At Take My Scrap Car, we are always happy to address all the questions and concerns our customers have on the car scrapping and recycling process.
Detailed below, you will find several examples of some of the more common questions we encounter, with clear and concise answers for each:
Does My Car Have to Be Running to Qualify?
First up, under no circumstances does your car have to be in working order to qualify for collection. We specialise exclusively in car scrapping and recycling – not salvaging or repairing vehicles for future use. Hence, it doesn’t matter if your car has been out of action for years – we’ll still happily take it!
Can I Legally Drive My SORN Car to the Scrapyard?
No – don’t make the mistake of thinking you’re permitted to drive your end-of-life vehicle to a scrapyard. Unless your vehicle is taxed, insured, in a good state of repair and has a valid MOT, it’s 100% illegal to drive it to the scrapyard, 100% of the time and with no exceptions. Call Take My Scrap Car and we’ll collect your SORN vehicle from your address.
Will I Get an Insurance Refund?
It depends entirely on your insurance provider, but the short answer is yes – you should be offered a partial refund. Some unscrupulous insurers refuse to offer refunds of any kind when a policy is terminated early, but frankly these are insurers to avoid where possible!
How Much is My Car Worth?
We calculate scrap car prices in accordance with scrap values on the day, in order to ensure unbeatable quotation for every customer. However, the price quoted for your vehicle may be affected by the distance we need to travel to collect it and any other potential complications anticipated in the process. Call or e-mail anytime for a quotation.
How Quick Can I Organise Collection?
If we’re operating in your area at the time, we’re often able to provide same-day collections. If not, we’ll do everything we can to pay you a visit at a convenient time and date. We’re out and about day and night, so we’re always happy to work in accordance with our customers’ schedules and priorities.
What Kinds of Costs Are Incurred?
Absolutely none – under no circumstances will you be charged a penny for any of the services we provide. It’s all 100% free of charge from start to finish, without exception. As a result, the price we quote for your scrap vehicle is the price we pay.
What Kinds of Vehicles Can I Scrap?
We work hard to be as flexible as possible for the customers we serve. That’s why we’re happy to organise collection of just about any type of vehicle of any age and in any condition. If looking to recycle a non-standard vehicle of any kind, simply contact our customer support team to make the necessary arrangements.
