Industrial estate and refinery-area collections need site access details in advance. If the vehicle is inside a controlled yard, give us the gate and contact when you book so the driver is not turned away. ## How we get there Grangemouth is reached over the Kincardine Bridge in under forty minutes and shares a run with Falkirk and Bo'ness. No overnight staging, no subcontractor, so nothing is skimmed off the price. ## What we collect in Grangemouth Heavy industry locally means a steady stream of ex-fleet vans and pickups alongside domestic cars. Commercials are weighed and valued the same way, and signwriting or livery is no obstacle. Typical collection situations: - Refinery and industrial estate yards with gate access - Terraced streets with rear service lanes - Fleet parking compounds - Residential estates with allocated bays ## Grangemouth questions ### Can you collect from inside an industrial site? Yes, but we need the gate location and a site contact in advance. Refinery and estate security will not let a driver in unannounced, so give us the details when you book. ### Do you buy ex-fleet vans as well as cars? Yes. Vans and pickups are weighed and valued the same way, and we can handle several at once if a business is clearing a fleet. ### Do you cover Bo'ness and Polmont? Yes, both are on the same Falkirk-area run, usually next working day. ### Does signwriting on the van need removing first? No. We can collect as-is, though many businesses prefer to strip livery for their own reasons before handover. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Grangemouth for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Grangemouth 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 Grangemouth? Grangemouth is about 27 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 Grangemouth? 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 Grangemouth? 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 Grangemouth 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 Grangemouth 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 Grangemouth, 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 Grangemouth, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Grangemouth? 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 Grangemouth 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 Grangemouth. ## 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.
