Scrapping your car only requires a simple phone call, and that’s it! To kick start the process, get in touch with us on 0161 7616 481, and select scrap metal and scrap vehicle enquiries.
Provide your car registration, your location, along with a brief description of your car’s condition to receive an instant quote.
Based on the description of your vehicle, you’ll be able to see how much it’s worth within a matter of seconds. Once you’re happy to proceed, confirm your payment details and we’ll agree on a collection date and time that suits you.
On the day of your vehicle’s pickup, we’ll give you a call to ensure that the time is still appropriate. After you confirm, you’ll be met by a friendly Autosave driver who will take over the collection process for you. Alternatively, if you wish to drop the vehicle off with us, this can also be arranged.
If you have your V5 log book, hand this over to our Autosave driver before they take your vehicle away. If you don’t have the relevant documentation, make sure to inform the DVLA prior to collection. You’ll also need a form of official photo identification.
After the vehicle and paperwork have been received, we’ll send the payment to your bank account on the same day.

If you have your V5 log book, we will notify the DVLA for you. You will be left with a yellow slip, which you can send off to the DVLA for peace of mind. If you DO NOT have your log book, we can still take your vehicle. However, YOU must inform the DVLA as we are not permitted to do so without the document.

The Scrap Metal Dealers Act (2013) DOES NOT allow CASH payment for scrap vehicles. All payments are made online, but we can also offer cheque payment if required.
We make the payment via bank transfer (BACS). The payment is sent straight to your bank the same day we collect your vehicle.
Payments are made at the end of the day (16:45 – 17:00). However, if you require payment sooner, please advise a member of our team and we will happily arrange this for you.
Please note, if we collect your vehicle at the very end of the day, the driver may not make it back to site before accounts leave for the day. In the rare event that this should happen, the payment will be made the next morning.
You will be issued an invoice for your records. We can send this either via email or as a hard copy.
If you are still unsure of anything or require any further information, our phone lines are open five days a week (Monday to Friday) 8am til 7pm, and weekends 10am to 3pm. A member of our team would be more than happy to have a chat.
