Scrap Car Collection, Fast & Free Collection, Top Price Paid

We confirm your details by phone, WhatsApp or form, check the photos you send, and agree a fair valuation before we travel. Collection is free, and we handle non-runners, damaged cars and vehicles without MOT. On arrival we confirm the final value, complete the paperwork, pay you by bank transfer and load the vehicle safely on our flatbed tow truck. Every car is delivered to a licensed ATF, where a legal Certificate of Destruction is issued.

Yes. We buy any cars and vans in almost any condition, including non-runners, failed MOT vehicles, accident-damaged cars and end-of-life vehicles. As long as the vehicle is legally yours and accessible for a flatbed tow truck, we can collect it. We simply ask for clear photos and accurate details so we can give a fair valuation before we arrive.

If you’re in London or Surrey, London Auto Towing can usually collect your scrap car the same day or next day, depending on location and access. As a local scrap car buyer with 24/7 recovery trucks on the road, we respond fast, agree a valuation in advance, arrive with a flatbed tow truck, complete the paperwork and pay you by bank transfer on collection. We handle non-runners, no-MOT vehicles and end-of-life cars, and deliver every vehicle to a licensed ATF for legal disposal and COD.

To scrap your car, you ideally need the V5C logbook, but we can still collect the vehicle if it’s missing as long as you can provide valid ID and proof of ownership. London Auto Towing completes the relevant section of the V5 during collection and guides you on notifying DVLA. After the vehicle is delivered to a licensed ATF, a Certificate of Destruction (COD) is issued, confirming the vehicle has been scrapped legally.

The price depends on the vehicle’s weight, condition, make and current scrap metal values. London Auto Towing provides a fair valuation in advance as part of our scrap car collection service, using the details and photos you send us. If you’re contacting us to sell my scrap car, we confirm the final figure on arrival before loading the vehicle. Payment is made by bank transfer on collection, with no call-out fees for genuine scrap jobs. You always receive the agreed amount once the paperwork is completed and the handover is done properly.

Yes. London Auto Towing can collect most scrap cars and vans even if they have no MOT, no tax, no keys, flat tyres or are complete non-runners. We just need clear photos and accurate details before booking so we can plan the right loading method for our flatbed tow truck.

Yes. London Auto Towing can collect scrap cars from most locations, including driveways, residential roads, workplaces and open car parks. We simply need to know about any height limits, tight turns, low ceilings or restricted access so we can plan the right approach with our flatbed tow truck. As long as there is safe space to load, we can complete the scrap car collection, handle the paperwork and transport the vehicle to a licensed ATF for legal disposal.

Yes. Every scrap vehicle collected by London Auto Towing is taken only to a licensed ATF (Authorised Treatment Facility) for legal disposal. Once the vehicle is processed, a COD is issued by the ATF as official proof that the car has been scrapped correctly. We guide you through completing the V5C, explain what DVLA needs, and make sure you receive the correct paperwork so the vehicle is fully removed from your name with no future liability.

A Certificate of Destruction, known as a COD, is an official document issued by a licensed ATF after your scrap car has been processed. It confirms the vehicle has been permanently scrapped and removed from the road. London Auto Towing delivers every scrap vehicle to an approved ATF, and once the COD is generated, it serves as legal proof for DVLA that you no longer own the car. This protects you from future tax, fines or liability linked to the vehicle.

Yes. When you scrap a car, DVLA must be notified so the vehicle is removed from your name. London Auto Towing helps you complete the V5C section correctly at collection, and the licensed ATF also updates DVLA when the vehicle is processed. Once both steps are done, you’ll receive confirmation and, where applicable, a Certificate of Destruction (COD), ensuring the vehicle is officially recorded as scrapped
