We cover the whole of Clackmannanshire from the same run, so Tillicoultry, Alva and Dollar get the same next-day service as Alloa itself rather than being treated as outlying. ## How we get there Alloa is 24 miles from the yard over the Kincardine Bridge, one of our closest areas outside Fife. Low transport cost feeds straight into the price. ## What we collect in Alloa Clackmannanshire is compact enough that we cover the whole county on one run, so the Hillfoots villages get the same next-day service as Alloa town rather than being treated as outlying. Typical collection situations: - Town centre terraced streets - Hillfoots village properties - Estate driveways in Sauchie and Tullibody - Industrial estate units ## Alloa questions ### Do you cover Tillicoultry, Alva, Dollar and Sauchie? Yes. The whole Clackmannanshire FK10 to FK13 spread including the Hillfoots villages is inside our free collection area. ### How quickly can you get to Alloa? Alloa is a short run west from Thornton across the Kincardine and Clackmannanshire bridges, so collection is usually next working day. ### Can you collect from a Hillfoots village with narrow streets? Yes, with a smaller recovery unit. Tell us the village and street when you book so we do not send a full-length transporter into a lane it cannot turn in. ### Will you buy an old car that has sat in a garage for years? Yes. Garage-stored non-runners are common here - we winch them out, and there is no deduction for the car not starting. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Alloa for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Alloa and the surrounding Central area is free, and there is no admin charge deducted from your quote. The price we agree on the phone is the price you are paid. ### How quickly can you collect from Alloa? Alloa is about 24 miles from our licensed yard at Thornton in Fife, and collection is usually next working day once you accept the quote. ### Will you buy a non-runner or MOT failure in Alloa? Yes. We buy running and non-running vehicles, MOT failures, accident damage, insurance write-offs and long-term SORN cars. The vehicle does not need to start or move. ### When do I get paid? Same day, by bank transfer, on collection. We never pay cash - that has been illegal for scrap metal in Scotland since 2016, so any dealer offering cash for your car is not operating legally. ### What paperwork do I need in Alloa? Bring the V5C logbook and photo ID. We complete the DVLA notification and issue you a Certificate of Destruction from the Authorised Treatment Facility, so the vehicle is legally off your name. ### What if the car has no V5C logbook? We can still buy it. You need photo ID and proof of address matching the registered keeper, and we notify the DVLA on your behalf. Never sell to anyone in Alloa who says paperwork does not matter - if the vehicle is not properly notified it stays your legal responsibility. ### Can you collect if the car is off-road or has no keys? Yes. Our recovery units winch vehicles with flat tyres, seized brakes, dead batteries or no keys. Just tell us when you book so the right truck is sent to Alloa rather than a standard transporter. ### Does someone need to be there for the collection? Someone over 18 needs to be present to hand over the V5C and ID, but it does not have to be you. If you have already left Alloa, we can arrange it with a nominated person and still pay the registered keeper by transfer. ### Do you charge anything if I change my mind? No. There is no cancellation fee and no call-out charge. If your plans change before the truck leaves for Alloa, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Alloa? Yes. Once we notify the DVLA, any full remaining months of vehicle tax are refunded automatically to the registered keeper, and any direct debit is cancelled at the same time. ### Do you take vans and 4x4s in Alloa as well as cars? Yes. Cars, vans, pickups, 4x4s, light commercials, motorhomes, hybrids and electric vehicles are all collected on the same free basis across Alloa. ## About the publisher - Business: Scrap A Car Scotland (SCRAP A CAR SCOTLAND.COM LIMITED, company number SC535292) - Phone: 0330 123 0112 - Email: info@scrapacarscotland.com - Depot: Strathore Road, Thornton, Fife KY1 4DF - Opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 18:00 - Area served: Scotland - Licensing: SEPA licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) - Collection: Free, anywhere in Scotland.
