How can I scrap my car safely during the lockdown?

Request a hassle-free quote

The first step to our contactless vehicle collections is to get a direct quote online. With our intuitive and straightforward scrap car pricing calculator it has never been easier to find out how much your vehicle is worth. Simply enter your vehicle registration number followed by your postcode for an instant quote.

Our quotes are guaranteed, as long at the vehicle is complete (as it would be if it were parked on the road) and no major components are missing. If you are looking to scrap a car in Dorset that is not complete, please get in touch for a tailored quote.

Confirm your booking

When you have accepted our quote, we will get in contact within 24 hours to confirm your booking and schedule a contactless vehicle collection. To comply with the law, we will also require your in-date Driving License and Vehicle Registration Document (V5c) – this can be sent to us electronically through our online portal. For more information on the paperwork required to scrap your car, get in touch with our helpful support team on info@gpmetals.co.uk.

Contact-free collection and payment

Our contact-free collection and payment keep both our customers and our team safe. Once you have confirmed your booking, we will arrive promptly to transport your vehicle to our car scrap yard and vehicle recycling centre based in Weymouth.

Please note that you must provide accurate payment details for us to arrange an electronic transfer and we will only ever ask for your bank account number and sort code. We aim to complete all bank transfers within 48 hours from the time of collection.
