How much do you get for scrapping a car?

Scrap Local values vehicles on a price per tonne basis, however we may be able to offer you more than scrap for:

• Vehicles younger than 8 years old
• Classic vehicles
• Desirable makes and models

Price for Scrap Vehicles

The price you'll get for scrapping your car with Scrap Local will mainly depend on how much your vehicle weighs.

However, alloy wheels could increase the scrap price you'll get for your car.

We don't take your car's condition into account when making a quote for scrap, so you won't have to worry about being knocked down on price for any bumps, scratches or marks.

Price for Salvage and Classic Vehicles

The price you'll get for your salvage or classic vehicle will depend on the following factors:

• Age
• Make and Model
• Condition
• If it starts and drives
• Vehicle is complete

If you provide Scrap Local's salvage team with images, correct information and an accurate description of your vehicle's condition, then you'll receive the price we've quoted.

Do you get paid a guaranteed price if you scrap your car with Scrap Local?

Scrap Local is not a scrap car comparison site! Our trusted collection agents aim to give customers the best possible scrap car prices for end of life vehicles and won't charge hidden admin fees unlike many of our competitors.

When you complete our form, you'll receive a quote from one of our trusted agents.

The price you receive could increase if your vehicle:

• Has alloy wheels
• Is considered a classic or salvage vehicle

However, Scrap Local won't knock you down on price when we come to collect your vehicle providing that it is complete and as described.

In short, the price we say is the price we pay!

Do I need a log book (V5C) to scrap my vehicle?

You don't need to have your vehicle log book (V5C) when you scrap your car with Scrap Local's trusted auto buyers.

The two things you'll need when we come to collect your car for scrap are:

• A set of keys to your vehicle
• Valid photo ID

However, having your V5C will make the overall process of scrapping your car less hassle for you.

You need to give the V5C to the collection agent and keep the yellow slip they remove from it so that you can notify DVLA that you've scrapped your vehicle if necessary.

Do I have to notify DVLA when you remove my vehicle?

No, Scrap Local aims to make scrapping cars as simple as possible and has a large network of local Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) who will take care of any paperwork for you.

Once your car has been collected for scrap, the ATF will:

• Complete any necessary paperwork
• Notify DVLA that your car's been scrapped
• A certificate of destruction will be available upon request

Scrap Local's reliable agents aim to issue a certificate of destruction within 3 working days.

However, if you do need to notify DVLA to say that your car has been collected for scrap, then you can do so online with the following details:

• Name and address of the ATF your vehicle is going to
• Your vehicle's REG
• 11 digit reference number from section 9 or 4 of your V5C (the yellow slip)

When your vehicle is collected for scrap, you will need to ask the agent for this information and make a note of it. You should also remember who collected your vehicle and their contact details in case you need them for future reference.

If you're looking to scrap your car in your local area, then why not submit an enquiry to Scrap Local to see how we can help you. Our team will connect you directly to one vehicle buyer in your area who will quote you a price and arrange to collect your car from you.

Alternatively, you can browse our network to find a local agent who can scrap your car near you without any hassle.

What should I remove from my car before I scrap it?

If you don't want any deductions from the scrap car price you're quoted, your vehicle must be complete.

Minor things like stereos, DVD players, and small cosmetics won't matter so much, however parts that could impact the weight of your vehicle will.

Your vehicle must have the following parts in order to receive the scrap car price quoted:

• Engine
• Gearbox
• Doors
• Seats
• Steering wheel
• Wheels
• Battery
• Exhaust system

It goes without saying that you should remove any valuables from your vehicle before one of Scrap Local's trusted car breakers comes to collect it.

The likelihood of getting any personal effects back is slim as a vehicle is usually de-polluted and crushed straight away once it's taken to a car scrap yard.

So check your glove box and boot for any paperwork or valuables before one of our agents arrives to collect your car for scrap!

What happens to my road tax when I scrap my car?

You will need to cancel road tax on your car once it's collected for scrap or registered as off-road.

When you cancel your road tax you could get a partial refund if:

• You've paid for tax in-full once
• You have over 1 month's worth of tax left on your vehicle

If you've paid via direct debit, then you must cancel your road tax and payments through your bank as well. This will stop you from getting charged!

Scrap Local understands how tedious and daunting it can be to sort out your road tax after scrapping your car. If you're still unsure and want to find out more about road tax, then feel free to give Scrap Local's helpful team a call.

What happens to my insurance when my vehicle is scrapped?

Once your car has been collected for scrap or registered as off-road you can either:

• Cancel your insurance policy
• Transfer your insurance policy to a new vehicle

Be aware that admin fees may apply for choosing either one of these options.

Scrap Local advises that you check your policy carefully to see which option you should go for when sorting out your car insurance.

For more information on what to do with your car insurance, please give Scrap Local's helpful team a call.
