Turning scrap cars into opportunities

Road safety in the Tyne and Wear area is improving. In fact, the last 10 years have seen a 9% reduction in the most serious accidents on local roads.

While this is certainly positive, there are still thousands of vehicles written off on the area’s road each year. The good news is, at Car.co.uk, we make sure these cars help to fund crucial charity projects in the North of England.

When you scrap your car with us, part of the profit it makes after it’s left you will be used to financially support charity projects in local communities. From food banks to supported living homes – our social value program gives something back to the communities in which we do business.

Frequently asked questions

Worried about your paperwork? Not sure about collection? No problem – we’ve covered a few common questions and answers here.

I need to change my mind about a quote. Is that okay?

If you change your mind about the quote we’ve provided to scrap your car in the Tyne and Wear area, we’ll need to know as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to cancel our collection partner coming to pick the car up – and avoid anyone being charged for a wasted journey.

Can I throw the log book away if I’m scrapping the car?

No. If you dispose of the V5C log book it makes it much harder to inform the DVLA that your vehicle has a new owner – and it’s your legal responsibility to do this. With the V5C, you’ll be able to complete section 9 – before returning it to the address on the rear. When this is received, you are no longer responsible for the car.

Is an ATF the same thing as a scrap yard?

‘ATF’ or ‘Authorised Treatment Facility’ is the name given to scrap yards that meet with strict government regulation relating to how scrap materials are collected, handled, and stored. A scrap yard has to meet this standard to begin the official DVLA scrapping process – so all Car.co.uk’s scrap partners are ATF accredited.

Will you still collect scrap cars in the Tyne and Wear area without wheels?

Yes. The Tyne and Wear scrap car dealers won’t be expecting your car to be in top condition – so they can account for missing wheels and damaged components.

What happens if I’ve lost my keys?

Don’t worry. We’ll make sure the scrap partner you deal with brings the specialist equipment needed to move your car.

Can I declare my car as being off the road?

Yes, you can. To apply for a SORN, you should contact the DVLA, either by post – or instantly, through their online service. If you do so, you’ll need to make sure your car isn’t being kept on – or used on – a public road.
