We support important charity work

Blackburn roads have witnessed over 2,100 accidents in the past 5 years – a figure that represents an 8% increase in road traffic collisions over the same timeframe. This large number of accidents puts a £323 million annual strain on local services – or £219 per year for every taxpaying Blackburn resident.

By trusting Car.co.uk to handle your scrap car collection, you help us channel money back into local service and community projects. We’re much more than a car scrapping service – we make the motor industry work for local communities; using our funding to ease the pressure on life-saving charitable community resources.

Title
I’ve added an expensive new stereo to my car – can I keep it?
Description
Yes, that’s fine. If you’ve added a new stereo head unit you’re welcome to remove it from the car before collection – although you’re likely to get a slightly better price for your vehicle if you can replace it with the original unit.
Title
What does the term ELV mean?
Description
An ELV is an ‘End of Life Vehicle’ – the official term used to describe a car that has come to the end of being useful; either through wear and tear or accident damage. All ELVs must be depolluted and dismantled at government approved Authorised Treatment Facilities.
Title
Can you pick my car up without me there?
Description
Yes, that’s fine. We will require someone to be with the car – but it doesn’t have to be the registered owner or keeper. If it’s not going to be you, our collection partner will need to see a form a photo ID from your nominated person (a passport or driving licence is ideal) and, if you don’t have the DVLA V5C document, proof of their address. These are needed to make sure our partners are abiding by the strict law surrounding scrap metal collections.
Title
Do your dismantlers offer scrap car removal in Blackburn if my car has flat tyres?
Description
Yes. The collection partners we work with have all the equipment needed to pick up a car that has flat tyres.
Title
Will I be paid before my car is taken away?
Description
Unfortunately not. The network of Blackburn car scrap yards we’re partnered with must inspect the car before payment, to ensure it was described accurately during the quote. However, payment will be made promptly after collection.
Title
Do you provide quotes for commercial vehicles?
Description
Yes, we do. All of our scrap car buyers in Blackburn are equipped to scrap, recycle and salvage an enormous range of commercial vehicles.
