Here is what you need to know.
How Close Are We to Walsall?
Our authorised treatment facility is based at Tramway Close, Darlaston, WS10 8LJ — which puts us right on Walsall's southern border. Most collections in the Walsall area take us less than 20 minutes to reach, which is why we can often offer same-day slots when other buyers cannot.
What Makes a Car Worth Scrapping?
Not every car that gets scrapped is completely written off. Many perfectly driveable cars end up being scrapped because:
- The repair cost exceeds the car's value
- The MOT failure is too expensive to fix
- The owner is moving abroad or no longer needs a car
- The car has been sitting unused for months or years
- Insurance has written it off as a Category S or Category N
Whatever the reason, if you have decided the car is not worth keeping, we will give you a fair price for it.

What to Do Before We Arrive
A few simple steps will make the collection go smoothly:
1. Gather your documents You will need your V5C logbook and a form of photo ID. If you cannot find your V5C, call us — we can advise on your options.
2. Clear out your belongings Check the boot, under the seats, and in the door pockets. It is easy to leave things behind.
3. Remove private plates if you want to keep them If your car has a personalised number plate, transfer it to another vehicle or put it on retention with the DVLA before we collect. Once the car is scrapped, the plate is gone.
4. Cancel your insurance after collection Do not cancel it before — you need it to be insured until it leaves your property. Once you have the Certificate of Destruction, contact your insurer to cancel and claim any refund on unused premium.

Scrapping a Non-Runner in Walsall
A car that does not start or cannot be driven is still worth money as scrap. We collect non-runners regularly and have the right equipment to load and transport vehicles that cannot move under their own power.
When you call, just tell us the car does not run and describe the issue as best you can. We will make sure the right vehicle comes out to collect it.
What Happens After Collection?
Once your car arrives at our Darlaston site, it goes through our authorised treatment facility process:
- All fluids (oil, coolant, brake fluid, fuel) are drained and disposed of safely
- Usable parts are removed and catalogued as recycled salvage parts
- The remaining shell is crushed and sent for metal recycling
You will receive a Certificate of Destruction confirming the vehicle has been legally scrapped and your liability as registered keeper has ended. Keep this document — your insurer will ask for it.
