Each year when the winter weather rolls around, it serves up a pretty clear message to a big chunk of the UK population – your car has no place out on the icy roads! It’s one thing to have a car that’s cold, tricky to start on icy mornings or generally no fun to drive […]
Normally, when a car gets written off after an accident, it is left without about as much resale value and overall appeal as a used tissue. That is to say, not very much at all. After all, who wants a car that’s been smashed to bits to such an extent it’s not really worth fixing?

We like to think that our take on car scrapping is quite unique – the service package we offer customers across Norfolk certainly is anyway.

From what we’ve heard to date, 2015 is going to be an interesting year for the UK’s car industry and for its millions of everyday road users alike. We’ve already seen the end of physical paper […]
So another year’s been and gone, which makes it the perfect time for the whole team at Take My Scrap Car to wish everyone out there a cracking 2015 filled with so much more than clapped-out old rust-buckets!
