Very easy transaction.
Very easy transaction. Easy to book, collection person phoned to say exactly what time they were arriving. I just left him to it and collection took around 10 mins including taking photos of my id and the car. Sad to see my car go as its been a really good car but too much wrong with it now. Payment was not immediate, took around an hour and a half. No fuss, no sweat, very easy.

What can I say...the Company deserves FIVE STARS and if there were TEN STARS , I would have RATED them as such ! ! The Communication was Excellent , as was the Collection of my Car and the Bank Transfer of the Money into my Account ! ! The pick up Driver was exceptionally helpful and my whole experience was a pleasure. Well done Team Car.co.uk and thank you for Providing such a First Class Service. I shall not Hesitate in Recommending Your Company , because I have enjoyed the Swiftness and Professionalism that You have Provided.

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.

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 your SEAT FAQs

Can I scrap my SEAT if I don’t have the V5C logbook?
Dropdown Icon

You can still scrap your SEAT without the V5C logbook. It helps, but it’s not a deal-breaker. We’ll ask for a bit of extra information to confirm you’re the owner, and you’ll need a photo ID. If the V5C has been lost, you can notify DVLA as usual after collection.

Can I scrap my SEAT car if it has outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

If your SEAT still has outstanding finance, you can’t scrap it until the finance is settled. The lender technically owns the vehicle, and car scrapyards won’t touch it. The best move is to check your settlement figure, clear it, then book a collection.

How quickly can you pick up my SEAT after I accept the quote?
Dropdown Icon

Same-day collection for a SEAT with us is sometimes possible, depending on where you are and driver availability. If you need it gone because it’s blocking a driveway or you’re moving house, mention that when booking. Even if it can’t be same-day, next-day is doable. The faster you enter your reg and postcode, the faster we can line up a slot.

Can you collect my SEAT if it’s SORN or hasn’t moved for ages?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, Car.co.uk can collect a SEAT that’s SORN or been sat off-road for ages. The car doesn’t need tax or insurance just to be scrapped, and it doesn’t have to drive onto the truck either. Tell us if it’s stuck, flat tyres, seized brakes, whatever, so the driver turns up prepared.

Will I still get a quote if parts are missing from my SEAT?
Dropdown Icon

We can still quote and often collect SEATs with missing parts, but it can affect the price. Catalytic converters, engines, gearboxes, even wheels - if they’re gone, the car’s worth less because weight and salvage value drop. The important part is being honest when you book. If the vehicle turns up “lighter” than expected, the offer may change on collection day.
