Agricultural Angus means pickups, 4x4s and farm hacks as often as family cars. Non-runners sitting in a shed or a field for years are normal collections for us, not awkward ones. ## How we get there Angus is served on scheduled north runs that already take in Dundee and Arbroath. Batching Forfar, Kirriemuir and Brechin onto one route is the only way to pay a fair price this far up without a distance deduction. ## What we collect in Forfar Farming and estate work dominates. We take a lot of pickups, older 4x4s and farm runabouts that have never seen a tarmac driveway, plus non-runners that have sat in a shed since the last MOT lapsed. Typical collection situations: - Farm steadings and open field access - Barns and sheds needing a winch pull - Village main streets in Kirriemuir and Letham - Long rough tracks up the glens ## Forfar questions ### Is Angus too far for you to pay a decent price? No, because we batch it. Forfar, Kirriemuir and Brechin are collected on scheduled north runs alongside Dundee and Arbroath, so no distance deduction lands on your quote. ### Can you pull a car out of a shed or barn? Yes. Winching a long-stood vehicle out of a building is routine. Tell us the door width and what is around it and the driver will plan for it. ### Do you buy farm pickups and old 4x4s? Yes, and they usually pay better than a car because of the extra recoverable weight. ### How long is the wait for a Forfar collection? Typically two to four working days, depending on when the next Angus run is scheduled. We will give you an honest window on the call. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Forfar for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Forfar and the surrounding Tayside 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 Forfar? Forfar is about 48 miles from our licensed yard at Thornton in Fife, and collection is on scheduled Angus runs, usually within 2 to 4 days once you accept the quote. ### Will you buy a non-runner or MOT failure in Forfar? 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 Forfar? 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 Forfar 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 Forfar 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 Forfar, 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 Forfar, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Forfar? 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 Forfar 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 Forfar. ## 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.
