Scrapping a car in Rushton, start to finish

If you are thinking "scrap my car" and you live in Rushton, the first step takes a minute. Put the registration and your postcode into our instant price checker, and the price shows on screen. Accept it, add your contact details, and we ring you to agree a collection time that works for you.

We are a local scrap car buyer based in Corby, run by George Mitchell. Rushton sits on our doorstep, between Corby and the towns of Desborough and Rothwell, so collecting from the village is routine for us. Collection is free, wherever the car is parked.

Why cars end up needing to go

Village life tends to mean more than one car per household. The second car often does the short runs, then one day it fails its MOT or simply stops starting, and it sits on the drive while everyone decides what to do. That is the most common call we get from small villages like this one.

Other reasons we hear from Rushton owners:

• A car has failed its MOT on rust, brakes or suspension and the repair bill is bigger than the car is worth.
• An older relative has stopped driving and the family needs the car moved, kindly and without fuss.
• A project car has been parked up in a garage or outbuilding for years and the plan has changed.
• A van used for work has reached the end of its life.
• A car was damaged in a bump and the insurer has written it off, but you kept it.

Narrow lanes and tight spots

Rushton has narrow lanes, and the railway line runs nearby, so we think about access before we set off. Our collections are done with our own recovery trucks from Rapid Recovery Corby, George's recovery company. That means we can bring a spec lift tow truck, a beavertail transporter, or a van with dollies and skates for awkward garages and seized wheels.

Tell us where the car is when we call. If it is in a garage behind the house, wedged on a sloping drive, or sat on flat tyres, we plan around it.

How the price is worked out

Scrap cars are priced mainly on weight and the current scrap metal price. Make and model matter too, along with whether the car is complete with its engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels, and whether you have keys and a V5C. Our cost guide and our guide on how scrap car prices work explain each factor.

The price stands as long as the car is complete and as described. If something is different on the day, we explain before we load and you can say no.

Paid by bank transfer, never cash

We pay by bank transfer when we collect. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 makes it illegal to pay cash for scrap cars, so any buyer offering cash for cars is breaking the law. By law we also check your name and address, so have photo ID and proof of address ready, plus the V5C if you have it.

Paperwork after the car has gone

Every car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and tells the DVLA. Any full months of tax left are refunded automatically, and you should cancel your insurance yourself. Our step-by-step scrapping guide covers the rest.
