Why Cardiff drivers scrap with us

Cardiff's older housing stock and dense city-centre streets mean many residents are weighing up whether an ageing car is worth keeping once repair bills start climbing - narrow terraced streets and on-street parking take a real toll on bodywork and suspension over time.

With the M4 running straight past the city and heavy commuter traffic from the Valleys each morning, stop-start driving adds further wear to brakes and clutches, particularly on older, higher-mileage cars.

Wales, only car maker started just up the road from Cardiff

Gilbern was the only production car ever fully designed and built in Wales — founded by a butcher and a former German POW, who built their first prototypes in a house in Church Village before moving into a proper factory at Llantwit Fardre, near Pontypridd (an area we still collect scrap cars from today). 

Around 1,000 Gilberns were made between 1959 and 1973, and more than 600 are still on the road, cherished by owners across the UK to this day.

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.
