Why choose ScrapTrak in Fareham?
Fair offer
Tell us about the car and we’ll stick to our offer if it matches the details.
Free collection
Collection from covered addresses with suitable access, including homes, workplaces and garages. Confirm the location before booking.
Paid on pickup
Bank-transfer payment after vehicle and ownership checks, with a receipt for your records.
How it works
- Get a quote: Reg and postcode gets things moving.
- Pick a slot: Share access notes (permits, height bars, tight streets).
- We collect & pay: We check the vehicle and ownership details, arrange bank-transfer payment and complete the agreed collection.
- DVLA: We explain the DVLA notification steps for your circumstances. A Certificate of Destruction applies when a qualifying vehicle is completely scrapped through an ATF.
What sets the price?
- Weight & model – heavier vehicles usually pay more for metal.
- Completeness – catalyst, battery, wheels and panels all help.
- Condition/demand – runners and wanted parts can beat scrap value.
- Access – time on site if it’s tight or height-restricted.

Ready to scrap your car in Fareham?
Get a Fareham quote before deciding on repairs
If your car has failed its MOT or needs expensive work, request a quote for its current condition before committing to another repair. Explain the diagnosed faults, any accident damage and whether major parts are missing. If a garage has given an estimate, keep it available so known faults can be distinguished from suspected problems.
A complete non-runner and a car with components removed are different propositions. Tell us what will remain with the vehicle at collection, including any detached parts. There is no single price for every Fareham car: condition, completeness and collection access need to be considered with the vehicle details.
Confirm the exact Fareham collection location
The car may be in Fareham itself or at an address in Portchester, Stubbington, Hill Head, Titchfield, Locks Heath or Whiteley. Use the actual pickup postcode and property details rather than a broad area name. If the vehicle entrance is on a different road, explain that as well.
Tell us about height barriers, permit conditions, narrow turns or a shared parking court before booking. A map showing the wider area does not establish access to an individual car. For managed land, confirm who can permit collection and when they are available; do not assume a quotation gives permission to enter the site.
Collection from a garage or workplace
If the car is waiting at a Fareham garage, confirm that it can be released and whether it is assembled and ready to move. Ask who holds the keys and which entrance the collection vehicle should use. Any workshop or storage bill is a separate arrangement between you and that business.
For a car at work, identify the person responsible for gates or parking access. Tell ScrapTrak if somebody else will attend the handover so authority and document requirements can be agreed in advance. A named contact, confirmed release and accurate vehicle description make the booking much clearer.
What to do before the confirmed appointment
Check the booking for the correct registration, collection address and contact number. Remove personal belongings and gather the keys and documents requested by the team. If you have no V5C, explain that before collection rather than discovering a paperwork issue at the handover.
Keep access available by agreement with anyone sharing the drive or parking area. Do not attempt to push, tow or drive an unsafe vehicle into a different position. Describe any locked steering, seized wheel or flat tyre and let the team assess the existing location. Update us promptly if the car or its access changes after the quote.
Payment, records and the next DVLA step
The vehicle and ownership details are checked at collection before bank-transfer payment through the agreed process. Keep the receipt and record the buyer and vehicle details. A bank-transfer receipt, DVLA confirmation and Certificate of Destruction have different purposes, so ask which records apply to the way your vehicle is being transferred.
Follow the official DVLA scrapping guidance for the notification steps. If you want to retain a private registration, finish that process and receive the required documents before selling or scrapping the car. Our collection guide explains the sequence, and the FAQs cover common paperwork questions.
More questions before you decide
Can I scrap a non-running car in Fareham?
We consider non-runners, MOT failures and damaged cars. Give the full address and describe whether the car rolls, steers and has its keys. Access and condition are checked before a collection booking is agreed.
Is collection included in the Fareham offer?
Collection is free in covered areas once the location and access have been confirmed. Tell us about restrictions and the vehicle’s actual condition when requesting the quote, then check the agreed offer and collection arrangements before booking.
Can you collect from Portchester, Stubbington or Whiteley?
These areas are included in the existing Fareham collection information. Start with the vehicle’s full postcode and exact parking location so the team can confirm coverage, access and an available appointment for that address.
What if I cannot attend the Fareham handover?
Tell us before booking and explain who could attend instead. We need to agree the authority, documents, keys and access arrangements; do not assume a friend, workplace contact or garage can release the vehicle without those checks.
