A local scrap car buyer based in Corby
If you are thinking "scrap my car Corby", you are in the right place. We Buy Scrap Cars Corby is run by George Mitchell, who lives and works in the town. Corby is where our trucks are based, so it is the area we cover most often, from Kingswood and Lodge Park to Danesholme, Beanfield, Oakley Vale, Hazel Leys and the town centre.
We buy scrap and unwanted cars, vans up to 3.5 tonnes, 4x4s and pickups. Age, make and model do not matter. If it is finished, unwanted or simply not worth fixing, we will give you a price for it.
How do I get a price for my scrap car in Corby?
The quickest way is our instant online price. Type in your registration and your Corby postcode, and the price appears on screen. If you are happy with it, accept it, add your contact details and we will ring you to agree a collection time that suits you.
Prefer to talk it through? Call or WhatsApp 07598 314366. Photos over WhatsApp help if the car has damage or missing parts.
What we collect around the town
Corby has a bit of everything, and each part of town throws up its own kind of car to shift:
- Second cars left on driveways in Kingswood, Danesholme and Beanfield after an MOT failure.
- Cars in tight shared parking on newer streets in Oakley Vale and Hazel Leys, where a management company wants a dead car moved.
- Old runabouts sat in car parks near the town centre or Corby railway station.
- Work vans from the industrial estates and business parks at Earlstrees, Oakley Hay and around Phoenix Parkway.
- A parent's or grandparent's car after they stop driving, which we handle quietly and at a pace that suits the family.
Because collections are done with our own recovery trucks from our sister company, Rapid Recovery Corby, we can move cars that do not run, have flat tyres or have brakes that have seized on.

Why we pay by bank transfer, not cash
You may still see people offering cash for cars. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 made it illegal to pay cash for scrap metal, and that includes scrap cars. Anyone still paying cash is breaking the law. We pay instantly by bank transfer when we collect, so there is a clear record for both sides.
We hold a waste carrier licence and a scrap metal collector's licence. Every car we buy goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), which issues a Certificate of Destruction and tells the DVLA. Our guide to the Certificate of Destruction explains why you should keep it.
What should I have ready on collection day?
By law we have to check the seller's name and address. Have these to hand:
| What to have ready | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Photo ID (driving licence or passport) | Confirms who is selling |
| Proof of address | Required under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act |
| V5C logbook, if you have it | Shows the car is yours |
| Keys | Can affect the price and makes loading easier |
No logbook? You can still scrap the car with proof of ID and proof of ownership. Our guide on how to scrap a car without a logbook covers it.

Questions people ask
Do you collect scrap cars from all parts of Corby?
Yes. We collect free of charge from every part of Corby, including Kingswood, Lodge Park, Danesholme, Beanfield, Oakley Vale, Hazel Leys, the town centre and the industrial estates.
How quickly can you collect my car in Corby?
We agree a collection time that suits you when we call. Same-day collection is often possible because we are based in Corby, but we cannot promise it.
Will you pay me cash for my scrap car?
No. Paying cash for scrap cars is illegal under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, so we pay instantly by bank transfer when we collect.
Can I scrap a car in Corby without the V5C logbook?
Yes. You can still sell us the car if you show photo ID and proof of ownership and address on the day.
How is my scrap car price worked out?
The price mainly depends on the car's weight and the current scrap metal price, plus make and model, whether it is complete, and whether there are keys and a V5C. Enter your reg and postcode for an instant price.
What happens to my car after you collect it?
It goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and notifies the DVLA so you are no longer responsible for the vehicle.
