100% Coverage across Lancaster

The county town, Lancaster stands on the banks of the River Lune. The Port of Lancaster, which services the Lune, helped the city grow from strength to strength back in the day, but these days Glasson Dock is where most nautical traffic converges. Allow us to work this into a car-related metaphor: While historic, vintage or retro motors still hold sentimental value, eventually the time will come for something newer to come along and do its job better. After all, they do say “if you love something, let it go.” If it’s time to let your old car or van go, get in touch with National Scrap Car and we’ll make sure that you get a price that your old vehicle deserves and put it to good use, by recycling as much of it as is possible!

We offer complete scrap coverage across Lancaster and nearby, including Slyne, Bailrigg, Aldcliffe and Quernmore.

Prices in Lancaster are mostly determined by scrap yards local to the city which follows the average cost for scrap metal in the north-west of England. All vehicles that need to be scrapped have their prices determined by their weight. Small variables include things like alloy wheels being present.

Heavier vehicles like scrap vans or 4x4s will have more metal that can be recycled, and a better price offered. We only work with approved auto junk yards (known as an Authorised Treatment Facility) which will depollute and recycle your car or van ethically and legally.

The prices we offer include free collection from wherever you are in Lancaster, help with the paperwork and high professional standards to ensure a smooth experience from start to finish.

Whether your car or van is right on the River Lune or further south down the A6, our approved scrap yards across the UK offer car collection from where you are. At the time of booking we’ll ensure recovery vehicles can access your vehicle.

Scrapping your vehicle FAQs

What do I need to do before my car is collected?

After you have agreed the price on offer, you can provide us with more details regarding the status of the car and us getting access to it. You don’t need to empty, clean, or modify your car in any way but please remove anything you don’t want destroyed at the time of scrapping.

What will happen on the day of collection?

Once we have all the necessary details we will pass this on to the scrap yard that has offered you the best price. They will be in touch via phone to arrange a convenient time to pick up the vehicle. On the day they’ll phone as they approach and request things like the V5C (which you aren’t required to have) or keys (again, not necessarily required so long as the vehicle can still be removed). You, as the owner, don’t have to be present on the day but you’ll need a signed note from the owner and photo ID.

When do I get paid?

We make payment on the same day the car is collected. Once the scrap yard has notified us of car being present and correct, we’ll release payment via BACS to the account you have provided. You should see the cash available to you that day.
