Frequently asked questions

We know scrapping a car isn’t something most people regularly do, so we’ve tried to cover some of our most frequently asked questions here.

Can I pick a specific collection time?

Yes, you can. Once you’ve selected your preferred quote, you then get to choose from a selection of times for the collection of your car. We want you to be able to pick a time slot that’s the most convenient for you. Our collection partner will be in touch soon after to confirm this time with you directly.

What should I do with the V5C when my car is collected?

You’ll be required to complete section 9 of the V5C. This confirms with the DVLA that your car has been sold to a dismantler or scrap yard. It’s your responsibility to make sure this is done – but the person who collects your car will be happy to help if you need any assistance.

How much will be car be worth?

The price of your scrap car is calculated based on weight – and the parts our scrap collection partners know they can salvage or recycle. We’re unable to offer a higher price for optional extras or upgrades, but we will make sure your car is offered to specialist scrap dealers to ensure you get the highest possible price.

How can I make sure I keep my personalised number plate?

To keep your personalised number plate, you should apply for a number plate retention through the DVLA. You can do this quickly and simply online. It’s really important to make sure the process is complete before you scrap the car, as you may not be able to get your plate back after collection.

Why is the scrap price different for different types of car?

The scrap value of a car is based on weight – and because different cars weigh different amounts, this means the price will vary. We’ll always help you get the maximum amount for your car by getting quotes from car scrap yards in the Runcorn area that specialise in certain makes and models.

Can my son be with the car when it’s collected?

Yes, that’s okay. The law surrounding scrap metal collection means we will need someone over the age of 18 to be with the car when it’s picked up – but it doesn’t have to be the owner or registered keeper. If you’re going to nominate someone else, please make sure they have photo ID with them on collection day – and, if you can’t provide the V5C log book, they’ll need to show proof of address too.
