Scrap my car
in Woking

Quick to reach from the M25

The A320 and A245 bring a collector in from junctions 10 and 11 of the M25 in minutes, and the A3 at Send is just as close. Woking jobs are usually grouped with Guildford and the Elmbridge towns, so once you accept a price the yard normally has a day for you within one to three days.

Where the car is

GU21 is the centre, Horsell, Goldsworth Park, St John’s and Knaphill; GU22 Old Woking, Kingfield, Westfield, Mayford, Hook Heath and Pyrford; GU24 the villages — Bisley, West End, Chobham, Brookwood and Pirbright; KT14 Byfleet and West Byfleet. Most cars here sit on a drive, which is the easiest collection there is. The exceptions are the flats around the station and the Sheerwater estate, where a permit bay or a tight turn is worth mentioning when you book.

Commuter cars at the end of the line

A lot of what Woking scraps is a second car that stopped being used when the train took over: five or ten years parked up, a flat battery, an MOT long gone. Those are non-runners and priced as such, with the winch included. The other regular is the family car that failed its MOT on corrosion or suspension and is not worth the bill — MOT failures are priced like any other car, minus whatever is missing. Vans from the Kestrel Way and Monument Way units go through the same form and can be invoiced.

Paid within 24 hours, paperwork closed

The collecting yard is an Authorised Treatment Facility. It checks the registered keeper’s photo ID and proof of address, pays by bank transfer within 24 hours of collection, and issues the Certificate of Destruction so the DVLA knows the car is gone. A missing logbook does not stop the sale.
