How to scrap your car in Bromley

If you have a scrap car in or around Bromley it's a simple process to get it scrapped for free.

  1. Phone us to arrange a time for the collection of your scrap car and to provide us with as much information on the car as possible.
  2. We collect the vehicle and the logbook at the allotted time. If you prefer you can mail the logbook to us before we come to collect your car. (If you do not have the logbook we can still scrap the car but you will need to let us know prior to us towing it away and you will need to inform the DVLA in writing of your intention to have the car scrapped.)
  3. You get an intent of destruction certificate as well as section 9 of the logbook back.
  4. You should then send 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 be notified by the DVLA within 4 to 6 weeks.

What do we do once we've taken 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 separate out all the parts that can be recycled (the catalytic converter for example). We remove any hazardous parts from your scrap car as well as any fuel left in the fuel tank. Only then is the vehicle ready to be crushed.
