How to scrap your car in Leatherhead

It's so easy to get your old scrap car towed away in Leatherhead.

  1. Get in touch and tell us the details of your scrap car as well as arrange a time for collection.
  2. We collect the logbook from you and tow away the car at the allotted time. If you like you can send us the logbook before hand. (If you do not have the logbook we can still scrap the car but you will need to let us know prior to us towing it away and you will need to inform the DVLA in writing of your intention to have the car scrapped.)
  3. We give you back section 9 of the logbook along with an intent of destruction certificate.
  4. You send off section 9 to the DVLA.
  5. We send the rest of the logbook to the DVLA and inform them that the vehicle is off the road (make a SORN) and can be de-registered.
  6. You should receive notification from the DVLA within about 4 to 6 weeks.

What do we do once we've taken away your scrap car?

After we have towed away your scrap car we first remove any parts that may be reused in some way, this commonly includes things such as the tyres and the battery. We then separate out the parts that can be recycled such as the catalytic converter. We remove an fuel remaining in your scrap car as well as any hazardous parts. It is only then that the vehicle can be crushed.
