Frequently asked questions

We’ve covered some of our most frequently asked questions here – but if you have a query that’s not listed, you can check our huge range of FAQs or get in touch using our handy instant messaging service.

I need to change my mind about scrapping my car; what should I do?

That’s okay. We understand people might need to change their mind about scrapping their car. If this is the case, call us to let us know as soon as possible. If you don’t, our collection partner may charge for any wasted journey made.

What does the term ‘ATF’ mean?

The term ‘ATF’ stands for ‘Authorised Treatment Facility’. This is the title given to a scrap yard that follows strict government guidelines relating to the depollution and disposal of scrap cars. Every Chelmsford scrap yard we work with meets ATF accreditation.

What exactly is an ‘ELV’?

‘ELV’ is short for ‘End of Life Vehicle’. The term describes any vehicle that shouldn’t or can’t be used; either as a result of wear and tear or damage. End of life vehicles are dismantled, depolluted, and then recycled at accredited car scrap yards in Chelmsford.

Do the services who’ll buy my scrap car in Chelmsford pay before collection?

No, they don’t. The Chelmsford car scrap yards we work with are instructed to check a car before collection – to ensure it was accurately described when we provided a quote. Assuming it is, payment will be issued promptly after collection.

What happens if my scrap car has flat tyres?

No problem! The collection services we use to get the best Chelmsford scrap car prices are all very well equipped and will be able to collect a car with deflated tyres.

Can you tell me what to do with the V5C log book document?

When you sell your car to a scrap yard, it’s your responsibility to complete section 9 of the V5C log book document and return it immediately to the DVLA. This ensures ownership records are up to date - and that you won’t be charged for anything relating to the car moving forward. The person who collects your car will be happy to help if you need any help filling out the V5C.
