Scrap My Car
As an authorised treatment facility, J Wallis Metals operate to the End of Life Vehicles Regulations 2003.
We will process your log book, notify the DVLA and issue a certificate of destruction at the end. It is that simple.
Scrap cars can either be brought in by you or we offer a FREE collection service. Not only will we give you the best price for your scarp car, we handle all your paperwork for you giving you peace of mind that the job has been done correctly.
Process your car goes through
Once we have your scrap car in our yard we will remove the tyres, all fluids will be drained and the battery will be removed. Once we are happy that all pollutants have been removed from the vehicle it will be crushed and scrapped. This process can only be carried out by an authorised treatment facility (ATF) who have all the equipment to comply with the 2003 regulations.
