BEST PLACE TO SCRAP A CAR?

The best option for scrapping your car is to use an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). Authorised treatment facilities can issue a certificate of destruction and can advise the DVLA that your car has been destroyed.

Certificate of destruction
You will receive a certificate of destruction immediately when you recycle your vehicle with an ATF. Keep the certificate in a safe place to prove the vehicle was scrapped.

CAR NOT WORTH FIXING?

When repairs cost more than buying a new car, breaks down or fails MOT, you should consider recycling your older vehicle. If your older car is beyond repair you can take your vehicle to an ATF and be paid scrap value for it. Repairing an old car can get expensive and it’s more financially viable to scrap your car and buy a new one. Are you scrapping your car, van, lorry, 4×4 or vehicle today?
If yes, contact Reclamet today for a fast top price quote.

DO I PAY TO SCRAP MY CAR?

No scrapping your car is usually free at an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). An Authorised Treatment Facility is also known as a scrapyard or breakers yard and specialises in end of life vehicle recycling. We offer a price match guarantee here at Reclamet and free scrap car collection for Thanet and the surrounding area of Kent. Cars and vehicles can only be scrapped at ATF’s as they hold a special licence issued by the Environmental Agency – DVLA.

WHEN TO SCRAP YOUR CAR?

People usually scrap their cars if they fail an MOT, break down, need expensive repairs, or cannot find a buyer.

Scrapping your car responsibly will ensure it’s properly recycled without damaging the environment.

If your car isn’t road safe you could end up with a fine or points on your driving licence. So if it has seen better days, then contact Reclamet today.

HOW TO INFORM THE DVLA?

DVLA will send you a letter within four weeks, this letter will confirm that they know the vehicle has been scrapped and that you’re no longer responsible for it.

If you do not receive a letter, Call DVLA on 0300 790 6802.

If you broke up the vehicle yourself, you must continue to tax it or declare it off-road (SORN). A SORN must be renewed each year until the vehicle has been taken to an ATF, or no longer own it.

WHAT DOCUMENTS DO I NEED?

The documents needed to sell your car at an Authorised Treatment facility include:

V5C Logbook
Owner manual and book pack
Part or full-service history
A Certificate of Destruction (COD)

When an ATF agrees to scrap your vehicle, they will issue you a Certificate of Destruction (CoD). A CoD is a legal requirement to prove your vehicle has been scrapped.

WHAT IDENTIFICATION I NEED?

Identification, which can either be:

Great Britain or Northern Ireland photocard driving valid licence
U.K. or EEA valid passport and utility bill (not mobile phone), bank or building society statement, credit or debit card statement, council tax letter, documents of no more than 3 months old.

Payment methods:
Bank Account

HOW MUCH IS MY CAR WORTH?

I couldn’t have asked for a more helpful, fast and efficient service in repairing a smashed car passenger window. They were fantastic, they went above and beyond to help me. They were so kind- and when that’s rare, as it is these days, it needs to be acknowledged!If I could give 20 starts I would.

I had a Ford Galaxy that has come to the limit of its useful life. I phoned Reclamet and they made the whole car recycling process as easy and hassle-free as possible. Cheery, helpful and knowledgeable office staff, good prices, prompt service to sort out the arrangements. On the day of collection, I was contacted by polite and courteous lorry driver ahead of his arrival, the collection and removal went without a problem.Payment was made promptly on the same day. The service was excellent from start to finish. If you are looking for a reliable car breaker service in Kent give Reclamet a call.

Beware of George and his great promise. Multiple phonecalls within 5mins of speaking to him finally accepted and agreed to a good deal. Car was picked up very quickly the next day and taken away for scrap. He Then promised the money in my account by 6pm...just to let you know they shut there phone lines at 5pm so no way of contacting them. Beautiful sales pitch to to avoid the payment not going in, was expecting to be honest(that's me lie). I will 'hopefully' get my money for scrap car 'probably' Monday as there closed over weekend. But fair play George for insisting on a review. Not your fault mate just part of a c#ntish system. Other than that 5 out of 5 for customer service and speedy collection of car.....fingers crossed for monday payment 💪
