How to scrap your car in Dartford

If you've got a scrap car in or near Dartford it's easy to have it scrapped for free.

  1. Give us a ring and arrange a time for us to collect your scrap car and provide as many details as you can about the car.
  2. We collect the logbook from you and tow away the car at the allotted time. Alternatively, you can send the logbook to us before hand. (Even if you don't have the logbook for the vehicle we will still be able to tow away the scrap car but you will need to let us know before we take the vehicle and you will need to write to the DVLA, informing them of your intention to scrap the car.)
  3. You get section 9 of the logbook back, together with an intent of destruction certificate.
  4. You mail the section 9 to the DVLA.
  5. We send the rest of the logbook to the DVLA and inform them that the vehicle is off the road (make a SORN) and can be de-registered.
  6. You should receive notification from the DVLA within about 4 to 6 weeks.

What happens after we've towed away your scrap car?

After we have towed away your scrap car we first remove any parts that may be reused in some way, this commonly includes things such as the tyres and the battery. Then we remove the catalytic converter and other parts which can be recycled. We remove any hazardous parts from your scrap car as well as any fuel left in the fuel tank. Finally, the vehicle is ready to be crushed.
