Farm steadings, coastal cottages and long private drives are normal here. Soft ground and field access are fine with notice; we send the 4x4-capable recovery unit rather than a low-slung transporter. ## How we get there East Lothian is run as one planned route out through Tranent and Haddington to Dunbar and North Berwick. Batching the county lets us serve small coastal and rural addresses that others quietly decline. ## What we collect in Haddington Agricultural and coastal use dominates: pickups, 4x4s and estate cars that have carried feed, boats and dogs for a decade. Sea air and farm tracks between them finish the underside long before the engine. Typical collection situations: - Farm steadings and field gateways - Coastal cottages with no off-street parking - Long unmade private drives - Harbour and golf club car parks ## Haddington questions ### Do you actually come out to Dunbar and North Berwick? Yes. East Lothian is run as one planned route rather than cherry-picked addresses, which is why we can serve the coastal and rural end of the county at the same price. ### Can you get into a field or farm steading? Yes. Field gateways and steadings are routine here. Flag soft ground when you book so we send the right unit and pick a suitable day. ### Is there a charge for a rural East Lothian address? No. Collection is free whether you are on Haddington High Street or up a mile of unmade track. ### Salt air has wrecked the underside of my car. Still worth quoting? Definitely. Coastal corrosion finishes far more East Lothian cars than mechanical failure does, and it makes no difference to what we pay. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Haddington for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Haddington and the surrounding Lothians 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 Haddington? Haddington is about 45 miles from our licensed yard at Thornton in Fife, and collection is usually within 2 to 3 working days once you accept the quote. ### Will you buy a non-runner or MOT failure in Haddington? 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 Haddington? 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 Haddington 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 Haddington 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 Haddington, 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 Haddington, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Haddington? 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 Haddington 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 Haddington. ## 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.
