Scrap my car
in Redhill

M25, A23 and A25 in one place

Three main roads meet here, so yards from the Croydon side, the Crawley side and the Surrey side can all quote an RH1 or RH2 car. The site prices your car against each of them and shows you the top figure; that collector rings to arrange a day, usually within one to three days of your accepting.

The districts, and the hill

RH1 is Redhill, Merstham, South Merstham, Earlswood, Salfords, Nutfield and Bletchingley; RH2 Reigate and Woodhatch; RH6 Horley and the villages around Gatwick. Reigate sits under the North Downs and the roads off Reigate Hill and Wray Common are steep and narrow; Redhill is flatter and most cars are on a drive or a terrace street. Say where the car is parked and whether it rolls — the driver plans the truck around it.

Gatwick’s cars, and everyone else’s

Horley and Salfords have more high-mileage cars than anywhere else in Surrey: airport private hire, crew runs, the car that did the Gatwick commute for ten years. Those come in worn out rather than crashed, often still running, and a runner with a long MOT history is priced as one. The rest is ordinary — the MOT failure that is not worth the welding, the non-runner with a dead engine, the insurance write-off nobody has collected. Vans from the Holmethorpe and Salfords estates are priced from the registration too.

What the collector does

Checks the registered keeper’s photo ID and proof of address, pays by bank transfer within 24 hours of collection, and — as an Authorised Treatment Facility — issues the Certificate of Destruction and tells the DVLA. A lost V5C is dealt with by the ID check.
