Our yard at Thornton is about five miles up the road, which means same-day collection is realistic if you call us in the morning, and it means we can pay at the very top of our range. Being this local, we can also handle awkward jobs other firms decline: cars stuck in garages, vehicles with no keys, and long-abandoned motors that need winching off a driveway. ## How we get there Kirkcaldy is effectively local to us - the yard is a few miles inland at Thornton. That means same-day collection is realistic here in a way it is not anywhere else in Scotland, and there is no distance deduction whatsoever in the price. ## What we collect in Kirkcaldy Being our home patch, we handle everything from single family cars to garage clear-outs and end-of-life fleet vehicles. Local garages send us cars their customers have decided not to repair after a failed MOT, and we buy those directly from the owner at the same rate as anyone else. Typical collection situations: - Driveways and street parking across the KY1 and KY2 area - Garage forecourts holding unrepaired MOT failures - Council estate parking courts - Farm and smallholding land ## Kirkcaldy questions ### You are local to Kirkcaldy - can you collect same day? Often yes. Kirkcaldy is a few minutes from our Thornton yard, so if you call early enough in the day there is a good chance we can lift the vehicle before we close. ### Can I drive the car to your Thornton yard instead? Yes, if it is road legal, taxed and insured. Bring the V5C and photo ID to Strathore Road, KY1 4DF, and we will process the paperwork and pay you by transfer while you are there. ### Do you pay more because I am close to the yard? Being local removes the transport cost from the calculation, and that saving stays in your quote rather than being absorbed. It is the main reason Fife prices are consistently among our best. ### Which Kirkcaldy areas do you cover? All of them, including Dysart, Sinclairtown, Templehall, Kinghorn, Burntisland and the KY1 and KY2 districts. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Kirkcaldy for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Kirkcaldy and the surrounding Fife 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 Kirkcaldy? Kirkcaldy is about 5 miles from our licensed yard at Thornton in Fife, and collection is often same day once you accept the quote. ### Will you buy a non-runner or MOT failure in Kirkcaldy? 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 Kirkcaldy? 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 Kirkcaldy 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 Kirkcaldy 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 Kirkcaldy, 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 Kirkcaldy, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Kirkcaldy? 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 Kirkcaldy 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 Kirkcaldy. ## 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.
