Frequently asked questions

We’ve answered some of our most frequently asked questions here. If you have a question we haven’t covered, please don’t hesitate to explore our full range of FAQs – or get in touch using our instant messenger service.

Can you help me keep my personal registration when the car’s scrapped?

Yes, that’s no problem at all. To make sure you keep your personalised registration when you scrap your car, you’ll need to make sure it’s removed from the vehicle you’re scrapping. You can do this through the post – but the whole process can be completed instantly using the DVLA’s online service. It’s important to make sure this is done before collection, as it can be difficult to do when your car has been transferred.

What am I expected to do with the vehicle logbook?

When your car is picked up, you’ll need to complete section 9 of the V5C log book document. This is a yellow coloured tear-out slip on the 3rd page that’s designed specifically for people who are selling their car to scrap dealers or dismantlers. There are a few details to complete – before making sure the slip is sent to the DVLA address you’ll find on the rear. It’s your legal responsibility to make sure the DVLA are informed of any changes to the vehicle’s ownership – but our collection partner will be happy to help.

What happens if I’ve lost the car keys?

Lost car keys aren’t a problem. Our well-equipped scrap partners in Atherton have the vehicles and equipment needed to move a car that doesn’t come with keys.

If you buy my scrap car in Atherton, I’ll need a set pickup time – is that okay?

Yes, that’s fine. When you accept your quote, you’ll be able to select a time that’s exactly right for you.

I’ve changed my mind – what should I do?

If you change your mind about a quote that you’ve accepted, it’s important to let us know as quickly as possible. Our specialist collection partners often travel long distances to pick up specific cars, so we’ll have to give them notice if you’ve changed your mind.

Should I expect my payment before or after collection?

Your payment will be made promptly after collection. We ask the scrap car dealers that we work with in Atherton to inspect every car that’s collected – that way, we can make sure they’re present, and have been accurately described during the quotation process.
