Our customers love us!

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.

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.

Quick and Convenient Vehicle Scrappage

This was a quick and easy way to scrap our old vehicle. The online evaluation check was useful and produced a similar price to what we expected. It only took a few moments to book a collection date and time, and this was confirmed via text and email. On collection day I was texted further confirmation and called by the driver to inform of his eta. The driver was informative and professional. The purchase was accepted and the payment okayed, with the money transferred immediately. Overall, and great service and would recommend.

Scrap Saab statistics in the UK

The oldest Saab we’ve ever scrapped in the UK was a 1989 Saab 900. It was 36 years old when it came to our scrapyard - that’s almost double the average for this make.

The highest-mileage Saab we’ve scrapped was a 900 with 290,914 miles on the clock - this is more than double the average for this brand and is a clear outlier.

The average kerb weight for a Saab in one of our scrapyards is 1,568kg. That’s on the lighter side, as the UK average kerb weight is around 1,900kg.

The youngest Saab we’ve scrapped is a 14-year-old Turbo from 2011. That’s relatively young for this category, showing Saab is a durable brand.

What happens after you scrap your Nissan with Car.co.uk?

Once Car.co.uk collects your Saab, it is transported to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) where hazardous fluids are safely removed and the vehicle is dismantled and recycled in line with UK environmental regulations.

From there, the focus turns to salvage and recycling. Saabs often contain materials worth recovering – even if yours has a turbo failure, it may still have usable mechanical parts and valuable metals. Anything suitable for reuse is separated out, while the remaining materials are processed for recycling rather than sent to landfill.

Scrap your Saab FAQs

What do I need on the day to scrap my Saab?

Have your photo ID and V5C logbook handy. If the V5C has gone missing, don’t panic - we can still usually collect, but you’ll confirm ownership details when booking. After pickup, we handle the DVLA notification and can provide a Certificate of Destruction on request. If you’re ready to scrap your Saab, get your free quote today at Car.co.uk so you can learn more about your options.

My Saab doesn’t run - will that change the price or collection?

We collect Saabs that won’t start, won’t move or have failed mid-repair - collection is still free nationwide at Car.co.uk, but be honest about the condition so we send the right equipment. If it needs winching or the wheels are seized, we can plan for it rather than tuning up and wasting everyone’s time.

How fast can you collect my Saab and pay me?

We can arrange collection the same day or the next day. However, it depends on driver routes and demand. When you book at Car.co.uk, choose the earliest slot that suits you and keep your phone handy in case the driver updates the timing. Payment is sent by bank transfer right after collection is completed, so you’re not waiting around for funds to clear.

Can you take my Saab if I don’t have the keys?

Yes, in many cases we can collect a Saab without keys. Tell us upfront when you book so the right truck turns up. If the car is locked in or sat in a garage, collection may need more planning.

Can I take parts off my Saab before it’s collected?

You can remove personal items and, if you want, a private plate before collection. Just make sure anything you take off doesn’t make the car dangerous to load - no loose batteries, leaking fluids or half-detached bumpers. If you’re thinking of stripping parts to sell, mention it when booking, because it can change the quote.
