
