Scrapping a car in Barnstaple the right way
You don't need to drive your car to a scrapyard or arrange transport. We come to you anywhere in Devon — including Bideford, Ilfracombe, Braunton, South Molton — load the vehicle onto our truck free of charge, and complete all the paperwork on the spot, even if the car hasn't run for years.
Every car is scrapped through a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, so it's disposed of legally and responsibly. You get a Certificate of Destruction, we notify the DVLA so you're no longer liable, and you're paid by same-day bank transfer. And because we assess salvage and parts value first, it's always worth checking whether selling beats straight scrapping — our quote shows you both.
Frequently asked questions
How much can I scrap my car for in Barnstaple?
Scrap values depend on the car's weight, current metal prices and any salvageable parts. Because we factor in salvage and parts — not just scrap metal — we often pay more than a traditional Barnstaple scrapyard. Enter your registration for an instant, guaranteed figure.
Do you offer free scrap car collection in Barnstaple?
Yes — collection is completely free right across Barnstaple and the wider Devon area, including Bideford, Ilfracombe, Braunton, South Molton and surrounding postcodes. We load non-running and immobile cars at no extra cost.
Will I get a Certificate of Destruction in Barnstaple?
Yes. Your car is scrapped through a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), so you receive a Certificate of Destruction and we notify the DVLA — meaning you're no longer liable for the vehicle.
Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook in Barnstaple?
Usually yes. We can still scrap your car without the V5C in most cases, provided you can confirm you're the registered keeper. Bring photo ID and proof of address for collection.
