Scrap Car Removal Coventry
Free collection across Coventry and the West Midlands. Instant quotes, DVLA notification handled, Certificate of Destruction issued on every vehicle.
Coventry has a long relationship with the car industry — from the factories that once built them to the thousands of vehicles now reaching the end of their useful lives across the city every year. If you've got a car that's done its time — sat on the drive, failed its MOT, been in an accident, or simply not worth what a repair would cost — we can collect it quickly and handle everything that follows. We're a licensed, local scrap car service covering the whole of Coventry and the surrounding area, from Foleshill and Longford to Tile Hill, Earlsdon and everywhere in between.
Scrap My Car Coventry
We're a Coventry-based scrap car collection service, not a call centre somewhere outside the city routing you to whoever happens to be available. When you contact us, you're speaking directly to the people who will collect your vehicle. That means realistic quotes, honest information, and collection slots that actually work around you.
Every vehicle we collect goes to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) licensed by the Environment Agency. The ATF carries out full depollution — removing oil, coolant, brake fluid, refrigerant and other hazardous materials — before the remaining steel, aluminium and other materials are recycled. This isn't just good practice; it's a legal requirement under the End of Life Vehicle (ELV) Regulations, and it's what separates a licensed service from an unlicensed one.
We accept all makes and models in any condition. We give a firm quote before we arrive and stick to it. We handle the DVLA notification and issue a Certificate of Destruction on every vehicle we process.

Free Scrap Car Collection Coventry
Collection is completely free, anywhere in Coventry and the surrounding areas. There are no hidden charges and no deductions from your quote when we arrive. Here's exactly what happens from your first contact to the vehicle leaving your property.
Give Us Your Reg and Postcode
Call 07593 103323 or use the online form. Your registration number tells us the make, model, engine size and approximate weight of the vehicle — all the key details we need to calculate its scrap value. Your postcode confirms you're in our collection area.
Receive Your Quote
We'll give you a firm quote over the phone or call you back within the hour if you used the online form. The price is fixed — we don't inflate it to win your business and then reduce it when we arrive. If the vehicle is as described, you'll receive the amount we quoted.
Book Your Collection
Once you're happy with the price, we agree a slot that suits you. Same-day collection is often available across Coventry. Next-day bookings run Monday to Saturday. We collect from driveways, garages, roadsides and most other locations — no need to deliver the vehicle to us.
Payment, DVLA Notification and Certificate of Destruction
On collection day, we check your ID and confirm the vehicle. Payment is sent by bank transfer — this is a legal requirement under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013; any dealer offering cash is operating outside the law. We then notify the DVLA that the vehicle has been scrapped and issue your Certificate of Destruction. Most handovers take under 30 minutes.
Same-day slots are available across Coventry — call or WhatsApp now.
Scrap Car Prices Coventry
Scrap car prices are not fixed. They move with scrap metal markets — typically quoted in pounds per tonne — and vary depending on the specifics of your vehicle. We track current prices and adjust quotes accordingly, so you always get a fair offer based on what metal is actually worth on the day you call.
The following factors influence what your car is worth as scrap:
- Scrap metal price — steel and aluminium markets fluctuate. Higher metal prices mean higher scrap car values.
- Vehicle weight — heavier cars contain more recyclable material and are worth more by weight.
- Make and model — some vehicles have parts with higher salvage value, which can lift the overall offer.
- Completeness — a car missing its catalytic converter, engine, gearbox or wheels is worth less than a complete vehicle. Be upfront about this when you call.
- Running condition — a car that starts and drives may be worth marginally more than an identical non-runner with viable parts still present.
- Age — newer vehicles may have more usable components, though this isn't always the case.
- Location — collection within our standard Coventry coverage zone is free. Further afield may affect the net price.
The only way to get an accurate figure is to call us with your reg. It takes a couple of minutes and there's no obligation to accept.
Vehicles We Accept
We don't have a long list of conditions. If it's a road vehicle and it's reached the end of its useful life, we'll almost certainly take it. Here's a straightforward rundown of what we collect:
If your vehicle has no wheels, no engine, or has been partially dismantled, we can still collect it — the price will reflect its condition. Give us an honest description when you call and we'll give you an honest quote.
Non-runner, damaged, missing parts — we collect it all across Coventry.
What Paperwork Do I Need?
Scrapping a car doesn't involve much paperwork, but there are a few things to have ready. None of it should cause any problems — and if something is missing, call us before the collection day and we'll walk you through it.
V5C (the vehicle logbook): If you have it, bring it on the day. You'll sign Section 9 (notifying the DVLA of the sale to a licensed dealer), and we'll handle the rest. If your V5C has been lost, stolen, or never arrived, that's not a barrier to collection — contact us in advance and we'll advise on the correct approach.
Photo ID: The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 requires us to verify your identity before accepting any vehicle. A current UK driving licence or passport is accepted. This is a legal requirement, not a preference.
Bank details: Payment is made by bank transfer on collection day. Have your sort code and account number ready. Payment is usually received within a few hours of the vehicle being collected.
If the vehicle is not registered in your name — for example, it belonged to a family member — there are additional steps involved. Ring us before booking and we'll clarify what's needed so there are no surprises on the day.

Same-day collection is available across most of Coventry subject to availability. Next-day slots run Monday to Saturday. When you call, we'll tell you the earliest we can get to you.
Yes — free collection is included for all vehicles within our Coventry and West Midlands coverage area. There are no hidden charges and nothing is deducted from your quoted price on arrival.
It depends on the current scrap metal price, your vehicle's weight, make, model and condition. The quickest way to find out is to call us with your reg and postcode — we'll give you a firm figure in a few minutes.
By bank transfer on the day of collection. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 makes it illegal to pay cash for scrap vehicles. Any dealer offering cash should raise a red flag — they may not be operating legally.
No. We give a firm price and honour it, provided the vehicle matches the description you gave us. We don't use bait-and-switch pricing.
It helps but is not essential. If you don't have it, call us before the collection day and we'll explain what alternative steps are needed. Missing a V5C won't stop the collection going ahead.
Yes, always. We submit the DVLA notification as part of every collection. This removes the vehicle from your records so you are no longer liable for it — no more road tax reminders, no liability for future fines on that registration.
A Certificate of Destruction (CoD) is an official document confirming your vehicle was scrapped at a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility. We issue one on every vehicle we collect. Keep it — it's your legal proof the car was properly disposed of, and it protects you if any queries arise in future linked to that registration.
Yes. We collect non-runners regularly. Just mention it when you book so we can bring the appropriate recovery equipment. There's no extra charge for this within our standard coverage area.
Yes — accident damage, Cat N and Cat S write-offs, fire damage, flood damage. All accepted. Describe the condition when you call so we can give you an accurate quote.
Yes. The registered keeper or an authorised representative must be there with valid photo ID. This is a legal requirement under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, not a preference. If you can't be present, contact us in advance to discuss options.
There are rules around this — for example, if the registered keeper is deceased or has transferred ownership informally. Call us before booking and we'll advise on the correct process for your situation.
