Scrap my car in Rockingham, the simple way
If you want to scrap your car in Rockingham, start with the registration and postcode. Our online price tool looks up the vehicle, works out what it is worth to us and shows a figure on screen. Accept it and we call you to arrange a free collection at a time that suits you.
Rockingham is a small village with a big view. It sits on the A6003 north of Corby, with Rockingham Castle above and the steep Rockingham Hill dropping down towards Caldecott and the Rutland border. Cars here tend to live long, quiet lives, and many end up parked beside a cottage long after their last MOT.
We are based in Corby, so Rockingham is very much on our patch. George Mitchell runs the business and has worked in vehicle recovery for over five years.
What kinds of car do we take from Rockingham?
We buy any scrap car, plus vans up to 3.5 tonnes, 4x4s and pickups. Age, make and condition do not matter much. Around Rockingham we often hear about:
- A second car that has not moved since its MOT ran out.
- An older 4x4 that has done its time on country roads.
- A car that belonged to a parent or grandparent who no longer drives.
- A non-runner with flat tyres or seized brakes sitting by a wall.
- A car damaged in a bump on the hill that is not worth repairing.
Each of these has its own page with more detail, listed further down.
Does the hill cause a problem for collection?
No. Rockingham Hill is steep and the A6003 carries steady traffic, so we plan the pick-up before we set off. Our collections are done with our own recovery trucks from Rapid Recovery Corby, George's recovery company. That means beavertail transporters, spec lift tow trucks and a van with dollies and skates for tight spots. A car that will not roll, steer or start is still a normal job for us.
Tell us when you book if the car is behind a gate, on a slope or in a narrow gap between buildings. A quick description or a photo helps us bring the right kit.
How much is my scrap car worth in Rockingham?
The price depends mostly on weight, because scrap is valued by the tonne, and on the scrap metal market at the time. Make and model matter too, as does whether the car is complete with its engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels. Keys, a V5C and the location also play a part. Our guide on how scrap car prices work explains each factor.
We do not publish set figures, because every car is different. The fastest way to know is to get your instant price online. The price stands as long as the car is complete and as described.
Why bank transfer and not cash?
The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 made it illegal to pay cash for scrap metal, and that includes scrap cars. Anyone still offering cash for cars is breaking the law. We pay instantly by bank transfer when we collect, which also leaves you with a clear record of the sale.
What happens to the car afterwards?
Every car we buy goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility. The ATF issues a Certificate of Destruction and tells the DVLA the car has been scrapped. We hold a waste carrier licence and a scrap metal collector's licence. Our certificate of destruction guide explains what the CoD is and why you should keep it.

What to have ready
Before we arrive, have your photo ID and proof of address to hand, because the law requires us to check the seller's name and address. Have the V5C logbook too if you have it. If it has gone missing, read our guide to scrapping a car without a logbook. Empty the car of personal belongings, and if it carries a private plate, transfer or retain it with the DVLA before collection day.
