At Take My Scrap Car, we work hard to be as flexible as possible for the benefit of our customers. This extends to both the types of vehicles we are willing to accept and where we can collect them from.
But when we say we’ll take your scrap car from any location, what does this mean? […]
Understandably, motorists planning on scrapping their cars don’t typically prioritise cleanliness. If your end-of-life vehicle is destined for destruction, what does it matter if it’s a complete mess?
For the most part, it doesn’t really matter at all. At least, as far as the exterior of the car is concerned and its general upkeep. But when […]
We recently published a post outlining the primary factors that affect depreciation. As a follow-up, we’ll now be taking a look at several frequently asked questions on the same topic:
By How Much Does a Car Depreciate Per Year?
Depreciation per year varies massively from one vehicle make, model and year to the next. However, estimates suggest […]
By nature, the average end-of-life vehicle isn’t usually in fantastic condition. Most motorists don’t make the decision to scrap a car until it is literally falling to pieces.
At which point, it’s no longer safe to drive on public roads. In fact, it’s a miracle if it even starts up in the first place.

If you consider yourself the quintessential petrol-head with a passion for pretty rides, there’s a YouTube video doing the rounds we guarantee will bring a tear to your eye.
Famed publisher “Supercar Blondie” recentlyshared a clip shot in Central Dubai, where one of the world’s most unique scrapyards can be found. No rusted and crash-damaged Ford Fiestas […]
All motorists will eventually find themselves in a position where they need to organise car repairs. At which point, it becomes painfully apparent just how expensive it can be to keep a car up and running.
Depending on the age and condition of the car, this may also be the point at which you begin to […]
It really is anything but surprising that second-hand tyres are so popular in the UK. If you’ve ever experienced the displeasure of shopping for new tyres, you’ll know exactly how expensive they can be.
The larger and more prestigious the vehicle, the more expensive it is to replace worn or damaged tyres.
Handing over hundreds of pounds […]
One of the most common questions asked by end-of-life vehicle owners is also one of the most logical and important:
If your vehicle isn’t in great shape and you’ve declared it off-road, can you legally drive it to a scrapyard?
