Car.co.uk contributes to good causes

Oldham roads have witnessed nearly 2,000 road traffic accidents in the past 5 years, making the town one of the more dangerous parts of Lancashire to drive a car or van. If accident numbers don’t reduce significantly in the next 5 years, the wider area will miss international targets set to reduce car accidents globally.

Although car accidents are never a good thing, Car.co.uk can use the funds created by written-off cars to channel money back into local good causes. If you’re looking for a quote to scrap your car today in Oldham, choosing our simple service means you get a great price – and we can continue to support life-changing charities around the North West.

I need to change my mind about the quote. What should I do?
Description
We understand people might change their mind about scrapping their car. If this happens, please just let us know as soon as possible. If you don’t, and our scrap partner attempts pickup, they may charge for their wasted time.
Title
What’s an authorised treatment facility?
Description
An Authorised Treatment Facility – or ATF for short – is the name given to a scrap yard or breakers yard that follows strict government rules around the dismantling, storage, and recycling of end of life vehicles (ELVs).
Title
My insurance company need a COD. Can you provide one?
Description
Yes, a COD will be provided to you. A COD – or certificate of destruction – is sometimes required by an insurance company to prove the car has been disposed of – but only authorised treatment facilities can request that one is issued. All our Oldham scrap partners meet ATF approval – and they’ll make sure a copy of the COD is forwarded to you when dismantling takes place.
Title
Can I keep my private registration if I scrap my car?
Description
Yes. You should do this by applying for a number plate retention certificate through the DVLA. You can apply either online or through the post. You will be able to transfer the registration to a different vehicle or an official retention document. It’s important to make sure this process is complete before your car is removed.
Title
What does ELV mean?
Description
ELV stands for End of Life Vehicle. ELV describes any vehicle that can no longer be used or repaired, either as a result of normal wear and tear or accidental damage. ELVs are dismantled, depolluted and recycled at government accredited authorised treatment facilities.
Title
Do you accept commercial vehicles at your Oldham sites?
Description
Yes, we do. Each of our Oldham car scrap partners can collect and handle a wide range of vehicles – from small cars – to large vans and HGVs
