## Scrapping a car in Dunblane

Dunblane, Bridge of Allan and Doune are covered from the same run as Stirling, forty miles from the yard over the Kincardine Bridge and up the A9.

Plenty of vehicles here are second cars on gravel drives behind gates or hedging. Give us the access details and a rough turning space and the driver will arrive with the right unit first time.

## How we get there

Dunblane is served from the same route as Stirling, over the Kincardine Bridge and up the M9 and A9. One truck covers Bridge of Allan, Dunblane and Doune in a single outing.

## What we collect in Dunblane

Larger properties here mean second and third vehicles: an old estate for the dogs, a 4x4 for winter, a car left behind after a house move. Most are complete, taxed off-road and simply surplus.

Typical collection situations:

- Gated gravel driveways
- Village streets in Doune and Deanston
- University-area parking in Bridge of Allan
- Rural cottages up single track approaches

## Dunblane questions

### Can you collect from a gated gravel driveway?

Yes. Give us the gate width and whether there is room to turn, and the driver will bring the unit that fits rather than arriving and failing the lift.

### Do you cover Bridge of Allan, Doune and Callander?

Yes, all served from the same Stirling-area run.

### The car is SORN and has not been taxed for years. Is that an issue?

No. SORN vehicles are completely normal collections. We notify the DVLA and issue your Certificate of Destruction the same way.

### I have two old cars to clear at once. Can you take both?

Yes, and it is usually more efficient for us, which we can reflect in the combined price. Mention both when you request the quote.

### Do you collect scrap cars in Dunblane for free?

Yes. Collection anywhere in Dunblane 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 Dunblane?

Dunblane is about 40 miles from our licensed yard at Thornton in Fife, and collection is usually within 2 working days once you accept the quote.

### Will you buy a non-runner or MOT failure in Dunblane?

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 Dunblane?

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 Dunblane 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 Dunblane 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 Dunblane, 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 Dunblane, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay.

### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Dunblane?

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 Dunblane 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 Dunblane.
