How our scrap car 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 a few seconds.

  • Registration: 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, let us know and we’ll do our best to make the timing work.

I was expecting lots of faff a messing but I couldn’t have been more wrong. They booked to arrange collection. Turned up when they said. Took the car. Paid the money shortly afterwards. Sent certificate of destruction later on.

AMAZING!

Very kind and polite. Helped so much and made it very easy with a contactless pickup which worked around my job. Recommended to my sister who will also use this service soon.

Great service. They did what they said they would do.

They did everything they said they would do. No messing with the price. The driver even collected the car from a busy dual-carriageway and handled the situation safely and professionally. Would recommend!

Expectations fully met.

Excellent service with not one complication. Ross came to pick up car at the exact time and was so informative. The next day my payment was in my account and a week later I received a cheque from DVLA refunding my road tax. Well impressed and grateful.

Does What it Says on the Tin

CarTakeBack does what it says on the tin. I needed my car gone, contacted CarTakeBack and the operation was swift and hassle free. My car was collected and the money was in the bank that very morning. Lovely staff too.

Easy arrangement

Straight forward, didn’t need to view the vehicle and organised a local recycler to collect it. Payment was in my bank from the local recycler same day as collection.

Perfect solution

I sold my car to car take back. I rang in the afternoon and they come on the same day which was really good. The man that came to my house was so nice, he explained everything that I needed to do with D. V. A. I was paid the same day to. Bolton

Excellent Service

The process was very smooth and quickly organised. The vehicle was picked up at the time arranged and the driver could not have been more helpful. We were kept up to date each step of the way. The certificate arrived quickly afterwards. Would recommend and use again.

Excellent service. Don't hesitate to use.

Everything was straight forward the staff are very helpful and answered all my questions. I normally just trade my car in so have never had to deal with DVLA. Their guide to completing the online form was excellent.
