Scrap car collection in Deenethorpe, from drive, yard or barn

Rural properties have a habit of collecting old vehicles. A car parked up behind a barn, a van that failed its MOT years ago, a motorbike under a cover in the corner of a yard. If you want them gone, Rapid Recovery Corby offers scrap car collection in Deenethorpe with free pick-up and payment by bank transfer.

We buy scrap and unwanted cars, vans and motorbikes in almost any condition.

What we will take

Non-runners, including vehicles that haven't moved in years.
Cars and vans with no MOT.
Accident-damaged vehicles.
Vehicles without a V5C logbook, as long as you can show proof of ID.
Motorbikes, running or not.

Getting a car out of a barn or yard

Long-stored vehicles bring practical problems. Tyres go flat, brakes seize and the ground around them can be soft. We are equipped for it. Our van with dollies and skates moves cars that won't roll, and our trucks carry winches to pull vehicles onto the bed in a controlled way. Tell us about access when you call, such as narrow gates, gravel, grass or mud, and we will plan the collection around it.

How it works

Step one. Call or WhatsApp 07598 314366 with the make, model and condition. Photos on WhatsApp help us give an accurate price.

Step two. We tell you what we can pay. If you are happy, we book a free collection.

Step three. We arrive, load the vehicle and take it away.

Step four. You are paid by bank transfer.

Paid by bank transfer, as the law requires

The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 bans cash payments for scrap metal, including scrap cars. We pay every scrap vehicle by bank transfer. That protects you and leaves a clear record of the sale.

Licensed and done properly

We hold a waste carrier licence and a scrap metal collector's licence. Every vehicle we collect for scrap goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). The ATF issues the Certificate of Destruction and notifies the DVLA.

Once the DVLA knows the vehicle has been scrapped, it refunds any full months of vehicle tax automatically. Many long-stored vehicles will already be declared off the road, but if yours is still taxed, you will get the refund without doing anything extra.

What is my scrap car worth?

Factor	Effect on price
Weight	Heavier vehicles usually fetch more
Scrap metal prices	Rise and fall over time
Make and model	Some are worth more than others
Completeness	Missing engines, wheels or panels reduce the value
Condition	Heavy damage or corrosion can lower the price

We give you a price before we book the collection. Our scrap car cost guide explains the factors in more detail.

Scrap or sell on?

Not every old car in a barn is scrap. If it is a classic or a restoration project with value to an enthusiast, you might decide to sell it rather than scrap it. If so, we can help with car transport in Deenethorpe to get it to a buyer anywhere in the UK. If it has reached the end of its life, we will collect it for scrap.

Vehicles that have been off the road for years

Some of the cars we collect around Deenethorpe have not turned a wheel for a very long time. That is not a problem. We don't need the car to start, steer or roll. It helps if you can tell us whether the wheels turn, whether anything has been removed, such as the engine or seats, and roughly how long it has been standing. Photos sent by WhatsApp let us price the job accurately and bring the right equipment first time.

Clearing a property

We often help people clearing a property, sorting out a relative's estate or tidying up a farm yard. If you have more than one vehicle to go, let us know when you call. Some of our trucks can carry one car and tow a second on a dolly, which can help clear a site in fewer trips.

What you will need

The V5C logbook, or proof of ID if you don't have one.
Your bank details for payment.
The keys, if they can be found.
Personal items removed from the vehicle.
A clear route from the vehicle to where a truck can park.
