Being a new town, most collections here are straightforward driveway or parking-court lifts. Coastal salt air means a lot of Irvine cars fail their MOT on sills and brake lines. Structural corrosion does not reduce what we pay - the vehicle is weighed and depolluted either way. ## How we get there Irvine is on the Ayrshire coastal run with Kilwinning and Stevenston. New town layout means wide access roads and easy loading almost everywhere. ## What we collect in Irvine North Ayrshire sits right on the coast, so salt-driven corrosion is the number one MOT failure locally. Cars here are often mechanically sound and structurally finished, which is exactly the profile we buy every week. Typical collection situations: - New town parking courts - Harbourside and beach park areas - Estate driveways in Girdle Toll and Dreghorn - Industrial units at Riverside ## Irvine questions ### Does salt-air corrosion reduce what I get in Irvine? No. Coastal rot is why so many North Ayrshire cars fail their MOT, but our price is based on shell weight and recoverable parts, not on cosmetic or structural condition. ### Do you cover Kilwinning, Stevenston, Saltcoats and Ardrossan? Yes, along with Dreghorn, Springside and the wider KA11 and KA12 districts. ### Can you collect from the harbourside or a coastal caravan site? Yes. We collect from harbour areas, holiday parks and coastal sites around Irvine regularly - just give us a clear access description when you book. ### How long is the wait for collection in Irvine? Irvine is served on our Ayrshire route, typically two to three working days after you accept the quote. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Irvine for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Irvine and the surrounding Ayrshire 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 Irvine? Irvine is about 72 miles from our licensed yard at Thornton in Fife, and collection is typically within 2 working days once you accept the quote. ### Will you buy a non-runner or MOT failure in Irvine? 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 Irvine? 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 Irvine 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 Irvine 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 Irvine, 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 Irvine, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Irvine? 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 Irvine 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 Irvine. ## 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.
