Non-runner collection in Great Easton
Dead car removal is one of our most common jobs. If you need non-runner collection in Great Easton, we buy the car as it is and move it ourselves. You do not need to get it started, inflate the tyres or free the brakes. Check your instant price, and if you accept, we call to arrange a time.
Barns, garages and long-parked cars
In a rural village, cars often end up parked away rather than scrapped. A classic kept in a barn. A car pushed into a garage when it broke down. A runaround left at the back of a yard. In Great Easton, with its farms and old outbuildings, these cars can sit for years before anyone decides to move them.
Common problems we deal with:
- Batteries that have died completely.
- Engines that have seized or have major faults.
- Tyres that have gone flat and perished.
- Brakes seized on from standing.
- Cars with no keys or missing parts.
- Cars boxed in by other things in a garage or barn.
What equipment do you use?
Our collections are carried out with trucks from Rapid Recovery Corby, George's recovery company. George has been in vehicle recovery for over five years, which is why we can shift cars other buyers turn down.
| Problem | Our solution |
|---|---|
| Car will not roll | Winch it onto the truck bed |
| Flat tyres or seized wheels | Dollies and skates |
| Low garage or tight barn door | Van with dollies and skates |
| Two non-runners at once | A truck that carries one and tows one |
| Narrow lane access | The truck that suits the lane |
The valley lanes around Great Easton are narrow, and low roads can flood after heavy rain. Tell us about the access when we call and we will plan around it.
Is a car that won't start worth anything?
Yes, it usually is. A scrap car is priced mainly on weight and the current scrap metal price, so a complete non-runner can be worth about the same as a car that starts. What matters most is whether it is complete, with the engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels, plus the make and model, keys, V5C and location.
Our non-runner cost guide explains more. If the car is different to the description when we arrive, we explain before loading and you can say no.
Cars left after someone stops driving
Sometimes a non-runner is a car that belonged to a parent or grandparent who has stopped driving or passed away. It may have stood on the drive or in the garage for a long time while the family dealt with everything else. We understand that, and we keep the process practical and unhurried. One family member can get the price online, and we explain exactly what ID and paperwork the seller needs.
Before collection day
- Clear out personal items, including under the spare wheel.
- Find the keys, even if the car does not start.
- Clear a path to the car if you can, especially in a cluttered garage or barn.
- Sort any private plate with the DVLA before we arrive.
Paperwork and the law
We need photo ID and proof of address by law. Hand over the V5C if you have it. If it went missing years ago, you can still sell with proof of ownership. Our guide on scrapping a car without a logbook explains what you need.
We pay by bank transfer when we collect. We never pay cash, because it is illegal for scrap cars under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.
Every car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and notifies the DVLA. Full months of tax come back automatically. Cancel the insurance yourself. Once the car is scrapped, it no longer needs a SORN.

Questions people ask
Do you collect non-runners from Great Easton?
Yes. We buy cars that will not start or move and collect them free with our own recovery trucks.
Can you get a car out of a barn or garage?
Usually, yes. We have winches, dollies, skates and a van for low garages and tight spaces.
Is a non-runner worth less than a car that runs?
Not necessarily. Price is based mainly on weight, the scrap metal price and whether the car is complete.
What if I have lost the keys?
We can still look at buying it. Tell us when you get your price, as keys are one of the factors.
Can you take two non-runners at once?
Often, yes. Some of our trucks carry one car and tow a second.
How is payment made?
By bank transfer when we collect. Cash payments for scrap cars are illegal.
