A service that benefits the community

Welsh roads are getting busier. In fact, even the last 3 years have seen a noticeable increase in the number of cars and light vans using South Wales roads. As the capital, it’s no surprise that this has also meant an increased number of accidents in Cardiff too; nearly 1,500 collisions have occurred in the same 3-year period.

Car.co.uk’s social value programs see accident damaged and written-off cars like these used to help transform local people’s lives. When you use our service to scrap your car in Cardiff, we’re able to support a number of organisations to deliver assisted residential programs, HMP Academies and food redistribution networks – both locally and nationally.

Using scrap cars to create real social value around the UK

An unbeatable deal for your scrap car can also be life-changing for vulnerable people around the country

When we help you to find the best scrap car prices from vehicle recyclers in the Cardiff area, our unique way of working means we're also providing an incredible service for a number of charities and good causes, both in the UK and abroad.

The social value projects we support include:

Supported living schemes for people who may otherwise face homelessness
Food redistribution networks that ensure no good food goes to waste
HMP Academies and training programmes designed to reduce reoffending

While the charity work provides an obvious benefit for the people who engage with it – a wider, overall effect is felt by communities when these projects ease the strain on the police, the courts, social housing resources, and the benefits system.

Frequently asked questions

We’ve answered some of our most frequently asked questions here – but if you have a question that isn’t on our list, you’re welcome to get in touch using our instant messenger service – or explore our wide range of other FAQs.

How do I declare my car is off the road?

If you’re not driving or keeping your car on a public road, you could make a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN). To do this, you should contact the DVLA, either online or by post.

Can I get paid before you pick up my scrap car?

No. The scrap car dealers we work with in Cardiff will need to ensure that the car is present and was described accurately during the quote. Your payment will normally come promptly after collection, and in accordance with the scrap car networks payment terms.

Are your Cardiff scrap car prices guaranteed?

Yes. Provided the car is in the condition you described during the quotation, you will receive the exact amount that was agreed.

What is an ATF?

ATF stands for Authorised Treatment Facility. This is the name that’s given to a scrapyard that follows government issued legal guidelines, to ensure their vehicles go through the appropriate depollution processes.

What if I have no keys?

It’s no problem if you’ve lost or just don’t have keys for your car. Each of the Cardiff scrap dealers we’re partnered with has specialist equipment designed to move cars that can’t be accessed or started.

Do you give me a set time for collection?

Yes, we can. After accepting our quote, you’ll be able to pick a time from a selection of available slots. The scrap collection partner who picks your car up will normally call in advance too, making sure you have time to travel to the car if it’s at a different location.
