Local collection
A straightforward way to scrap your car in Havant
Scrapping a car is usually something people want sorted quickly. It might have failed its MOT, stopped running, been damaged, or sat unused for months. Whatever the reason, we’ll keep the process simple.
You tell us what the car is, where it is and what condition it’s in. We confirm the price, arrange collection and pay by bank transfer when the vehicle is collected.
What we need from you
- Vehicle registration
- Collection postcode
- Whether the car starts, rolls and steers
- Whether you have the keys and V5C
- Any parking, height barrier or access issues
- Photos if the car is damaged or difficult to reach
How it works
How Havant scrap car collection works
Send the reg
Start with the registration and Havant collection postcode so we can identify the vehicle.
Tell us the condition
Let us know if it starts, rolls, steers, has keys, has missing parts or needs careful recovery.
Book collection
We agree a collection time and plan around parking, access and any restrictions at the address.
Get paid
Once the vehicle and details are checked, payment is made by bank transfer and we explain the DVLA steps.

Vehicles we buy
Cars we collect in Havant
If the car is old, broken, uneconomical to repair or simply in the way, send us the details. We’ll tell you what it’s worth and how collection would work.
MOT failures
Failed MOT cars where the repair quote is more than the car is worth.
Non-runners
Cars that will not start, cannot be driven or need recovery.
Accident damaged cars
Crash damaged cars, insurance write-offs and damaged vehicles.
No keys
Lost keys are not always a deal-breaker. We just need to plan collection properly.
Vans
Small vans and light commercial vehicles collected from homes, yards and business premises.
Electric and hybrid cars
EVs and hybrids handled carefully, with the right information taken before collection.
Scrap value cars
Vehicles priced mainly on weight, completeness and current local scrap value.
Unwanted cars
Cars sitting on driveways, in garages or on private land that need to be moved on.
Collection access
Tell us where the car is parked before collection
Havant collections can be simple driveway jobs, but not always. Some cars are in car parks, behind garages, on residential roads, at workshops, on business sites or parked somewhere with awkward recovery access.
If the vehicle is in a pay-and-display car park, has a height barrier, is blocked in, has flat tyres, locked steering, seized brakes or no keys, let us know before collection. It helps us avoid wasted trips and plan the right setup.
Useful details to mention
- Exact parking location
- Whether the car starts
- Whether it rolls and steers
- Flat tyres or seized brakes
- Height barriers or car park levels
- Keys, V5C and any missing parts
Prices
What affects your scrap car price in Havant?
The best way to get a real price is to send us the vehicle details, but there are a few things that usually affect the quote.
Weight and type
Heavier vehicles often have a higher baseline scrap value, but model and demand can also matter.
Condition
Whether it starts, rolls, steers and has key parts still fitted can affect collection and value.
Missing parts
Tell us if the catalytic converter, battery, wheels, engine, gearbox or panels are missing.
Scrap or salvage
Some cars are worth more than basic scrap if they have useful parts or repairable damage.
Paperwork
V5C, DVLA, tax and payment
We’ll explain the paperwork before the car is taken away. If you have the V5C logbook, keep it handy. If you do not have it, tell us before collection so we can explain what details may be needed.
Payment is made by bank transfer after collection checks. If you want to keep a private number plate, sort that before the vehicle is collected.
Before collection, check:
- You have ID if requested
- The V5C is available if you have it
- You have removed personal belongings
- You have taken off any private plate you want to keep
- You have access to the car on collection day
