What happens next

From your reg to your Certificate of Destruction – here’s Rick’s day out with your car.

  1. Give us the reg

    Online or on the phone. You get a straight price before anyone sets off.

  2. Rick turns up

    At the time you agreed – driveway, kerbside or an awkward spot. Non-runners are fine.

  3. Up on the truck

    Winched onto the flatbed, usually in about five minutes. You’re paid on collection.

  4. Paperwork sorted

    We go through the V5C logbook with you so DVLA knows the car is off your hands.

  5. Certificate of Destruction

    Issued by the Authorised Treatment Facility. DVLA refunds any full months of car tax left.

What’s my scrap car worth?

Most of a scrap car’s value is in its weight in metal, so prices go up and down with the scrap market. We look at:

  • the make, model and weight of the car
  • whether parts or the catalytic converter can be reused
  • where it is and how easy it is to collect

Give us your reg and we’ll tell you a straight price before we come out. The price we quote is the price we pay.

What people say about Rick

4.6 from 19 reviews on Google

“Great service, easy, friendly and efficient. I helped an elderly friend to scrap her old car from an awkward location with limited access. The car had a seized clutch so couldn't move under it's own power, or so I thought, but Rick had an impressive trick to get it moving, and it took barely 5 seconds to get it down the drive and straight up onto his flat-bed truck. A sight to behold!!”
Stephen D., Google review
“Professional, Courteous and Quick. Rang on a Monday for a Weds pickup (which suited me), I'm sure pick up could have been same day if I had wanted it. Rick arrived exactly when he said. Good price received and car put onto pick up, V5 all completed and car gone within 5 mins. Rick we a joy to deal with. I would thoroughly recommend Rick and SSC...”
Michael K., Google review
“So impressed with how quickly everything was sorted! We had a lot of scrap metal left over from building work and Ricky was here in a flash. No problem with anything at all, he just took everything. Saved us so much effort than having to go to the dump, and we got some money too!”
Karen M., Google review
