Thinking of using this company to collect a dead car.
Their website says "You'll need to hand over any documents you have for the scrap car such as the registration document (V5C/logbook)...."
Can anyone who has had their car collected by them confirm (or not) that they will sign & give me section 9 (yellow slip) of the V5C before taking the car.
Thanks for reading

Yes (well they did with me) and they emailed the destruction cert within a couple of days. Was impressed how smoothly it went actually!0

They did for me too, but I *think* if they give you a certificate of destruction there is no need to do anything with the V5C.0

How does this work?? Free car, free collection, every one happy type of thing?0

What? They buy scrap cars for cash, that's all.0
