How does the SP88 scrapping process work?
Step 1: Give us a call
A simple phone call is all that is required to scrap your car. To begin, call us at +44 7592 637301 and choose scrap metal and scrap vehicle enquiries.
Step 2: Provide your details
Provide your car registration, your location, along with a brief description of your car’s condition to receive an instant quote.
Step 3: Get your quote
Within seconds, you'll be able to determine the value of your vehicle based on its description. Once you're ready, confirm your payment information, and we'll schedule a collection date and time that works for you.
Step 4: Arranging pickup
We'll call you on your vehicle's pickup day to confirm that the timing is still good. After you confirm, you will be greeted by a courteous Autosave driver who will handle the collection for you. Alternatively, if you want to drop the vehicle off with us, this can also be arranged.
Step 5: Providing your paperwork
If you have your V5 log book, please provide it to our Autosave driver before they remove your vehicle. If you do not have the necessary papers, notify the DVLA before collection. You will also require proper photo identification.
Step 6: Get paid for your scrap vehicle
We'll deposit the money into your bank account the same day we receive the vehicle and documents.
Why should I use SP88.co.uk to get a scrap car estimate and have my car removed?
Most people only scrap a car once in their lives, so we've developed a professional scrap car comparison service that gives UK London consumers information, assistance, and guidance when selling their used automobile, from estimate to trash car collection.
Our value is the first step in our commitment to provide a straightforward manner to sell your unwanted vehicle. Because our expert network of scrap dealers and dismantlers is the greatest in the automobile industry, we can provide immediate quotations from our pricing comparison that will not be beaten.
When we've identified an excellent price for your scrap car, we'll assist you in arranging a free collection-so the location of your vehicle is irrelevant-and when the car is ready for collection; we'll even assist you in completing your DVLA paperwork. The customer is paid quickly, with funds transferred directly to your bank. There is no easier way to deal with an old or accident-damaged vehicle from start to finish. Recycling your car couldn't be easier.
“Do you pay cash for scrap cars?”
The respectable recycling centres with which we work do not pay cash for scrap automobiles. Therefore, avoid any sellers who promise payment for your scrap car. Furthermore, since 2013, it has been illegal to pay for scrap. Thus, buyers who do so are breaching the law and may face legal consequences.
All of our scrap partners are government-registered authorised treatment facilities, so you can be confident that they will handle your vehicle responsibly, and as it leaves on the back of their retrieval van to their site, your obligation for the car is fully discharged.
"What is the value of my scrap car?"
A scrap car’s value is determined by various characteristics, including weight, trim level, and engine type. The good news is that we work with many specialised dismantlers and vehicle recyclers who frequently provide more than just scrap value for specific makes and models. So we’re convinced that our pricing will not be beaten!

It makes no difference what condition your vehicle is in; we buy any car and offer a fair price.

A Certificate of Destruction (COD) is a document confirming your vehicle's destruction. The DVLA generates the certificate, which is then delivered to a scrap yard that dismantles a car. Suppose you need a COD for your automobile for insurance or other reasons. In that case, you should request it at the time of booking since, even if your car has reached the end of its life with you, some of our professional salvage partners may repurpose it by repairing or transplanting it and putting it back on the road.
