Alloy wheels?

No obligation. We only use your details to prepare your quote.

Non-runners, MOT failures and accident-damaged cars can be considered for collection, but the recovery team needs an honest account of the vehicle and its position. Say whether it starts, rolls, steers and brakes, whether the tyres hold air and whether the keys and all wheels are present.

Give the full postcode and describe gates, height limits, narrow entrances, gradients, soft ground, parking controls and the space available for a recovery vehicle to turn and load. Photographs can help when a vehicle is stuck or access is hard to explain.

Collection is free when the submitted details are accurate and suitable recovery can reach and load the vehicle safely. Appointment options still depend on the equipment required, the site and recovery availability.

Questions and Answers in This Topic

3 detailed answers, each written for a specific scrap car question.

Can you collect a car that does not run?

Yes, non-runners can be considered for collection. Say whether the car rolls, steers and brakes, whether the tyres hold air and where the keys are.

Can a scrap car be collected without wheels?

Possibly, but missing wheels change how the vehicle can be moved and may affect the quote or collection terms. Give the exact number and position of missing wheels before booking.

What access details are needed for scrap car collection?

Explain where the vehicle is parked, the road width, gates, height limits, surface, slope, turning space and anything blocking a recovery vehicle.
