What "scrapping" actually means
A scrap or end-of-life car is one that has reached the end of its useful road life — an MOT failure, an insurance write-off, a non-runner, or simply a car worth more recycled than repaired. By law it must go through a SEPA-licensed authorised treatment facility (ATF), where it is depolluted, the parts worth saving are recovered, and the shell is recycled.
Sell it to the wrong operator and the DVLA record can be left open, which means tax reminders, penalty notices and insurance letters chasing you long after the car has gone. We close the record properly and send your Certificate of Destruction, so the car is genuinely off your name — and your road tax refund is triggered automatically.
Why sell your scrap car to us
We are a licensed yard, not a faceless lead form. The figure we quote against your reg is the figure that lands in your account by bank transfer — there is no quiet deduction when the truck arrives. Collection is free across Scotland, and we bring the right kit whether the car is on a driveway, a tenement back court or a farm track. New to the process? How to scrap a car in Scotland walks through it start to finish.

Common questions
How much will I get for my scrap car?
Most cars in Scotland come in between £120 and £400, with larger 4x4s, vans and clean salvage worth more. The figure depends on weight, the current scrap-metal market and whether the car is worth more for parts. Enter your reg for a firm price.
Do you collect for free?
Yes — collection is free anywhere in Scotland and the price we quote is the price you are paid, with nothing deducted at the kerb.
What if the car doesn't start?
No problem. We winch non-runners onto the truck. The car does not need to start, drive, or have an MOT.
How soon can you collect?
Most of Scotland is same-day or next-day. Remote and island collections may take a little longer, but we'll tell you the slot when you book.
