Scrap car prices & car scrap value in Basildon?

The first thing you need to determine when scrapping your car is its value. The payments for scrapped vehicles can vary widely, depending on several factors when bought by an authorised treatment facility.

It is crucial to consider the size and weight of your vehicle. The make, model, as well as the age of the vehicle will also influence the value.

Additionally, the constantly fluctuating scrap metal market can affect the scrap car prices quoted. The location of the scrap car dealers is another factor to consider.

Dealers may be more willing to pay more for cars in certain areas, such as Basildon. Finally, the condition of your car when it’s delivered to the scrapyard will also affect its value.

Cars that have been stripped of all their parts will be worth less than ones that are still running.

Would you be able to pay me cash for my scrap car?

All of our payments are made via bank transfer. Due to the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, we are not able to scrap for cash.

We will pay by instant bank payment once the driver arrives to collect the car and the payment clears immediately BEFORE the vehicle is taken away.

We will wait until you have received it before the driver leaves with the vehicle. You will receive a receipt from the driver when the V5 is stamped for you to send to the DVLA.

After scrapping my car, how do I get my tax back?

A scrap car removal service removes unwanted vehicles for recycling. The registration of the car must be surrendered to the recycler in order to cancel the vehicle tax.

Direct Debits for car tax will be automatically cancelled by the DVLA, and any months remaining on the tax will be refunded. A check will be issued and made out to the registered keeper of the vehicle.

If you are the legal owner but not the registered keeper, you can write or contact the DVLA with proof of your ownership, such as a bill of sale.

Please include your name, address, and registration number. Additionally, be sure to mention that you want the car tax refund sent to your address.

Is it possible to scrap a car without paperwork

If you don’t have a registration certificate, you can still contact the DVLA to let them know your car has been scrapped. Make sure to give the full details of the scrap yard or recycling center handling your car, as well as the full car details including registration, make, model, and date of sale. The DVLA will need this information in order to remove the vehicle from their records and avoid any penalties for unlicensed vehicles.

Do you provide a certificate of destruction

We will also give you a certificate of destruction. only authorised centres are able to provide this. The certificate provides evidence the vehicle has been taken off of the road and scrapped. Without this document you could potentially still be liable for insurance or road tax. We are an authorised centre and can provide you with the certificate of destruction for your vehicle.
