FAQs

Can you collect a car that doesn't start?

Yes. Non-runners are one of the most common vehicles we collect in Cornwall. Whether your car won't start, won't move or has been stood for years, we'll recover it for free and pay you by instant bank transfer.

Do I need to get the car to you?

No. We come to you — home, driveway, garage, front lawn or workplace. There's no need to transport a non-runner yourself; our collection covers the whole of Cornwall.

Can you tow a non-runner with no MOT or no tax?

Yes. A non-runner with no MOT, no tax or no insurance is no problem — we collect it under our own recovery arrangements and notify the DVLA on your behalf.

How much is a non-runner worth as scrap?

Your payout is based on the vehicle's kerb weight and the current scrap metal price per tonne, with extra paid for alloy wheels and batteries. The fact the car doesn't run rarely affects the scrap value — enter your registration for an instant quote.

Can you collect a non-runner from a garage or driveway?

Yes. We collect non-runners from garages, MOT stations, driveways, fields and business premises across Cornwall. Just add a few notes about access when you book.

Will you buy a non-runner with missing parts?

Yes. We collect non-runners with missing wheels, engines, batteries or other parts — add condition notes when you book so we can give you an accurate first quote.
