Dead car removal in Priors Hall Park
Non-runner collection in Priors Hall Park often starts with a parking problem. On new-build streets, every space counts, and a car that hasn't moved in months is a nuisance for you, your neighbours and sometimes the management company. We buy non-runners as they are and collect them free. Put the reg and postcode into our instant price form to see what yours is worth.
How a car ends up as a non-runner
It rarely happens overnight. A car gets used less after a move, or once a household is working from home more. The battery goes flat. Then the tyres lose pressure, the brakes stick, and before long the car won't move at all. Other times it's a sudden failure: a cambelt snaps, a gearbox gives up, or the engine seizes.
We collect cars that:
- Won't start, whatever the reason.
- Have flat tyres or are sat on a space saver.
- Have brakes or a handbrake seized on after standing.
- Have a seized engine or a broken gearbox.
- Are partly stripped after a repair that stalled.
Getting a non-runner out of a parking court
Parking courts and shared drives can be tight, and a car that won't roll can't just be pushed out. Our collections use recovery trucks from our sister company, Rapid Recovery Corby. The beavertail transporters have winches to pull a car up onto the bed. If the wheels are locked or a tyre is flat, we use dollies and skates to move the car to where we can load it. The same van and kit get cars out of low garages.
Give us a quick picture when we call:
| Tell us | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Will it roll in neutral? | Tells us if we need skates |
| Any flat tyres or missing wheels? | Means bringing dollies |
| Is it boxed in? | Lets us plan the approach |
| Is it in a garage? | So we bring the right van |
What is a non-runner worth?
Because scrap value comes mainly from weight and the current scrap metal price, a car that doesn't run is still worth something. Make and model matter too, and so does completeness: the engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels should all be there. Keys and the V5C help. Our non-runner cost guide and our guide to how scrap car prices work explain more.
The online price holds as long as the car is complete and as described. If we find something different on the day, we explain before we load and you can choose not to go ahead.
A car that isn't really yours to drive
Sometimes the non-runner on your drive belongs to a parent or grandparent who moved in with you, or who has passed away. That is a hard thing to deal with alongside everything else. Call us first and tell us what paperwork you have. You can still scrap a car without the V5C with proof of ID and proof of ownership or address. Decide within the family whose account the bank transfer should go to.
Payment and ID
We are required by law to check the seller's name and address, so please have photo ID and proof of address ready. We pay instantly by bank transfer when we collect. Paying cash for scrap cars is illegal under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.
After collection
Every non-runner goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility. They issue a Certificate of Destruction and tell the DVLA, and any full months of tax come back to you automatically. Remember to cancel the insurance. For the full process, see our how to scrap a car guide.
Checklist
- Remove belongings from the cabin, boot and spare wheel well.
- Take off any parking permit.
- Move other cars out of the way if you can.
- Retain any private plate with the DVLA first.
- Find the keys, even if the car won't start.
