Collecting from a ridge-top village

Some homes in Wilbarston have sloping drives and some lanes are tight. We have tilt-and-slide transporters, spec lift tow trucks, and a van with dollies and skates for low garages and awkward spots. Our sister company, Rapid Recovery Corby, supplies the trucks, so loading a car that won't roll is routine. Tell us about the access and we will plan for it.

What happens when we arrive?

We check your photo ID and proof of address. The law requires us to.
We check the car against what you told us online.
If anything is different, such as a removed catalytic converter, we explain the change before loading. You can say no.
We load the car and pay you instantly by bank transfer.

We never pay cash. Paying cash for scrap cars has been illegal since the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

Where does my car go?

Straight to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility. Only an ATF can legally scrap a car. The ATF issues a Certificate of Destruction, normally within 7 days, and tells the DVLA. Our guide to how to scrap a car covers each step.

Once the DVLA has been told, full months of tax left are refunded automatically. You cancel the insurance yourself.

Things to sort before collection

Clear the glovebox, door pockets, boot and the space under the spare wheel.
Take any dashcam, sat nav or parking permit.
Cancel any toll or parking accounts linked to the registration.
Transfer or retain a private plate with the DVLA before the car goes.
Put your ID, proof of address, keys and V5C somewhere handy.

When the car belonged to someone else

We are often asked to scrap a car for a parent or relative who has stopped driving or passed away. Call us first and tell us what has happened. We will explain what ID and paperwork will help and agree whose bank account the payment goes to.
