// What we actually do

Four jobs.
Done properly. Done locally.

We're a working scrap and salvage yard, not a price-comparison middleman: we quote, collect and route the car properly.

// How it works

Three steps. Same day.

01

Quote

Send the reg plate, postcode and a couple of photos on WhatsApp. We usually reply within an hour during yard hours, often faster.

02

Collect

Pick a slot. Our recovery truck comes to the driveway, kerbside, work car park or tenement back-court. Free across Glasgow and the Central Belt; honest fuel quote if you're further out.

03

Get paid

Same-day bank transfer is the normal route, usually in your account before the truck pulls away. Payment terms are clear before pickup, and we talk you through the DVLA paperwork.

Why a local yard, not a comparison site?

Comparison sites sell your details to yards like ours, then the quote has to cover their cut. We quote direct, send the truck, and pay you. Most work comes from G1 to G77, EH1 to EH17, the M9 corridor and the Lanarkshire MLs.

A note from the yard

"We don't take a car unless we plan to recycle it properly."

Most calls start with a dropped collection-day quote. We keep it simple: agree the price, collect the car, pay by bank transfer, and follow a documented disposal route.

Frequently asked questions

How much will I get for my scrap car in Scotland?

Typical 2026 ranges: small hatchback £150–£300, mid saloon £200–£400, 4×4 or estate £300–£600. EVs are valued separately. Send the reg or photos and we'll quote back the same day.

Do I need a V5C (logbook) to scrap my car?

Preferred, but not always required. With a V5C we talk you through the DVLA notification. Without one, photo ID and proof you are the keeper usually helps.

Bank transfer on the day?

Most customers choose same-day BACS because it leaves a clear payment record. Any cash option must be legally allowed and agreed before pickup. We never pay by cheque.

Is collection really free?

Free across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire, Falkirk, Stirling and most of the Central Belt. Further out, we quote any fuel contribution before setting off.

What happens to my car after you take it?

It goes through the legal end-of-life vehicle route. Hazardous parts are dealt with properly, reusable parts are pulled where possible, and DVLA paperwork is explained before collection.
