If you're looking to arrange scrap car disposal then it's essential you're able to go about it legally and safely. You need to follow all necessary government legislation if you don't want to suffer the consequences later down the line, and so finding a reliable company should be at the top of the agenda. However, there are some unscrupulous car scrappage companies out there that will take your car off your hands without following regulations, so make sure you’re not caught out by choosing reputable companies instead.
These illegal scrappage teams will often be difficult to locate, but if they try to give you money for your vehicle (or, conversely, if they ask for money as part of the service) then alarm bells should start ringing. All reputable companies will operate completely free of charge and won’t pay you for your vehicle either, and those that do will often try to sell on your car for profit. This will not only endanger other people’s lives but without being given the official certificate of destruction you’ll also be at risk of liability, so never accept payment for scrap cars if you want to be confident in the legality of the process.
It’s also essential to check that the company will be using an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) and that they’ll be able to provide all necessary paperwork, and if you want to be certain you’re making the right decision then make sure to get in touch. We’re a registered and approved scrappage company and always operate according to strict government guidelines, so don’t get caught out and come to us instead for total peace of mind.
