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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Scrap my car in Yarm FAQs

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

The average price paid in Yarm is £245. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, current metal values and reusable parts. Enter your car registration and postcode to see scrap car prices, check the price for your scrap and decide whether the offer gives you the best scrap car deal for your vehicle before booking a collection online today locally.

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

No, you do not need to be present for collection in Yarm. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access to the vehicle, photo ID and paperwork. Tell us beforehand so the driver can complete the handover securely without delaying your collection slot on the day.

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 linking you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate or purchase receipt. Ownership checks may take slightly longer before collection can be approved locally in Yarm after review.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car with no MOT in Yarm. An expired MOT does not prevent collection, provided the vehicle can be accessed safely. Brake, tyre or suspension repairs may no longer make financial sense, so collection avoids driving an unsafe or unroadworthy vehicle yourself to a local yard.

Which areas of Yarm do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we cover Yarm, including the High Street, central Yarm and bridge approaches, plus nearby areas such as Kirklevington, Egglescliffe and Eaglescliffe. Collection is available from homes, workplaces, garages and other accessible addresses. Enter your postcode during the quote process and available local collection slots will be shown before you complete the booking online.

What documents do I need to scrap my car in Yarm?
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. We explain what to prepare before pickup so the handover remains straightforward, properly recorded and compliant at your Yarm address without unnecessary delays during collection on the day.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

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

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 provides clear consent. The finance company retains a legal interest until the agreement ends, so contact it for a settlement figure or written permission before arranging collection. Once resolved, the booking can proceed without delays.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment is made by bank transfer, not cash, under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. The agreed amount is released on collection after the vehicle and details are checked. When the description is accurate, the price does not change at pickup or include hidden deductions.

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

Yes, electric and hybrid cars can be scrapped in Yarm. Battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids are accepted, while trained staff manage high-voltage isolation, battery removal and recycling through an authorised treatment facility so the process remains safe, documented and compliant from collection through final disposal at the licensed treatment site locally.
