About Scrap My Car Services
Scrap My Car Services operates as a nationwide instant liquidation system for end of life vehicles not just another scrap yard. We connect UK drivers directly with authorised treatment facilities (ATFs), fully licensed under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Every old car, damaged car, or non runner gets a free valuation with zero obligation attached.
Selling an unwanted car the wrong way risks DVLA complications. Our process covers full deregistration, proper V5C transfer, and issues your certificate of destruction automatically. Vehicle recycling handled this way keeps you legally protected, no chasing scrap metal dealers, no paperwork stress.

Scrap Car FAQ
How long does it take to scrap a car in the UK?
The full scrapping process takes as little as 24 hours. We deliver your quote in 60 seconds online. The collection gets arranged the same day you book. Same day payment hits your bank once we collect.
Will scrapping my car affect my no claims bonus?
Scrapping a car does not affect your no claims discount. Cancel your insurance policy after we issue the certificate of destruction. Always notify your insurer and complete DVLA notification to avoid charges.
Can I scrap a car that is not in my name?
You need to be the registered keeper or show proof of ownership. We accept inherited vehicles and company cars with correct paperwork. Bring photo ID, address proof, and the V5C logbook on collection day.
Do I need to SORN the vehicle before scrapping?
You do not need to declare SORN before scrapping. We handle full DVLA notification and deregistration automatically. Any unused vehicle excise duty triggers a tax refund from DVLA after collection.
Is it legal to scrap a car for cash?
Cash payments for scrap cars are illegal under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. We pay by bank transfer only fully compliant and traceable. Every vehicle goes to a licensed ATF with a certificate of destruction issued to you.
