What happens to the parts from my scrapped car?
Usable parts are salvaged and resold, while non-recyclable elements are disposed of responsibly in accordance with UK regulations.
Do you scrap both petrol and diesel cars?
Absolutely. We handle all fuel types including petrol, diesel, hybrids, and electric vehicles.
Can I scrap a car that's been off the road for years?
Yes. Even if your car has been sitting unused or untaxed for a long time, we can collect and scrap it legally.
What if my car is missing parts like wheels or the engine?
We can still collect and scrap your car, even if it's incomplete. This may affect the price, but it won't stop the process.
Is the catalytic converter removed before scrapping?
The catalytic converter is removed and processed separately due to the valuable metals inside. It's part of our depollution process.
Do I need to clean my car before scrapping?
No need for cleaning. Just remove personal belongings and any waste. We'll handle the rest.
Can a car with finance still be scrapped?
We cannot scrap cars that are under active finance agreements. The vehicle must be fully owned by you.
Is there a minimum age or condition for scrapping a car?
No. We accept cars in any condition — from write-offs to vintage non-runners.
Can I scrap a car without keys?
Yes. We can collect and scrap cars without keys, as long as ownership can be verified.
How is the scrap value of my car calculated?
Value is based on current metal prices, weight, parts reusability, and local demand.
What documents prove I own the car?
Your V5C logbook is ideal, but we can also accept a combination of photo ID and proof of address.
