Scrapping a car anywhere in Northumberland follows the same process whether you are in Hexham, Allendale, Haltwhistle, Prudhoe or one of the smaller villages. We collect from your driveway, transfer payment before we leave, and handle the DVLA notification ourselves. This page sets out what we take, what we pay for, and how to get a firm scrap figure in roughly two minutes.

How to scrap your car in Northumberland

Three simple steps from quote to cash in your account

1

Get your quote

Enter your reg and postcode above. We calculate a price based on your vehicle weight, condition, and distance from us.

2

Choose collection

Pick free collection from your address, or drop off at Hexham or Allendale for a better price. We work around you.

3

Get paid

We collect your car and transfer the agreed amount to your bank account on the spot. No waiting, no cheques.

What we take across Northumberland

We accept almost anything with wheels

Non-runners

Doesn't start or drive? No problem. We have the equipment to collect it.

SORN vehicles

Off the road and stored? We can collect it on a trailer or recovery truck.

Failed MOT

Too expensive to fix? We'll take it off your hands and pay you for the scrap value.

Accident damage

Written off or heavily damaged, we'll still give you a fair price based on weight.

High mileage

Old and high mileage cars with no trade value still have scrap metal value.

Alloy wheels

Got four alloys? They add value on top of the base scrap price.

What your scrap quote depends on

Every car is different, so we quote on the actual vehicle, not a generic figure. Enter your reg above for your exact quote.

Weight & size
Heavier cars, 4x4s and vans carry more recoverable metal, so they tend to be worth more.
Where you are
Free collection across the Tyne Valley. Distance from the yard factors into the figure.
Drop-off
Bring it to Hexham or Allendale instead of collection and the figure improves.

Your exact figure is confirmed on screen before any collection takes place.

Common questions about scrapping in Northumberland

Everything you need to know about scrapping your car with us

How quickly will I get paid?

Payment is made by bank transfer on the day of collection, before your car is loaded. You'll have the money in your account within a few hours.

Do I need the V5C logbook?

It helps but it's not always essential. Contact us and we'll advise based on your situation. We'll always notify the DVLA on your behalf.

What if my car doesn't start?

No problem. We run a recovery truck with a winch and a jump pack, so non-runners and long-stood cars are no issue. Collection is reflected in the price shown in your quote.

Is there a minimum value?

Very small or very old cars close to our collection area may come in at a low price once distance is factored in, but we'll always show you the full breakdown before you commit.

Can I drop the car off instead?

Yes, and you'll get a better figure for it. Drop off at Hexham or Allendale instead of collection and the figure improves. Choose your preferred option when you get your quote.

What documents do I need?

Your V5C if you have it, and photo ID. We'll handle the DVLA notification so you are clear of liability once we collect.

It might be worth more than scrap

We are a trade buyer, not just a scrapyard, so a lot of cars offered as scrap are worth more to us. If yours has one of these, get a full valuation first:

A car that will not start A failed MOT car An old or unwanted car A car for spares or repair
