Source page: https://scrapacarscotland.com/scrap-your-car-in-inverness Publisher: Scrap A Car Scotland (https://scrapacarscotland.com) ## Coverage - Region: Highlands - Postcode districts: IV1, IV2, IV3 - Areas and suburbs covered: Culloden, Nairn, Beauly, Muir of Ord, Dingwall - Distance from depot: about 145 miles - Typical collection: on scheduled Highland runs, usually within a week ## Scrapping a car in Inverness We reach Inverness and the Highlands on planned collection runs. Booking a few days ahead gets you a firm date and a price that is not eaten up by haulage. For Highland addresses it is worth grouping vehicles. If a neighbour or family member also has a car to scrap, tell us - two on one run means we can pay more for both. ## How we get there Inverness is served on planned Highland runs up the A9, usually combined with Moray and Perthshire work. Scheduling rather than ad hoc trips is the only honest way to pay a fair price 150 miles from the yard. ## What we collect in Inverness Highland vehicles work hard. We see high-mileage 4x4s, pickups and estate cars with salt and grit damage from winter roads, plus a fair number of vehicles left behind after a house move south. Typical collection situations: - Rural crofts and properties on unsealed tracks - Town centre flats with shared bays - Trade yards and estate depots - Properties around Nairn and the Black Isle ## Inverness questions ### Do you really collect as far north as Inverness? Yes, on planned Highland routes rather than one-off trips. That is how we keep collection free at that distance, and it means the date is scheduled rather than immediate - normally within three to five days. ### Can you collect from outside Inverness itself, out towards Nairn or Beauly? Yes. The Highland run covers Nairn, Beauly, Muir of Ord, Dingwall and the surrounding villages as well as the IV1 to IV3 city districts. ### The car is up a rough track on a croft - will your truck manage? Tell us when you book and we will send a 4x4-capable recovery unit. Field, track and steading collections are normal Highland work for us. ### Does the distance come out of my quote? No. Because Inverness is serviced on a scheduled multi-vehicle run rather than a dedicated 300-mile round trip, the transport cost is spread and your quote is not reduced for being far north. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Inverness for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Inverness and the surrounding Highlands 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 Inverness? Inverness is about 145 miles from our licensed yard at Thornton in Fife, and collection is on scheduled Highland runs, usually within a week once you accept the quote. ### Will you buy a non-runner or MOT failure in Inverness? 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 Inverness? 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 Inverness 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 Inverness 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 Inverness, 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 Inverness, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Inverness? 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 Inverness 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 Inverness. ## 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.
