Why Manchester drivers scrap with us

Greater Manchester's planned Clean Air Zone was formally scrapped by the Government in 2025, replaced with an £86 million investment-led plan focused on cleaner buses and taxis rather than charging drivers. 
 
So unlike some UK cities, there's no charging scheme in Manchester to factor into a decision about scrapping an older car - and there never would have applied to private cars even under the original plan.

Manchester's dense inner-ring traffic and frequent tram-line road-sharing still add real stop-start wear to clutches and brakes, on top of whatever repair bills an ageing car already needs.

Did you know? 

Rolls-Royce was founded in Manchester, not Derby or Crewe

Henry Royce built his first car at his factory on Cooke Street in Hulme, Manchester, in 1904 - and it was at Manchester's Midland Hotel, on 4 May 1904, that Charles Rolls first met Royce and agreed to sell every car he could build. 

The Rolls-Royce partnership that followed only moved production to Derby in 1908. Manchester's motoring history doesn't stop there: Ford opened its first factory outside the United States at Trafford Park in 1911, home to Europe's first car production line, and by 1914 Manchester was one of the biggest motor manufacturing cities in the world. 
 
It's easy to forget today, but for a couple of decades Manchester was genuinely a global car-making powerhouse.

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.
