Number 1

Step 1: Get a scrap car price

To find out how much your scrap car is worth, simply enter your car registration and postcode to get an instant price for your car. We’ll use your car registration to find out the type of car you have, together with your postcode to find its location, so that we can offer you the best price for your scrap car.

We may also ask you a few questions about the condition of your car, so we can provide a price based on what you tell us. There’s no obligation and if you’re not quite ready, your quote will be valid for seven days, giving you time to think it over.

Step 2: Arrange scrap car collection

When you accept your quote, if you choose free scrap car collection, our local branch will get in touch to arrange to collect your car at a time that’s best for you. We collect scrap cars from anywhere in the UK, such as your home, work, a garage!

When we collect your scrap car, you’ll need to have any relevant paperwork, along with your keys and your ID.

Step 3: Get cash in your bank

All that’s left is to get paid for your car! You’ll usually be paid by electronic bank transfer.

Responsible scrap car recycling

If your car is ready to be recycled, it will be done so in line with the law at a licensed scrap car recycling centre. We’ll make sure you get a copy of the DVLA Certificate of Destruction as proof your car is no longer on the road. CarTakeBack will help you to correctly fill out your registration certificate (V5C – the log book) to notify DVLA that you’re no longer responsible for the car. It’s important to do the paperwork by the book when you sell your car, so that you avoid a DVLA fine.
