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.

The above advert sounds lucrative. Doesn’t it?

Hundreds of these cash for cars adverts pop up every day on facebook, donedeal and adverts.ie.

But are you aware that you are legally required to dispose of your old car at an Authorised Treatment Facility? (ATF) That you have to get a certificate of destruction (COD)? If you don’t you could be facing a €100 fine or even worse,
a fine of up to €5,000, upon summary conviction in a district court.

The above adverts also show that these ‘operators’ are unconcerned by documentation, condition, lack of keys,or even proven ownership.

Who is to stop someone ringing these people, getting them to lift a random vehicle, taking the money and walking away with cash in hand? The actual owner left wondering where their car got to? What does the owner do if this car is sold on and used in a spate of burglaries or involved in a hit and run? Or indeed, how can the person posting these adverts be a verified seller on donedeal, having 6 current adverts and a history having posted 642 adverts in the past?

THE MIND BOGGLES!

Please don’t give these people your cars. Please get a Certificate of Destruction (COD) from an Authorized Treatment Facility (ATF) before you give away the car and ensure that you receive your COD before you relinquish the vehicle, as once it’s gone, it’s gone. We get a lot of enquiries about how the Certificate of Destruction system works and have put together an FAQ on them.
