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?

This year, it is anticipated that the charity started by our Founder Steve Jackson OBE, will deliver extra £10m of social value – by easing the strain on taxpayer-funded services. This value will be delivered across food redistribution networks; which have been in even higher demand since Covid-19 impacted our communities, offender rehabilitation schemes, and supported living services.

Frequently asked questions

It’s normal to have questions if you’re hoping to scrap your car. We’ve provided detailed information here – but you shouldn’t hesitate to get in touch with one of our experts if your questions aren’t covered below. Use our online instant messaging service to find your answers straight away.

Can I throw my V5C away – or do I need to complete it?

No, you shouldn’t throw it away. It’s your responsibility to complete Section 9 of the V5C and return it to the DVLA. Don’t worry though, the person who collects your car will assist with the completion and explain what’s needed in more detail if you’re unsure.

How much will my car be worth?

We calculate our Guildford scrap car prices based on weight and the elements we can salvage for recycling purposes. We’re able to maximise this price by working with specialist dismantlers; however, extras or modifications will not increase the price you’re offered.

Do you collect scrap cars in Guildford with missing wheels?

Yes. The Guildford scrap dealers we work with have the equipment needed to collect a car with no wheels. In fact, they can collect all sorts of vehicles with missing parts and in various states of disarray.

What will happen if I can’t be with the car?

If you’re not able to be with the car when it’s collected – don’t worry. We do need someone to be with the vehicle – but it doesn’t have to be the registered keeper or owner. On collection day, your nominated person will just need to show our collection partner a piece of photo ID and proof of address to ensure we’re working within the law surrounding scrap collection.

I’ve seen the phrase ELV used on some paperwork – what does it mean?

ELV or ‘End of Life Vehicle’ is the official term used to describe a car that is no longer suitable for use on the road – either due to wear and tear or accident damage. ELVs must be dismantled and depolluted by scrap yards that follow the strict laws surrounding scrap metal and waste materials.

I’ve changed my mind about having my car scrapped, what should I do next?

We understand that circumstances may change – so we simply ask you to let us know as soon as possible if you change your mind about scrapping your car. The scrap car dealers we work with in Guildford are always busy, so if you don’t let us know; they may charge for a wasted collection journey.
