Do you collect for free?+
Yes. Collection is always free across Manchester, Oldham, Stockport, Rochdale, Bolton and surrounding postcodes. The price you're quoted is the price you're paid.
Can I scrap a car without a V5 logbook?+
Yes. We can scrap vehicles without a V5C — we just need proof of ID and that you're the registered keeper. We'll handle the DVLA notification.
How quickly will you pay me?+
Payment is made by instant bank transfer the moment our driver loads your vehicle. No cheques, no waiting.
Do you take non-runners, MOT failures or accident-damaged cars?+
Absolutely. We specialise in non-runners, MOT failures, write-offs and accident-damaged vehicles. Same price, same day collection.
Are you a licensed scrap dealer?+
Yes. We are a fully licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, registered with the Environment Agency. You'll receive a DVLA Certificate of Destruction for your records.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?+
Photo ID (driving licence or passport) and ideally your V5C logbook. If you don't have the V5, we can still scrap the vehicle — we'll just need an additional ID check.
Do you scrap electric vehicles?+
Yes. We're equipped to safely collect and process electric and hybrid vehicles, including handling traction batteries through approved recyclers.
Can I scrap a car on finance?+
Only if the finance has been fully paid off. You'll need a settlement letter from the finance company confirming the vehicle is yours to scrap.
What happens to my car after collection?+
Your vehicle is taken to our Authorised Treatment Facility, depolluted (fluids, battery, airbags removed), and either parted out or shredded for metal recycling — all in line with End-of-Life Vehicle regulations.
