Why Birmingham drivers scrap with us

Birmingham's daily commute — the M6, the A38(M) Aston Expressway, and the A4540 Middleway ring road puts sustained stop-start strain on brakes, clutches and suspension. Combined with the Birmingham Clean Air Zone charging non-compliant vehicles £8 a day, many older or high-mileage cars become genuinely uneconomical to keep on the road, particularly once a major repair is due.
 
 If your car is affected by the Clean Air Zone, scrapping a non-compliant vehicle may also qualify you for a scrappage incentive - check current eligibility on the official Brum Breathes scheme page before assuming the amount, as incentive terms change.

Scrap My Car Birmingham
 

Did you know? Birmingham built Britain's car industry

Herbert Austin built his first car at Longbridge, south Birmingham, in just two weeks in 1905, ready for that year's Motor Show. The Austin Seven, Britain's answer to the Model T Ford, was built there from 1922, and by 1969 the two-millionth Mini had rolled off the same production line.
 
At its peak, Longbridge employed around 25,000 people. For over a century, Birmingham didn't just build cars, it built the industry that made them part of everyday British life, which is part of why it feels right that a Birmingham car reaches the end of the road here, recycled properly rather than left to rust.

Top Customer FAQ’s

The most common methods of payment available are Bank Transfer and Cheque Payment. Bank Transfers are usually cleared within 24 hours from the time of collection. Cheque Payments are issued on collection but can take a few days to clear with your bank. it will depend on your local collections team as to which payment method they can offer. 

In order to receive a tax refund you will need to inform DVLA that you have sold your vehicle. This can be done once the vehicle has been collected using the V5C (logbook) - section 9 or section 4 on the new logbooks issued in April 2019 (yellow section) which will be filled in on the day of collection by the driver, and handed back to you, you will need to send this to DVLA (we recommend recorded delivery). If you do not have the V5C, we advise you send a letter to DVLA using the address details of the collector to advise that you are no longer the registered keeper as of the day and time of the collection. For more information regarding the tax refund, please contact DVLA or visit https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-refund

We can normally collect without the V5C, if you add in the comments once you accept 'V5C missing' the collection company can confirm when they contact you. It is important that the registered keeper notifies DVLA in writing that the vehicle has been scrapped/sold using the details from the driver on the day of collection. If you need details of which collection team collected your vehicle feel free to contact us by phone or via our online chat facility.

The person present at the time of collection will have to provide Photo I.D and some form of address proof,recent Utility Bill/Bank statement, etc

The person present at the time of collection will need to provide us with their own Photo I.D, and proof of address (Utility Bill/Bank Statement etc, that is less than 3 months old), the keys and, if possible, the V5C (log book). We may also ask for spare keys and any other paper work, such as service receipts and old MOTs.

Due to the SMDA 2013 (scrap metal dealers act 2013) scrap metal dealers and car breakers can no longer pay for vehicles using CASH and also need by law a copy of the photo I.D and proof of address (recent Utility Bill/Bank statement, etc) of the person there at the time of the collection.

No, we do not sell parts at Remove My Car.
Common questions about scrapping a car in Birmingham
 
How much is my scrap car worth in Birmingham?
Scrap value depends on your car's weight, condition, and current metal prices, alongside make and model. Get an exact instant quote using the form above.

Do I need to be present for collection in Birmingham?
No. You can nominate someone else to hand over the keys and paperwork, provided they're over 18 and bring valid photo ID and proof of address, in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

Can I scrap a car in Birmingham without a V5C logbook?
Yes. If your V5C is missing, note this when you accept your quote — our collection team will confirm what alternative proof of ownership is needed on the day.

Am I eligible for the Birmingham Clean Air Zone scrappage incentive?
Eligibility depends on your vehicle's compliance status and the scheme's current terms, which are set by Birmingham City Council rather than by us. Check the official scrappage scheme page for up-to-date eligibility before scrapping on that basis.
