How to scrap your car in Birmingham

If you've got a scrap car in or near Birmingham it's easy to have it scrapped for free.

  1. Get in touch and tell us the details of your scrap car as well as arrange a time for collection.
  2. We pick up the car together with its logbook at the arranged time. If you prefer you can mail the logbook to us before we come to collect your car. (If you are not in possession on the logbook for the scrap car, we are still able to tow it away, but you will need to tell us beforehand and you will need to contact the DVLA in writing to let them know you are having the car scrapped.)
  3. We provide you with an intent of destruction certificate and give you back section 9 of the logbook.
  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. The DVLA should notify you within 4 to 6 weeks.

What happens to your scrap car?

After we have towed away your scrap car we first remove any parts that may be reused in some way, this commonly includes things such as the tyres and the battery. Then we remove the catalytic converter and other parts which can be recycled. We remove an fuel remaining in your scrap car as well as any hazardous parts. It is only then that the vehicle can be crushed.
