How does Car.co.uk help you connect with scrap car dealers in East Grinstead?

We take the effort out of scrapping a car

For most people, scrapping a car is done infrequently – it’s probably a task you’ll only ever do once or twice. At Car.co.uk, we’re car scrapping experts – and our service is designed to extend that knowledge and experience to you.

With our network of scrap dealers and dismantlers, this means we’re absolutely certain that we’ll provide the best scrap car prices in East Grinstead – but it’s not just price that sets us apart.

We realise that many cars just aren’t suitable for use on the road – so, after finding you an unbeatable quote – we’ll make sure we instruct a scrap car collection service in the East Grinstead area to recover your car, totally free of charge.

When your car is ready to go, you’ll even be supported with your DVLA paperwork – making sure the whole process is tied up quickly and neatly.

We support local charities

Accident numbers on East Grinstead roads have remained close to the same for almost a decade – a picture that’s echoed across West Sussex. The region is currently on track to miss international targets designed to reduce injuries and fatalities on our roads – with an 11% increase in the number of serious accidents in recent years.

This higher-than-average number of accidents in and around the town means an equally high number of cars scrapped as a result of poor road safety – but it’s cars like these that we can utilise to support social value programmes.

We use written off and accident damaged cars like these to directly fund good causes across the UK. If you’re looking to scrap your car for cash in East Grinstead, using our service means you’re having a positive impact on charity and community projects in the areas that need them the most.

Using scrap cars to support vulnerable people

A great deal for your scrap car in East Grinstead also creates life-changing charity donations.

At Car.co.uk, we're proud to support a large number of charities and good causes in the UK and abroad – and your scrap car quote will help us to continue these important contributions.

As well as being positive for the environment, recycling your old or damaged car with Car.co.uk means we can:

Fund HMP training academies
Support assisted living schemes
Help to grow food redistribution networks

Social value projects like these don't just positively impact the people who access them – their effect can be felt much more widely – not least by reducing the strain on the emergency services, local healthcare provisions, and wider social care services – all of which are often close to breaking point.

Scrapping your car might not feel like something that could make a life-saving change to a person's life – or food for a child who might otherwise go to bed hungry – but when you do it with Car.co.uk, this is exactly the kind of work you're helping to deliver.

Frequently asked questions

We receive a lot of questions about scrapping cars. We’ve covered some of the most common ones here – but if you have a query that’s not on the list, we’re always happy answer your questions. Why not test one of our experts using our instant messaging service?

Is my car considered an ‘ELV’ if I’m scrapping it?

If you’re ready for your car to be scrapped – then yes, it’s likely that it’ll then be considered an End of Life Vehicle (ELV). Generally, cars become ELVs as a result of accident damage or long-term wear and tear. ELVs must be scrapped at government authorised facilities.

Can I nominate a friend to be with the car when it’s collected?

Yes, that’s no problem at all. To make sure our scrap partners are working within scrap collection laws, they will need someone to be with the vehicle – but it doesn’t have to be the legal owner. You’ll need to make sure your nominated friend has a form of photo ID with them to show our collection partner – and, if you won’t be supplying the vehicle’s V5C form – a recent proof of address too.

What should I do with the log book (V5C)?

You’ll need to complete section 9 of the V5C log book and send it back to the DVLA on the address you’ll find on the rear. You’ll need a few details about the scrap dealer buying your car – to get these; you can either talk to our collection driver when they arrive – or call us – we’re happy to help either way.

How will you value my scrap car?

The scrap value of your car is likely to be based on its weight – but we will offer it to specialist scrap buyers who are looking for certain makes and models; in an effort to maximise the value of your vehicle.

Can I remove and keep my stereo?

Yes, that’s fine. Our collection partners would like to see a stereo in the car, so if you can replace yours with the original unit they’d appreciate the effort.

Do you know any scrap car buyers in East Grinstead that can collect a car with missing wheels?

Yes. Each of the car scrap yards we work with in the East Grinstead area have the specialist equipment needed to collect a car that has no wheels.
