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.

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.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Doncaster?
After we have collected your vehicle, the first thing we do is send you payment via bank transfer. This money should land in your account before the vehicle starts being stripped. All vehicles are taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility, where an assessment team checks them over to confirm that the paperwork matches the car's condition.
From there, depollution begins, where a team of technicians drain fluids and removes hazardous materials from your vehicle to help protect the environment. Following that, all valuable components, such as a catalytic converter, are removed from the vehicle before the shell goes for final treatment. Around 85% of your car is recycled, and 95% is reused.
Scrap my car in Doncaster FAQs
How much is my scrap car worth in Doncaster?
The average price paid in Doncaster for a scrap car is £270, but your price depends on weight, condition, make, model and current metal prices. Vehicles with usable parts can be worth more as salvage rather than scrap, so compare live scrap car prices and enter your registration for a quote in under 30 seconds.
Do I need to be present for the collection in Doncaster?
You do not have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Doncaster. You can nominate another adult to be there, but they must have access to the vehicle, photo ID and required paperwork, so the handover can go ahead smoothly without delays.
Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
You can scrap a car without a V5C logbook, although the process can take slightly longer. You'll usually need photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting documents such as MOT certificates or service history.
Which areas of Doncaster do you cover?
We cover all postcodes within Doncaster, and free collection is available from any home, workplace or other suitable address. We also cover surrounding parts of the wider area, including areas such as Conisbrough, Mexborough, Thorne and Hatfield, so enter your postcode for a scrap quote in Doncaster, and we'll confirm availability straight away.
Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
You can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, but conditions apply. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible, or you'll need to show a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance or deceased estate, with proof of identity and supporting paperwork like a will, gift letter or statutory declaration.
What documents do I need to scrap my car in Doncaster?
You need photo ID and proof of address to scrap your vehicle in Doncaster. You will also ideally have a V5C log book to hand, but we can usually proceed without, provided you have a suitable alternative. We will explain what qualifies as a suitable alternative should you not have a log book.
Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
If you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing. Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification automatically, and once issued, this removes the previous owner from the DVLA register, so further responsibility ends.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
In most cases, you cannot scrap a car with outstanding finance. The only way you are allowed to scrap a car with outstanding finance is if you can provide written confirmation from your lender that they are happy for you to scrap the vehicle.
How does scrap car payment work?
Payment is made only by bank transfer, in accordance with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. You will receive payment immediately after your car is collected.
Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Doncaster?
You can scrap a SORN vehicle in Doncaster, and it doesn't need to be taxed or insured for collection. SORN only means it mustn't be driven on a public road, so we'll collect it from a private or off-road address.
