Scrap my car — your questions answered
How much is my scrap car worth?
We pay £80 per tonne based on your car's kerb weight — a typical small hatchback (around 1 tonne) is roughly £80, a family car (around 1.4 tonnes) is roughly £112, and a large SUV or van can be £160+. Use the instant online valuation for an exact figure.

Reeds Sales & Transport collects scrap cars across Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, South Shields, Washington, North Shields and the wider Tyne & Wear area, plus Durham, Consett, Teesside and Northumberland. Free scrap car collection, DVLA notified, paid on the day.
Do you do scrap car collection in Sunderland, Durham and Gateshead?
Yes — free scrap car collection in Sunderland, Durham, Gateshead, Washington, Chester-le-Street and surrounding North East postcodes. Same-day or next-day pickup in most cases.
Do I need a V5C logbook to scrap my car?
It helps but it isn't essential. We can still collect and scrap without the V5C — we'll take extra proof of ownership and notify the DVLA on your behalf so the car is officially off the road.
How quickly can you collect and pay?
Most North East collections happen same day or next day. You get paid on the day of collection by cash or bank transfer — no waiting, no cheques in the post.
Do you take non-runners, MOT failures and accident damaged cars?
Yes — non-runners, MOT failures, accident damage, engine or gearbox failures and insurance write-offs are all fine. The valuation is based on weight, not condition.
