CarTakeBack makes it easy, convenient and rewarding to scrap your car, whatever its condition. We will calculate an instant, great value quote for your vehicle; all we need is your reg number and postcode. If you are happy with your quote, you can choose between dropping your car off at one of over 300 UK branches, or having it collected by us.

How Our Scrap Value Calculator Works

Our calculator couldn't be simpler to use. All we need is your car's registration number and your postcode. We'll do the rest in the blink of an eye.

Registration number: This helps us identify the exact make, model and age of your car, and ensures we calculate the best, most accurate quote possible.
Postcode: This helps us understand where you are in the UK, which means we can calculate the best scrap prices for your local area.

How to Have Your Scrap Car Collected

Once you have accepted the quote for your car, we can collect it from you - scrap car collection is free! One of our team will contact you by email or phone to arrange an ideal collection time. We'll do our best to collect at your chosen time, and we collect most cars within just two working days.

Our collection times are usually Monday to Saturday between 7am and 7pm. If this doesn't work for you, do let us know and we'll do our best to make the timing work.

Dropping Your Car Off with Us

You can drop your car off at one of our UK branches. You don't need to make an appointment – you'll just need your reference number to confirm the details of your quote. Our branches are usually open between 9am and 5pm on weekdays, and many are open on weekends. Find your local branch.
