The straightforward way to scrap a car in Scotland
Scottish Salvage Group buys scrap and end-of-life vehicles right across the country. We are a SEPA-licensed authorised treatment facility, which means your car is depolluted and recycled to the legal standard — and the paperwork that takes it off your name is handled properly, every time.
Whether it is an MOT failure sitting on the drive, an insurance write-off, a tired diesel caught by a Low Emission Zone, or a runner you simply want gone, the process is the same: tell us the reg, we give you a firm price, and we collect for free on a day that suits you. No haggling at the kerb, no cash games, no chasing the DVLA afterwards.

How much is my scrap car worth?
It depends on the weight, the metal market and whether the car is worth more for parts than as scrap. Most cars in Scotland fall between £120 and £400, with larger 4x4s, vans and clean salvage worth more. Pop your reg into the quote box for a firm figure in seconds.
Is collection really free?
Yes. We never charge to collect, anywhere in Scotland — driveway, kerbside, tenement back court or a farm track. The price we quote is the price you are paid, with nothing knocked off at the door.
Do you pay cash for cars?
No — and neither should anyone else. Paying cash for scrap is illegal in Scotland under the Air Weapons and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2015, just as it is south of the border. We pay by instant bank transfer the moment the car is loaded, which is legal, faster and leaves you a clear record.
What paperwork do I need?
Ideally your V5C logbook, but we can still collect without it. We notify the DVLA for you and send your Certificate of Destruction, so the car is properly off your name and you can reclaim any remaining road tax.
Do you cover the whole of Scotland?
We do — from the Borders and Dumfries up through the Central Belt to Aberdeen, the Highlands and the islands. Choose your town to see local collection times.
