Why Peterborough drivers scrap with us

Peterborough has no Clean Air Zone, so there's no charging scheme to factor into the decision - just the ordinary economics of repair costs against a car's real-world value.
 
The city's excellent road and rail links, the same qualities that first attracted major engine manufacturing here in the 1930s, mean it still carries significant through-traffic today, adding the usual stop-start wear to ageing vehicles on the approach routes.

Did you know? 

Peterborough is where the modern diesel car engine was invented

In 1932, engineers Frank Perkins and Charles Chapman founded Perkins Engines in a small Peterborough office, setting out to build a diesel engine fast enough to rival petrol — at a time when diesels were considered slow, heavy workhorses. 

They succeeded: Perkins is widely credited with creating the world's first true high-speed diesel engine, and by the 1950s their engines were being fitted into American cars including the Plymouth Savoy. 

Nearly a century on, Perkins is still headquartered and manufacturing in Peterborough today, now part of Caterpillar, having produced more than 20 million engines. Peterborough has another, quieter claim to automotive fame too: Rolls-Royce founder Henry Royce was born in the nearby village of Alwalton.

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.
