We’ll put you in touch with scrap car collection services in Redcar

90% of cars that are scrapped in the UK cannot be safely driven on the road – so, we appreciate that getting your vehicle to car scrap dealers in Redcar can be difficult. Rather than leaving delivery to you – we’ll take care of it on your behalf.

As well as finding a top quote if you’re hoping to scrap your car in Redcar, our network of scrap partners will provide a quick and convenient car collection service – from any location.

Supporting local communities

A decade ago, Redcar roads witnessed around 100 road traffic accidents each year. Now, thanks in part to local road safety campaigns, that number has dropped to just 33. If Teesside and North Yorkshire could follow this impressive lead, they would be some of the safest areas to drive a car anywhere in the UK.

This incredible improvement in accident numbers around the town no means that most cars scrapped locally are as a result of age-related wear, rather than collision damage – and it’s cars like these that we can transform into funding for charity projects around the country.

If you’re looking to scrap your car for cash in Redcar, the portion of the profit that it helps us to create will allow us to continue our support of social value projects that include food banks, offender rehabilitation schemes, and supported living homes.

Did you know?

Since our social value reporting began in 2015/2016, Car.co.uk's offender rehabilitation programmes, residential support schemes and food redistribution networks have saved taxpayer-funded services £17m. That figure is on track to grow by another £10m through 2018/2019.

Did you know?

By the end of 2019/2020, the charity that Steve Jackson OBE (our Founder) founded are on track to have delivered over £35m of social value through their HMP academies, supported living services, and food redistribution networks; which have been in even higher demand since Covid-19 impacted our communities. In 2019/2020 alone, these projects created an £8,039,621 saving for UK taxpayers.

We're bringing social value to the motor industry

You can help us to drive funding towards a huge range of charities and good causes.

There's no doubt that responsibly scrapping your car is good for the environment – but, when you do it with Car.co.uk, you're also helping us to make real changes to local communities.

A portion of the funds that your car helps us to generate will be used to support a number of life-changing projects, including:

Food banks and food redistribution networks
Supported living services for people who may otherwise be homeless
HMP training academies and work placement schemes

By providing financial support for initiatives like these, we also help to ease the pressure on taxpayer funded services up and down the country.

Supporting positive change through social value schemes

When our team helps you to get the best prices from scrap car dealers in Redcar – you're directly helping to change the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the UK.

Frequently asked questions

We realise scrapping a car isn’t likely to be something you do very often – and that’s why we’ve put together a series of frequently asked questions that might be useful. If you’ve got a question that’s not on the list, you can get in touch using our instant messaging service.

I’ve lost my keys! What should I do?

Don’t worry; missing keys are unlikely to cause a problem. Your vehicle will be picked up by a Redcar car scrap dealer who has the specialist equipment to recover your vehicle.

How do you value scrap cars?

Generally, the prices we find from Redcar car scrap yards will be based around the weight of the vehicle. However, we’re able to offer more than scrap value for some makes and models – by seeking quotes from specialist dealers who specialise in certain makes and models.

Do I need to be present when you collect my scrap car in Redcar?

No, you don’t. The 2013 Scrap Metal Dealers Act requires someone to be with the car – but it’s fine if you’d like to nominate someone other than yourself. If you do ask someone else to be with the car when it’s collected, it’s important to make sure they have a photographic proof of ID with them (passport or driving licence is ideal). If you can’t provide the V5C certificate, you’ll also need to make sure they can show a proof of address too.

How can I make sure I keep my personal plate?

To make sure you don’t lose your personalised number plate, you should use the DVLA’s online service to remove it from the car before it’s collected. When complete, you’ll be able to transfer the registration to another car – or hold it on a retention certificate for use on another vehicle in the future.

I want to keep my stereo – is that okay?

Yes, that’s fine. You’re likely to get a better price if you can replace it with the original factory-fitted unit – but don’t worry if you can’t – our partner scrap yards will buy cars in any condition.

Which part of the log book do I need to complete?

You’ll need to fill out section 9 of the log book (the yellow slip marked V5C/3) – confirming that your vehicle is being transferred to a scrap yard or dismantler. Don’t worry if you’re not 100% certain about the information you’re required to provide – our partner’s collection driver will be more than happy to help.
