  1. Your Guide to Scrap Car Collection: Getting the Best Price for Your Vehicle

  2. When it’s time to say goodbye to your old car, whether it’s reached the end of its life or you’re looking to upgrade, scrapping it can be a practical solution. Not only does it free up space and rid you of an unwanted vehicle, but it can also put some cash back in your pocket. In the UK, scrapping a car involves several steps to ensure you get the best price and handle the process legally and responsibly.

  3. Assessing Your Vehicle’s Value The first step in the process of scrapping your car is to assess its value. Factors such as the car’s make, model, age, condition, and current scrap metal prices will all influence how much you can expect to receive. Typically, newer cars or those in better condition will fetch higher prices due to salvageable parts and materials.

  4. Finding a Licensed ATF In the UK, the process of scrapping a car must be handled by a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). These facilities are registered with the Environment Agency and adhere to strict environmental and safety standards. Using an ATF ensures that your car is disposed of legally and responsibly.

  5. Getting Quotes Once you’ve found a licensed ATF, the next step is to get quotes for your scrap car. Many ATFs offer online quote services where you can enter your car’s details and receive an estimate. It’s a good idea to get quotes from multiple ATFs to ensure you’re getting the best price for your vehicle.

  6. Prepare Your Car for Collection Before your car is collected, you’ll need to prepare it. This includes removing any personal belongings and ensuring that you have all the necessary paperwork ready. You’ll typically need your V5C registration document (logbook) and a valid form of ID.

  7. Collection and Payment Once everything is prepared, SJD Trading Ltd will arrange a convenient time to collect your car. They will check the vehicle against the details provided to ensure everything is in order. Once confirmed, they will pay you the agreed-upon amount for your scrap car. Payment is usually made via bank transfer or sometimes in cash.

  8. Notification and Certificate of Destruction After your car has been collected, SJD Trading Ltd will notify the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) that the car has been scrapped. You will receive a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) from SJD Trading Ltd, which is a legal document proving that your car has been scrapped and is no longer your responsibility.

  9. Environmental Responsibility One of the key benefits of scrapping your car through SJD Trading Ltd, a licensed ATF, is that they are required to dispose of vehicles in an environmentally friendly manner. This includes safely draining fluids, recycling materials, and disposing of hazardous parts in accordance with regulations.
