How to scrap your car in Reigate

It's so easy to get your old scrap car towed away in Reigate.

  1. Contact us and let us know the details of your scrap car and arrange a time for us to tow it away.
  2. We pick up the car together with its logbook at the arranged time. Alternatively, you can send the logbook to us before hand. (Even if you don't have the logbook for the vehicle we will still be able to tow away the scrap car but you will need to let us know before we take the vehicle and you will need to write to the DVLA, informing them of your intention to scrap the car.)
  3. We give you back section 9 of the logbook along with an intent of destruction certificate.
  4. You send off section 9 to the DVLA.
  5. We make a SORN (inform the DVLA that the vehicle is now off the road) and send the DVLA the rest of the logbook so that the car can be de-registered.
  6. You should be notified by the DVLA within 4 to 6 weeks.

What happens after we've towed away your scrap car?

Once we've towed away your old car for scrap we will remove any parts that can be reused in some way (such as the tyres and the battery). Then we separate out all the parts that can be recycled (the catalytic converter for example). We remove any hazardous parts from your scrap car as well as any fuel left in the fuel tank. Finally, the vehicle is ready to be crushed.
