The canal-side streets around Cadder are narrow with parked cars both sides. We use the smaller spec-lift truck there, so a tight street is not a reason we will cancel on you. ## How we get there Bishopbriggs, Lenzie and Kirkintilloch are grouped into one East Dunbartonshire run, which lets us offer a firm morning or afternoon slot rather than an all-day window. ## What we collect in Bishopbriggs Commuter households here often keep an ageing second car for the school run until it fails an MOT. Canal-side and older streets can be tight, so access rather than condition is usually the thing we need to plan around. Typical collection situations: - Narrow canal-side streets with parking both sides - Semi-detached driveways - Lenzie station-area parking - Kirkintilloch town centre bays ## Bishopbriggs questions ### Do you cover Torrance, Lenzie and Kirkintilloch? Yes, along with Auchinairn, Robroyston and the wider G64 district. ### How quickly can you collect in Bishopbriggs? Bishopbriggs is minutes off our Glasgow route, so collection is normally the next working day. ### The car is in a residents' bay on a cul-de-sac - can you get the truck in? Yes, though tight turning heads sometimes mean a shorter recovery unit. Tell us the street and we will match the vehicle to the access. ### Will you take a car that has not moved since it failed its MOT? Yes. Non-runners are winched on, and there is no deduction for the car not starting or being roadworthy. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Bishopbriggs for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Bishopbriggs and the surrounding Greater Glasgow 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 Bishopbriggs? Bishopbriggs is about 55 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 Bishopbriggs? 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 Bishopbriggs? 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 Bishopbriggs 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 Bishopbriggs 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 Bishopbriggs, 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 Bishopbriggs, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Bishopbriggs? 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 Bishopbriggs 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 Bishopbriggs. ## 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.
