Arranging scrap car collection

Arranging the collection of your car is quick and easy. After you’ve accepted a quote for your scrap car, your local CarTakeBack branch will contact you to arrange a convenient time and date to collect your car, and answer any questions you might have.

We’ll do our best to fit in with you and most scrap car collections are arranged within a day or two of you accepting a quote. Collections usually take place from Monday to Saturday between 7am and 7pm.

What happens when you have your car collected

We’ll send you a reminder, either a text or email, to confirm the collection date and time that we agreed with you.

On the collection day you’ll need to have a few things ready…

  • your ID
  • car keys
  • documents (such as the registration certificate) if you have them
  • and don’t forget to remove any personal belongings and rubbish from your car

When we collect your car, we’ll help with the paperwork, and sort the payment.

Scrap car collection – Our history

CarTakeBack launched in 2005, and in 2007 began collecting cars in certain areas of the country. The first car collected was a 1987 Peugeot 205! Shortly after, in 2008, CarTakeBack introduced fully nationwide scrap car collection. Collecting cars across the UK, we’ve even collected vehicles in the remotest of locations like Shetland, the Outer Hebrides and the Isles of Scilly!

Scrap car collection has become so popular with our customers, that over 95% of vehicles sold with CarTakeBack are collected, rather than delivered to our branches.

It was made as easy as possible and plus they are very quick at sorting everything out and coming to collect the car. All staff are very friendly and they keep you informed every step of the way. If needed would definitely use them again.

Clear, transparent info online and excellent customer service on the phone when I needed reassurance. The car collection itself was on time, professional and respectful to neighbours. An email help with paperwork completed this first class service, thank you.

Easy

It made moving on an old car easy. They paid the offered price quickly into a bank account and we received a scrapping notice all we had to do was notifying the dvla the vehicle was officially scrapped and no longer on the road.
