Sell my scrap car in Grafton Underwood

If you want to sell your scrap car in Grafton Underwood, we make it simple. Rapid Recovery Corby buys scrap and unwanted cars, vans and motorbikes, collects them free of charge, and pays you by bank transfer. Every vehicle goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, so it is recycled properly and the paperwork is done right.

Which vehicles do you take?

We take almost anything that is finished or no longer wanted:

• Cars that won't start or haven't run for months.
• Vehicles with no MOT or no tax.
• Cars damaged in an accident.
• Old vans and motorbikes.
• Vehicles without a V5C logbook, as long as you can show proof of ID.

In a village, it is common for a car to be left on a drive or in a garage long after it has stopped being used. If yours has been sitting for a while with flat tyres or seized brakes, we can still move it.

How much will I get for my scrap car?

We price each vehicle on a few things:

1. Weight. Most of the value is in the metal.
2. Scrap metal prices. These go up and down with the market.
3. Make and model. Some vehicles have more useful parts.
4. Completeness. Missing engines, wheels or panels reduce the price.
5. Condition. Heavy damage and rust bring it down.

Call or WhatsApp us with the registration, make and model and we will give you a quote. There is no charge for collection. See the scrap car cost guide for more on how values are worked out.

Why we only pay by bank transfer

The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 makes it illegal for scrap metal dealers and collectors to pay cash for scrap, and that covers scrap cars. We pay by bank transfer every time. It also gives you a clear record that you sold the vehicle and when.

Licensed from start to finish

We hold a waste carrier licence and a scrap metal collector's licence. Your vehicle goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). The ATF issues a Certificate of Destruction and tells the DVLA the vehicle has been scrapped. Once the DVLA knows, it refunds any full months of vehicle tax to you automatically.

Our step-by-step guide on how to scrap a car covers the process in more depth.

Collection in Grafton Underwood

On narrow lanes we position the truck carefully so other road users can get past, and we keep the time on the road short.

Collection day, step by step

• We arrive at the time agreed with you.
• We check your ID and any documents you have.
• We load the vehicle and secure it.
• We send payment by bank transfer.
• The vehicle goes to the ATF for dismantling and recycling.

Before you hand it over

Check the glovebox, door pockets, boot and spare wheel well for anything personal. Take out sat navs, dash cams, parking permits and anything with your details on. If you want to keep a private number plate, get it transferred off before collection. After the car has gone, cancel the insurance and any direct debits connected to it.

What we will need from you

• Proof of ID.
• The V5C logbook if you have it.
• Keys, if you still have them.

Why use us rather than a cash buyer

Anyone offering cash for a scrap car is breaking the law. With us you get a licensed collector, insurance for goods in transit, public liability and road risks, and a vehicle that goes to an ATF rather than being quietly resold. That paper trail protects you if questions come up later about who owned the car.

Not sure it is scrap?

Some cars that look finished can be repaired for a sensible price. If you want a garage's opinion first, we can take the car there through car transport from Grafton Underwood. If it has broken down on the road, start with breakdown recovery in Grafton Underwood.

Clearing more than one vehicle

Garages, dealers, companies and families clearing a property sometimes have several vehicles to go. Some of our trucks carry one and tow a second, which helps when there is more than one to collect. Businesses can arrange invoicing.

We also collect from Geddington, Brigstock and Lowick.
