At K.R Autos, we take the hassle out of scrapping your old car. If your car has been in an accident, failed an MOT test or has simply reached the end of its useful life, we can give you a great deal. Selling your car parts yourself can be quite tedious, so why not get in touch with our team? We will take the hassle out of the job for you, and get you a great deal for your unwanted wheels. When you bring in your car, all payments are made on the day of collection. Our staff will then inspect your vehicle to ensure the condition of your car matches with the details provided to us.
You will receive your payment either by BACS or a business cheque as it is illegal to make payments by cash. Scrap metal dealers must have a named cheque or printed receipt of the transaction, along with a record of the person who made the transaction. Without proof, the transaction will be rendered as incomplete and considered an offence under section two of the Scrap Metal Dealers Act (SMDA). This regulation was bought into effect to combat scrap metal theft and rogue traders. Hence paying for scrap vehicles in cash has been illegal in the UK since the 1st of October 2013. The price paid for your vehicle is dependent on a number of factors such as the condition of interior and exterior of the car, condition of the engine and additional accessories like alloy wheels.
