Free to drive, and hemmed in by motorways
Walsall has no Clean Air Zone, and Birmingham's stops at the ring road several miles south, so an older car costs nothing extra here. What it does have is motorway on three sides: the M6 through the middle, the M6 Toll across the top and the M5 to the west. Add the short runs between Bloxwich, Aldridge and Brownhills that make up most local driving and you get cars doing modest mileage in a lot of gear changes. That is what finishes clutches. When the next repair bill is more than the car is worth as scrap, that is usually the moment to take a quote.
Did you know? The only toll motorway in Britain runs past Walsall The M6 Toll opened on 9 December 2003, 27 miles of six-lane motorway built to take traffic off the M6 through Birmingham and the Black Country. It cost around £900m and it is still the only major toll road in the country. Two curiosities: cars paid £2 to use it on the opening day and pay several times that now, and about two and a half million pulped books, a good many of them Mills and Boon, went into the road surface to help it absorb water. |

Scrapping a car in Walsall
Your car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, regulated by the Environment Agency, and you receive a Certificate of Destruction confirming it has been legally recycled. Cash payment for scrap vehicles is banned by law, so payment is made by bank transfer, typically the same day, and the DVLA is notified as standard. The whole sequence is covered in the five steps to scrapping a car, and how we compare with the rest explains the guarantee behind the price. The cash rule comes from the Scrap Metal Dealers Act.
