  • Prefer to talk? Call 03330 500 500.

How we arrive at a price

Baseline value follows vehicle weight because metal is what’s recovered. Markets move that number. If your car has reusable parts — strong engine/gearbox, intact catalyst, clean alloys — the offer can beat bare scrap value. Missing wheels or a removed catalyst will reduce the figure. We keep that transparent.

We also capture access details (narrow lanes, low car parks, locked wheels) so we send the right truck and get it done first visit.

No collection fee

Payment is by bank transfer on collection. The ATF handles depollution and issues your Certificate of Destruction. We’ll point you to the DVLA online form so you’re no longer the registered keeper.

What you’ll need

  • Photo ID and proof of address (to meet scrap metal regulations).
  • V5C logbook if you have it. No V5C? You can still proceed — bring ID, proof of ownership and notify DVLA yourself.
  • Keys and access notes (flat battery, limited height, narrow lanes, locked wheels, etc.).
  • Tell us if the catalyst or wheels are missing so we can set expectations.

Legal basics

  • End-of-life vehicles must be processed at an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). You’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction.
  • No cash. Payment is by bank transfer or non-transferable cheque.
  • Notify DVLA online after collection — we’ll share the link and reference.
  • Want to check a site? You can look up licensed ATFs on public registers.

Areas Covered

We collect across Hampshire and West Sussex. Use the links below to visit the local page for your area.

Each local page can include a short intro, a few town-specific FAQs and nearby areas. Keep wording natural — no repeated key phrases needed.

Vehicles we collect

  • Scrap, damaged and non-running cars (petrol, diesel, hybrid and EV).
  • MOT failures, SORN vehicles and insurance write-offs (Cat N/S).
  • Cars with missing keys, flat tyres or light accident damage (just let us know).
  • Small vans, 4x4s and light commercials.

What happens after collection

Your vehicle goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility for depollution and recycling. Reusable parts are recovered where appropriate and metals return to the supply chain. The facility issues a Certificate of Destruction; we’ll remind you to complete the DVLA notification so your keeper record updates immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Can you pay cash?

No. Payment must be traceable, so we pay by bank transfer or non-transferable cheque.

Do I get a Certificate of Destruction?

Yes. Once the ATF completes scrappage, a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) is issued. Keep it with your records.

What if I’ve lost the V5C?

You can still recycle the vehicle. Bring ID and proof of address; you’ll also need to notify DVLA yourself after collection.

Will you take a non-runner?

Yes. Most cars we collect don’t drive. Tell us about access (low car parks, narrow lanes, locked wheels) so we send the right truck.

Why do some cars get more than scrap value?

Reusable parts and overall condition can justify a higher offer. Engines, gearboxes, catalysts and clean panels all help.
