Scrap car collection in Geddington, explained
Scrap car collection in Geddington is quick to arrange. You put your registration and postcode into our price tool, see what we will pay and accept if you are happy. We then call to agree a collection time, come to you and pay by bank transfer before we drive away.
Because Geddington sits between Corby and Kettering just off the A43, it is right in the middle of the area we cover every week. Whether your car is parked by a cottage near the Eleanor Cross or on a newer drive on the edge of the village, the process is the same.
Step by step
- Visit get your instant price and enter the reg and postcode.
- The price appears on screen.
- Accept it, fill in your contact details, and we ring you to book a collection time.
- On the day, we check your photo ID and proof of address and look over the car.
- We load the car and pay you instantly by bank transfer.
Same-day collection is often possible, though we never promise it. You can also ring or WhatsApp 07598 314366 if you would rather speak to us.
If you are selling on behalf of someone else, such as a parent who has moved into care, let us know when we call. We will explain what ID and proof of ownership we need so the day runs smoothly and nobody is caught out at the door.
Car scrappers who come to you
There is no need to search for a scrap yard near Geddington and find a way to get a dead car there. We collect from driveways, roadsides, car parks, garages and farm yards. Every car goes on to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, the only place that can legally scrap a vehicle. The ATF sends you a Certificate of Destruction, normally within 7 days, and updates the DVLA. Our certificate of destruction guide explains what it covers.
What sets the scrap car price?
| What we look at | How it affects the price |
|---|---|
| Vehicle weight | The main driver, as scrap is valued per tonne |
| Scrap metal market | The rate changes over time |
| Make and model | Some cars are worth more than their weight |
| Main parts present | Engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels |
| Keys and V5C | Make the car simpler to process |
| Where the car is | Affects what it takes to collect |
Our scrap car collection cost guide goes into this further. The price you see online stands as long as the car is complete and as described. If anything is different on the day, say the catalytic converter has gone, we explain why the price changes before we load, and you can say no.
Getting through the village
Geddington's centre has older streets and tight corners, and the ford over the River Ise is not somewhere we take a loaded truck. We pick our route before setting off. Our collections are done with trucks from Rapid Recovery Corby, George's recovery company, including beavertail tilt-and-slide transporters and spec lift tow trucks. Some trucks carry one car and tow another, so clearing two cars from one address is often a single visit.
Cash for cars? Not legally
You will still see people asking for cash for cars. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 made cash payments for scrap metal illegal, and that includes scrap cars. We pay instantly by bank transfer at the point of collection, which leaves both of us with a proper record.
Your checklist
- Remove personal items from the glovebox, door pockets, boot and spare wheel well.
- Take out dashcams, sat navs and parking permits.
- Cancel toll or parking accounts linked to the reg.
- Have photo ID, proof of address and the V5C ready.
- Transfer or retain any private plate with the DVLA beforehand.
Once the car has gone, cancel the insurance. Any full months of road tax will be refunded automatically.
