Why people in Wilbarston call us
Wilbarston is a village of stone houses sitting high on a ridge, with the Leicestershire border close by and open farmland falling away to the Welland valley. Cars here cover a lot of miles, because most journeys mean a drive to Corby, Kettering or Market Harborough. That wears cars out.
Typical reasons we get a call from the village:
- A high-mileage commuter car that finally isn't worth repairing.
- A second car that failed its MOT and was parked up.
- A classic or project car that never got finished.
- A relative's car that nobody in the family needs.
- A farm runabout or pickup on its last legs.
Everything we offer in Wilbarston
- Scrap car collection in Wilbarston: the main service for any unwanted car.
- MOT failures in Wilbarston: sell instead of paying for big repairs.
- Non-runners in Wilbarston: cars that won't start, roll or steer.
- Damaged cars in Wilbarston: accident damage and insurance write-offs.
- Scrap vans in Wilbarston: vans and pickups up to 3.5 tonnes.
Will a truck get up to my house?
On a ridge-top village, some drives are steep and some lanes are narrow. We bring the right vehicle for the job. Collections are carried out with our own trucks through our sister company, Rapid Recovery Corby, including tilt-and-slide transporters, spec lift tow trucks and a van with dollies and skates for low garages and tight corners. Tell us about the access when we call.
How do you work out the price?
Scrap is priced per tonne, so the weight of the car and today's scrap metal price matter most. We then look at the make and model, whether the car is complete, whether you have the keys and the V5C, and the collection location. The guide on how scrap car prices work explains it properly, and each service has a cost page in our costs section.
The price holds as long as the car is complete and as described. If something is different on the day, we explain before loading and you are free to say no.
Bank transfer, because cash is illegal
We pay instantly by bank transfer at collection. Since the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, it has been illegal to pay cash for scrap metal, including scrap cars. Anyone still offering cash for a scrap car is breaking the law.

Licensed disposal
We hold a waste carrier licence and a scrap metal collector's licence. Your car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and notifies the DVLA. Full months of tax left are refunded to you automatically.
Keeping a private plate
If the car carries a personalised number plate you want to keep, transfer or retain it with the DVLA before we collect. Once the car has been scrapped, the plate cannot be recovered. It is worth sorting first, then booking the collection.
Villages next door
We also buy scrap cars in Stoke Albany, East Carlton, Cottingham and Rushton.
