Garage & MOT centre scrap collection in Hampshire
Running a garage or MOT centre in Hampshire and stuck with cars nobody is coming back for? We clear them free, usually the same working day. You get trade rates on multi-vehicle jobs, a VAT purchase invoice for your books, same-day DVLA notification and a Certificate of Destruction for every vehicle we take.
- Same-day clearance on trade jobs booked before 2pm
- Ramp, yard, compound and on-street collections
- Multi-vehicle trade rates — more cars, better price each
- VAT purchase invoices issued for your accounts
- DVLA notified same day, CoD within 48 hours
- Standing weekly or fortnightly slots available
Why workshops end up storing dead cars
Every independent garage in Hampshire has the same problem: an MOT failure the customer never collects, a head-gasket job that stops being economical halfway through, or a part-exchange that will never sell. Each one occupies a bay or a parking space that should be earning.
We deal with that specific problem. One phone call with the reg, and the car is off your site — no haggling on the day, no last-minute price drops, no waiting a week for the money.
Trade collection vs a general scrap booking
| Standard booking | Trade account | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Per vehicle | Rate card + multi-vehicle uplift |
| Booking | Form or phone call | Send a reg list by phone |
| Paperwork | Receipt + CoD | VAT invoice + CoD per vehicle |
| Frequency | One-off | Standing weekly / fortnightly slot |
| Payment | On collection | Bank transfer, consolidated if preferred |
If you clear more than a couple of vehicles a month, the trade account is worth setting up — it removes the quoting round-trip entirely.
Abandoned customer vehicles — getting it right
A car left on your premises isn't automatically yours to dispose of. Before we collect an abandoned job we ask you to show the steps you've taken: written notice to the registered keeper at their V5C address, a clear deadline, and a reasonable period elapsed. Keep copies of everything.
Once that's in order, we buy the vehicle from you as the disposing party, notify DVLA, and the Certificate of Destruction closes the file. If you're unsure where you stand, call us before you commit to anything — we'd rather advise than unpick it later.
Covering the whole county
We collect from workshops in Southampton, Portsmouth, Fareham, Havant, Eastleigh, Winchester, Basingstoke, Andover, Aldershot, Farnborough, Fleet, Hook, Yateley and every industrial estate in between — plus the Isle of Wight.
Body shops and accident repair centres have their own version of this problem; there's a dedicated page for that below.
