Scrapping Your Car for cash
Not very long ago, scrapping your car in Edinburgh meant you had to pay the scrap dealer to come and collect your car. These days, market prices and improved processing technology mean that more of the materials your car is composed of can be recycled at a profit, meaning that scrap dealers will now pay you for your scrap car in Edinburgh.
Cars get scrapped for many reasons, including accidents, MOT failures, mechanical breakdown meaning the car is a non-runner, low emission zone charges, among others.
Whatever the reason, scrapping your car is hassle-free with scrapmycaredinburgh.scot and we'll offer you our best price for doing so.
In the past, finding a company prepared to offer you a good price for your scrap car in Edinburgh was a time-consuming, hit and miss process looking through newspaper adverts and phoning company after company for a quotation. Even then, it was by no means unknown for cars to be illegally put back on the road and sold, leaving the original owner liable for fines or speeding tickets incurred by the new owner.
These days, the Internet allows owners to check the credentials of potential purchasers so that they can be sure of getting a good price for their scrap car, and most importantly, ensure that they are dealing with an Approved Authorised Treatment Facility. Registration is renewed annually and approved by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). Only a Certificate of Destruction provided by an AATF provides you with a guarantee that your scrap vehicle will be properly disposed of in compliance with Government regulations.
We are one of the longest serving ATFs in Edinburgh (Leith), Broxburn and Glasgow and have served many happy customers over the years.
Since the introduction of the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, paying for scrap cars in actual cash is illegal, so all of our payments are made via BACS bank transfer. This makes it more difficult for criminals to sell stolen vehicles and more secure for legitimate customers.
We offer a quotation service by phone or email. Just call us on 01506 855448 and we will be pleased to help. Our scrap car collection service covers all of Edinburgh and its surrounding areas and normally we can collect your vehicle as soon as the next day.
