Scrap car collection in Grafton Underwood, start to finish
Scrap car collection in Grafton Underwood is straightforward. You get your price online from the registration, we agree a collection time on the phone, and we turn up with a truck, check your ID, pay you by bank transfer and take the car away. You don't pay anything for the collection.
The village is a short drive from our Corby base, and we also cover Kettering, Geddington and Brigstock nearby, so it is part of our regular round rather than a special trip.
Who scraps a car in a village like this?
The reasons are usually personal rather than dramatic. In Grafton Underwood we tend to hear things like:
- "Mum stopped driving last year and her car is still in the garage."
- "We bought a new car and the old one has been on the drive since."
- "It's been on a SORN for ages and we keep saying we'll sort it."
- "The garage said it's not worth fixing."
- "We're moving house and the second car isn't coming."
Any of those is a good reason to get your instant price. If you are torn between repair and scrap, our scrap or repair guide sets out the options.
Booking a collection
- Visit get your instant price and enter the reg and your postcode.
- See the price on screen.
- Accept it, add your details, and we ring you to book the collection.
- We arrive, check photo ID and proof of address, and look over the car.
- We pay by bank transfer, then load the car.
- A licensed ATF scraps it and issues a Certificate of Destruction.
Same-day collection is often possible, though we always confirm timing on the phone rather than promise it.
What is my scrap car worth in Grafton Underwood?
Your price is calculated for your car. Weight comes first, because scrap is priced per tonne, along with the current scrap metal price. Then we take into account the make and model, whether the engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels are all there, whether you have the keys and the V5C, and where the car is. More detail is in the scrap car collection cost guide.
The price stands as long as the car is as you described it. If something is different when we arrive, we explain why before loading and you can turn the offer down.
Collecting from village drives and garages
Grafton Underwood's lanes are quiet and fairly narrow, and older properties often have tight entrances or single garages. Our collections are made with our own recovery trucks via our sister company, Rapid Recovery Corby. A van with dollies and skates can bring a car out of a low or narrow garage, and the beavertail trucks load gently. We take care around walls, gateposts and verges.

Scrapping a car for a family member
If you are clearing the car of a parent or relative who has stopped driving or passed away, we keep it simple and respectful. Call 07598 314366 first and tell us the situation. The seller needs photo ID and proof of address, and we will talk through whose name the payment should go to before the day.
Loose ends to tie up
- Clear the glovebox, door pockets, boot and the well under the spare wheel.
- Take out any dashcam, sat nav or parking permit.
- Transfer or retain a private plate with the DVLA before collection. Once scrapped, it is lost.
- Cancel the insurance after the car has gone.
- Any full months of tax are refunded automatically once the DVLA is told.
