Rapid Recovery Corby buys scrap and unwanted cars, vans and motorbikes, collects them for free and pays you by bank transfer. We are based just next door in Corby, so arranging a time is easy.
We take cars in almost any state. It does not need to run, have an MOT or be in one piece.

- Cars without a V5C logbook, as long as you can show proof of ID.

Weldon has a lot of older family cars that have done their time, often a second or third car that has been parked up and forgotten. They are exactly the sort of vehicle we collect.

- We collect. We load the car, even if it doesn't roll, using a winch or dollies.
- You get paid by bank transfer.
Why is scrap paid by bank transfer?
The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 bans cash payments for scrap. Every scrap car we buy is paid for by bank transfer, with no exceptions. It is safer for you, and it means there is a clear record of the sale.
Licensed and properly processed
We hold a waste carrier licence and a scrap metal collector's licence. Every car we collect for scrap goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). The ATF issues the Certificate of Destruction and tells the DVLA the car has been scrapped. Once the DVLA knows, any full months of vehicle tax left are refunded to you automatically.
That means you are no longer responsible for the car once it has gone, and you don't need to chase anyone for the tax.
How much will I get for my scrap car?
The price depends on several things:
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Weight | Heavier cars contain more metal |
| Scrap metal prices | These go up and down over time |
| Make and model | Some models are worth more |
| Completeness | Missing parts lower the value |
| Condition | Damage and missing items affect the price |
We give you a clear price on the phone before we arrange collection. Our scrap car cost guide explains it further.
Getting cars out of tight spots
Older Weldon properties often have narrow drives, garden walls or cars squeezed in at the side of a house. A car that has stood for a long time may also have seized brakes or flat tyres. We bring a van with dollies and skates for jobs like this, so we can move the car out to a spot where it can be loaded safely, without damaging walls, gates or your drive.
Moving house or clearing a drive in Weldon?
Plenty of our Weldon scrap jobs come up when people are moving, or when a new car arrives and the old one is suddenly in the way. A non-running car on a shared parking area or a tight new-build drive can be a real nuisance. We can usually fit collection around your plans, including evenings and weekends, so the space is clear when you need it.
If you are clearing a relative's property, we can collect from there too. Just let us know who will be at the address and who holds the paperwork.
What to have ready on the day
- The V5C logbook if you have it, or proof of ID if you don't.
- Your bank details for the transfer.
- Keys, if you still have them.
- Any personal items taken out of the car.
Our guide on how to scrap a car walks you through the process in more detail.
Not sure whether to repair or scrap?
If your car has just broken down and you are weighing up a big repair bill, we can recover it to a garage first so you can get a quote. See breakdown recovery in Weldon. We also collect scrap cars from nearby Priors Hall Park and Deenethorpe.
