Scrapping a car, explained

How much will I get for my car?

It depends on the car's weight, whether it runs, and whether it is worth more than scrap. The quickest way to find out is to enter your reg for an instant figure. If your car still drives or has some MOT left, we will often offer more than its scrap value.

Is collection actually free?

Yes, completely. We collect free from anywhere in Hexham and the Tyne Valley, and nothing is taken off your quote for collection. The figure we agree is the figure you get.

Do I need the V5C logbook?

It helps and we prefer to have it, but we can usually still take the car and sort the DVLA notification. We will tell you exactly what we need when we confirm your quote.

What if my car does not run?

No problem at all. A lot of the cars we collect will not start or move. We bring a transporter with a winch, so it can be loaded from a driveway, garage or field without running.

How do I get paid?

Straight to your bank on the day we collect. No waiting around and no cheques in the post.

Could my car be worth more than scrap?

Often, yes. If it runs, has a bit of MOT, or is a sought-after make and model, we will offer on its real value rather than just its weight, which usually beats a scrapyard.

Do you notify the DVLA?

Yes. We take your logbook and notify the DVLA that the vehicle has changed hands, so it is properly off your name and you are no longer liable for it.

How quickly can you collect?

Often the same day or the next day. Because we are based in Hexham rather than travelling out from Newcastle, we can reach most Tyne Valley addresses quickly.

Do I have to phone anyone?

No. The whole thing is done by email, from your quote to booking the collection. We verify your email so we can reach you, and that is it.
