An amazing service from beginning to end

Atherton roads have witnessed around 250 road traffic accidents in the last 5 years – a lower than average figure that’s helped the number of serious Greater Manchester to drop by 8% since 2010.

We know that many scrap cars simply aren’t safe to drive, so, after we’ve found an amazing quote for you, we’ll arrange a convenient pickup service for your scrap car from anywhere in Atherton – and it’s completely free of charge!

When your car’s been collected, we’ll help you wrap up all of the official DVLA paperwork, before making sure you receive a prompt payment. We do everything we can to make sure our scrapping service is the best in the UK.

Frequently asked questions

Items
Title
Can you help me keep my personal registration when the car’s scrapped?
Description
Yes, that’s no problem at all. To make sure you keep your personalised registration when you scrap your car, you’ll need to make sure it’s removed from the vehicle you’re scrapping. You can do this through the post – but the whole process can be completed instantly using the DVLA’s online service. It’s important to make sure this is done before collection, as it can be difficult to do when your car has been transferred.
Title
What am I expected to do with the vehicle logbook?
Description
When your car is picked up, you’ll need to complete section 9 of the V5C log book document. This is a yellow coloured tear-out slip on the 3rd page that’s designed specifically for people who are selling their car to scrap dealers or dismantlers. There are a few details to complete – before making sure the slip is sent to the DVLA address you’ll find on the rear. It’s your legal responsibility to make sure the DVLA are informed of any changes to the vehicle’s ownership – but our collection partner will be happy to help.
Title
What happens if I’ve lost the car keys?
Description
Lost car keys aren’t a problem. Our well-equipped scrap partners in Atherton have the vehicles and equipment needed to move a car that doesn’t come with keys.
Title
If you buy my scrap car in Atherton, I’ll need a set pickup time – is that okay?
Description
Yes, that’s fine. When you accept your quote, you’ll be able to select a time that’s exactly right for you.
Title
I’ve changed my mind – what should I do?
Description
If you change your mind about a quote that you’ve accepted, it’s important to let us know as quickly as possible. Our specialist collection partners often travel long distances to pick up specific cars, so we’ll have to give them notice if you’ve changed your mind.
Title
Should I expect my payment before or after collection?
Description
Your payment will be made promptly after collection. We ask the scrap car dealers that we work with in Atherton to inspect every car that’s collected – that way, we can make sure they’re present, and have been accurately described during the quotation process.
