2. My scrap car has been stood and unused for some time and will not start/move?
This instance is not an issue at all, in fact a high percentage of cars / vehicles collected by us have long since been roadworthy, please be assured it makes no difference whether the scrap car has been stood for years, months or weeks – we shall safely uplift it for you and be able to scrap it.

3. Does my scrap car need to be complete?
In an ideal world yes – but we fully appreciate that small parts may have been removed by you, all that we ask is please tell us the full extent of the scrap car via the extra notes section within our online scrap request instruction form.

7. Am I required to do anything before and after collection?
You need to clear all personal contents from your scrap. You must then complete section 9 of the logbook (V5) and send it to the DVLA. Failure to notify them could result in a fine. If you do not have the V5 then you must notify them in writing (Always recorded post).
