Why Swindon drivers scrap with us

Swindon doesn't currently operate a Clean Air Zone, so there's no charging scheme to factor into a decision here.

What does affect Swindon drivers is the town's famous Magic Roundabout and its dense ring-road network, both of which involve a lot of low-speed manoeuvring that adds wear to clutches and steering components over time.

Did you know?

Swindon built over a million Civics for nearly 30 years

Honda opened its Swindon plant in 1985 and built cars there for 36 years, investing more than £2.2 billion in the site at its peak and producing up to 230,000 cars a year, including the Accord, Civic and CR-V.

The factory closed in July 2021 as Honda restructured its global production, ending an era that had employed thousands of local people for a generation. Part of the site is now home to the Honda Heritage Garden, a public space opened in 2022 to commemorate Swindon's manufacturing history - a reminder that, much like the cars it once built, even a car factory eventually reaches the end of its road.

Top Customer FAQ’s

The most common methods of payment available are Bank Transfer and Cheque Payment. Bank Transfers are usually cleared within 24 hours from the time of collection. Cheque Payments are issued on collection but can take a few days to clear with your bank. it will depend on your local collections team as to which payment method they can offer.

In order to receive a tax refund you will need to inform DVLA that you have sold your vehicle. This can be done once the vehicle has been collected using the V5C (logbook) - section 9 or section 4 on the new logbooks issued in April 2019 (yellow section) which will be filled in on the day of collection by the driver, and handed back to you, you will need to send this to DVLA (we recommend recorded delivery). If you do not have the V5C, we advise you send a letter to DVLA using the address details of the collector to advise that you are no longer the registered keeper as of the day and time of the collection. For more information regarding the tax refund, please contact DVLA or visit https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-refund

We can normally collect without the V5C, if you add in the comments once you accept 'V5C missing' the collection company can confirm when they contact you. It is important that the registered keeper notifies DVLA in writing that the vehicle has been scrapped/sold using the details from the driver on the day of collection. If you need details of which collection team collected your vehicle feel free to contact us by phone or via our online chat facility.

The person present at the time of collection will have to provide Photo I.D and some form of address proof,recent Utility Bill/Bank statement, etc

The person present at the time of collection will need to provide us with their own Photo I.D, and proof of address (Utility Bill/Bank Statement etc, that is less than 3 months old), the keys and, if possible, the V5C (log book). We may also ask for spare keys and any other paper work, such as service receipts and old MOTs.

Due to the SMDA 2013 (scrap metal dealers act 2013) scrap metal dealers and car breakers can no longer pay for vehicles using CASH and also need by law a copy of the photo I.D and proof of address (recent Utility Bill/Bank statement, etc) of the person there at the time of the collection.

No, we do not sell parts at Remove My Car.
