Car Condition Questions
Do you buy cars with outstanding finance?

Unfortunately we cannot accept vehicles that have outstanding finance or are subject to a hire purchase or loan agreement. You will need to settle the outstanding finance before we can buy your car. If you are unsure whether your car has outstanding finance you can check using a HPI check service.

Yes we do, however missing major parts such as the engine, gearbox, catalytic converter or battery can affect the price we offer. Please declare any missing major parts when getting your quote so we can give you the most accurate price possible.

Yes absolutely. We buy non-runner vehicles and cars that will not start or drive. We have the specialist equipment needed to collect non-runners safely from driveways, garages and roadside locations across Manchester and Greater Manchester.

DVLA & Paperwork
DVLA & Paperwork Questions

Yes. Once you notify the DVLA that your car has been scrapped, they will automatically issue a refund for any complete months of road tax remaining on your vehicle. The refund is sent by cheque to the registered keeper's address within around 6 weeks.

Yes, we handle all DVLA paperwork on your behalf when we collect your vehicle. We will issue you with a Certificate of Destruction which is an official DVLA document confirming your car has been legally scrapped. You should also notify the DVLA yourself using the yellow section of your V5C or online at gov.uk.

You do not need your V5C to scrap your car with us, however it does make the process easier. If you do not have your logbook we may ask for additional ID. Not having a V5C will not affect your quote or the price you receive for your car.

Payment
Payment Questions

Absolutely not. The price we quote you is the price you receive. Collection is free, there are no administration fees, no paperwork fees and no deductions from your payment. What we quote is exactly what goes into your bank account.

We pay by secure electronic bank transfer directly to your bank account. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 we are unable to pay cash for scrap vehicles in England and Wales. You will need to provide your bank details when accepting your quote so payment can be arranged for collection day.

You will receive payment on the same day your car is collected. We make a fast, secure bank transfer directly to your account as soon as the collection is completed. In most cases the money will be in your account within a few hours.

Collection

On collection day please have your photo ID ready (driving licence or passport), your car keys, your V5C logbook if you have it, any service history and your reference number from your quote. Please remove all personal belongings from the vehicle before our team arrives.

We will do our very best to collect your car from wherever it is. If your car is in a difficult location such as blocked in, on a soft surface or in a tight space please let us know in advance. We have specialist equipment to handle most situations including flat tyres and non-runners.

In most cases across Manchester and Greater Manchester we can collect your car within 24 hours of you accepting your quote. Same day collection is available in many areas depending on our schedule. Contact us for the most accurate collection timeframe for your specific location.

Yes, collection is completely free. We collect your car from anywhere across Manchester and Greater Manchester at absolutely no charge to you. There are no hidden fees, no collection charges and no nasty surprises.
