Scrap Car Collection FAQs
Do you have all of the relevant certifications and legal requirements to remove my car?
Yes! National Scrap Car is a certified service provider, operating ethically and responsibly scrapping vehicles across the UK. We only work with Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATF) and specialist buyers, ensuring all vehicles are handled and disposed of in a safe, environmentally friendly way. All of our sales advisors are fully trained, and all of the buyers on our network are checked, verified and regularly monitored to ensure they uphold the high standard of work we carry out.
Can you do same day collections?
To ensure you get the best price for your vehicle, and that you find the right buyer, the typical turnaround time for a collection is usually 1-3 days. We work around you to make sure your vehicle is collected on a mutually convenient date for both yourself and your chosen buyer. This could be the next day, or in a couple of days to work around schedules.
What does the collection process involve?
On the day of your collection, your chosen buyer will typically give you a courtesy call to ensure you’re ready for collection. Upon arrival, all of the documents will be checked, the V5C (logbook) will be completed and all of the necessary paperwork and keys will be handed to the buyer. The vehicle will then be loaded onto the recovery vehicle, and if you’ve opted for payment via bank transfer, the buyer will take your details to start the payment. If you’ve opted for payment via cheque, the buyer will write you a cheque. Once the vehicle is loaded, the process is complete and the vehicle will be taken away and you will receive payment for the vehicle. If you’ve opted for a cheque payment please allow 3-4 working days for this to process.
Are your offers really the best price I can get for vehicle scrappage?
Our quotes are the most competitive in the market. This is because our scrap value calculator looks at the main factors affecting the prices and compares these values with our network of buyers, ensuring you get the best price. The price of scrap metal will affect how much money it’s worth. To get an instant valuation for your vehicle simply input your registration and postcode into the form above. Using this information we can offer you a guaranteed valuation for us to come and collect your car.
The vehicle is in missing parts, will this affect the price or likelihood of collection?
No! We have a whole network of scrap and salvage buyers who have a wealth of experience in collecting different vehicles in many different conditions. Whether you’ve got parts missing, or the vehicle is severely damaged, we can offer a range of quotes from our network buyers. As long as your vehicle has been described accurately and honestly, and your chosen buyer is fully aware of the condition of your vehicle, then the price you’re quoted is the price you will receive. If you’re unsure if your vehicle is suitable for scrapping, get in touch with one of our friendly advisors for advice, information and quotes.
Do you pay more for a vehicle in better condition?
The prices you’ll get offered for your vehicle will be affected by a number of different factors. This includes:
- The weight of the vehicle – the greater the weight, the greater the value.
- The vehicle make – certain makes of vehicle will be worth more than others.
- The vehicle model – as with makes, certain models will be worth more than others.
- The condition of the vehicle – if a vehicle has salvagable parts or could be repairable, it’s value will be higher.
Do I need the keys, log book, service history or anything else for you to collect?
In order to collect your vehicle, we will need all sets of keys and while not always necessary, it’s handy to have the vehicles logbook. Any service or MOT history documents are not essential, but if you do have any it’s beneficial to bring. You will also need proof of ID, either a driving license or a passport so our buyers can verify who you are. If you are missing your log book and want to replace it, find out more in our logbook guide.
I can’t meet you at the collection point at the set time, will this be an issue?
If you can no longer make the collection time, please let your chosen buyer know at the earliest convenience so they can arrange an alternative collection time.
