What documents are required when scraping a car with Scrap My Car?

When scrapping your car with us, you need to provide the necessary documents, including a Letter of Authorization if you can't be present during the collection. Additionally, for vehicle collection, a Log Book Replacement (RF 134) may be required. We streamline this process to make it hassle-free for our customers.

How much will I get compared to scrapping my car?

Calculating the scrap value of a car can be impacted by a variety of factors. This includes the seasonality, demand in the scrap metal market, and the salvageable parts from the vehicle. Companies that buy scrap cars will take at least some basic criteria into consideration before deciding how much the car is worth. For example, the scrap value of a small city car is likely to be less than that of a large 4x4 due to less usable metal on the vehicle. Also, the location of the buyer may impact the value of your car due to increased overheads depending on where the nearest port is located.
