Frequently asked questions

No we do not sell car parts
Before we can scrap your car, we must first verify your identity and perform a few checks. Documents required are:
- A valid driver’s license or passport.
- The vehicle’s logbook (V5C).
- A service/MOT history is desirable
You can tell the DVLA that your car is being scrapped, on their website or by post.
Online
If you would like to notify the DVLA on their website, you will need the name and address of the scrapyard, your V5C logbook number and your vehicle’s details such as vehicle registration number.
It will require an 11-digit reference number which you will find in section four if your logbook was issued after April 2019, or in section nine if it was issued before April 2019.
Fill out the form and the DVLA will now know your car has been scrapped.
By post
To notify the DVLA by post you will need the name and address of the scrapyard and the vehicle registration number.
DVLA recommends that you complete section 4 of your V5 logbook, or section 9 if your V5 dates from before April 2019. The address is:
DVLA
Swansea
SA99 1BA
You should obtain a receipt from the DVLA to confirm that everything has been taken care of for you.
No we only do collections and do not permit anyone onsite
If you’re looking to scrap your car, you may be wondering how you’ll get paid. The good news is that at our Scrap Car Network, we make the payment process quick and easy. We’ll transfer the money directly into your bank account, so you don’t have to worry about carrying around large amounts of cash. Plus, recent changes to the law have made it illegal to pay cash for scrap cars – so our payment methods are designed to keep you safe and compliant with the law.

When you scrap your car, you will need to provide some documentation to the scrap metal dealer. This is in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, which requires dealers to verify the name and address of anyone selling scrap metal. The specific documents you will need to provide are your car keys, registration document (V5C), and locking wheel nut key if your car has alloy wheels. You may also have other paperwork for the car that you should provide at the time of collection. By scrapping your car with a licensed dealer, you can be sure that all legal requirements will be met and that you will receive the best possible price for your scrap metal.
Regardless of the condition of your scrap car, you should always get paid when you scrap it. After all, scrap cars are made of valuable metal that can be recycled and reused. So, if you’re looking to scrap your car, be sure to take it to a reputable scrap yard that offers great service and pays top dollar for scrap cars. In most cases, you can even get same-day payment for your scrap car. So, don’t wait – scrap your old car today!
