Frequently asked questions

We receive a lot of questions about scrapping cars. We’ve covered some of the most common ones here – but if you have a query that’s not on the list, we’re always happy to provide you with the answers you need via our online messaging facility.

Will your scrap car buyers in Croydon pick up cars if they don’t have wheels?

Yes, they will. The car scrap yards we work with in the Croydon area have the specialist equipment needed to collect a car that has no wheels.

What happens if I change my mind?

Don’t worry if you change your mind about a quote – we understand people’s circumstances sometimes change. If you have accepted a quote but need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible – so we can make sure you’re not charged for any wasted journeys.

My car has flat tyres, will you still be able to scrap it for me?

Yes, we will. We know scrap cars are unlikely to be in showroom condition, so it’s no problem if the tyres are not inflated. Our collection partners have a wide range of specialist equipment, so they’re able to remove all sorts of ill-conditioned vehicles.

What do I do with the V5C log book document?

As the current registered keeper of the vehicle, it’s your legal obligation to complete and send section 9 of the V5C log book. This section allows the DVLA to keep their vehicle database up to date – and ensures you don’t receive any fines or action relating to the vehicle in the future. Don’t worry if you’re not 100% certain about what needs to be completed; our collection partner will be more than happy to help.

What's my scrap car worth?

The quotes we’ll find for your car are based on weight – along with any components that can be salvaged for recycling purposes. We’ll always try to find specialist dismantlers that deal with specific makes and models to maximise the price you’re offered.

Is it okay for me to keep the new stereo I put in the car?

Yes, that’s no problem. It would be great for us and our collection partners if you could replace the stereo you’re removing with the one originally supplied with the car.
