Frequently asked questions
Can I scrap my car in Dorset?
Absolutely — our free collection service extends across the whole of Dorset and surrounding areas. We have a number of registered ELV and ATF-licensed scrap yards covering your area that offer the most competitive prices, free collection and trustworthy service.
What are the scrap car prices in Dorset?
Our scrap car prices are not directly linked to the weight of your car but in fact what the car is worth. We compare prices across our trusted network of ELV and ATF-registered scrap yards in Dorset and show your best available offer — including salvage if your vehicle still has value above the standard scrap price.
Can you scrap a specific year, make and model?
Yes — we scrap every known car, van and motorcycle make and model in Dorset, from the latest EVs to older classics. We identify your exact vehicle from your registration plate using the DVLA online vehicle check service to find the best available price.
Can my unroadworthy or no-MOT car be scrapped?
Yes — we accept non-runners, MOT failures and insurance write-offs. Prices assume no major parts are missing. Call us free on 0333 772 1191 seven days a week if you're unsure about your vehicle.
Can I scrap a car without a V5?
Yes — you must update DVLA records yourself, which you can do online at the DVLA website. We guide you through the process and you'll receive a DVLA Certificate of Destruction from the ATF on the day of collection.
What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging a car?
Car salvaging involves recovering a vehicle to repair it or strip it for parts rather than recycling it. Salvaging typically returns a higher price for your car or van. We check both options and show you the best available offer.
What happens to my scrap car?
Your vehicle will be fully recycled by a licensed ATF following ELV environmental protocols. Most materials used to manufacture cars can now be fully recycled, and you receive a DVLA Certificate of Destruction confirming your car has been legally disposed of.
