Our scrap car collection option is ideal if you don’t have the time to drop your car off, but it’s also the perfect option if your car isn’t working, or if you don’t have tax, insurance or a valid MOT.
With over 300 scrap car collectors across the UK ready to buy your car, we’re never far away and can collect your car from anywhere in the UK! Free scrap car collection can be arranged at a time to suit you. We’ll collect from any accessible location, whether it’s your home, work or a garage. Just let us know where you’d like your car to be collected from and we’ll get in touch to arrange the details with you.
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. But please let us know if you’re in a hurry, or you need us to collect your car earlier or later than this, or on a Sunday, and we’ll do our best to help.
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…
When we collect your car, we’ll help with the paperwork, and sort the payment.
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.

Absolutely excellent service from start to finish. Easy to book and driver kept me informed on the morning of collection. Money paid in promptly. Would highly recommend Car TakeBack
Pretty straight forward, but. . . for people who find themselves in this dire situation i.e. having their car scrapped, a bit more info and reassurance would be welcomed.
Simple straight forward service. Flexible on pick up day and cash in bank same day. Not rocket science - but this company does exactly what it says - and I am finding that rarer these days. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely great service, so quick and easy to arrange, really friendly and efficient man that collected the vehicle and well on time that was booked.
Applied the night before explained my circumstances and told them I needed to scrap both my cars asap to get my new car they were both then collected the following day with payment in my bank within 2 hours. Very friendly and just an all around great service.
So easy to do, put in reg and checked the details, was quoted a set price ,accepted the offer and they called the next day arranged a pick up. Turned up on time and paid what they quoted via cheque no problems
Brilliant, got exactly what they said I would. They won't confirm the amount you are getting until you have surrender the car and paperwork first so that is a bit unnerving. But it all worked out in the end.
Very fair with their offer and on time with their collection Offer was way higher than other other offers and payment was quickly transferred to my account.M Woods
Simple, quick and reliable service that lets you compare best rates for scrap. Booked, and sorted hassle free. No issues with payment. Will use again and recommend
All went really smoothly. I completed all details online then received a call within 10 minutes to confirm my answers and to confirm price etc. Car was collected within 2 days and I was paid about an hour after collection. Would recommend.
Easy process booking, but arranged pick up day missed, with no contact. Picked up next day. Few days delay in receiving payment, but eventually sorted.
Quick and easy. I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be paid or the car wouldn't be reported as scrapped to the DVLA, but I was paid within 24hrs and the vehicle has been scrapped. The guy who came for the car was friendly and helpful.
A nice easy service to use. Get your quote, they collect the car, you get paid. Nice! Driver doing the collecting needs to cheer up a bit, but we've all had those days.
