Source page: https://scrapacarscotland.com/scrap-your-car-in-perth Publisher: Scrap A Car Scotland (https://scrapacarscotland.com) ## Coverage - Region: Tayside - Postcode districts: PH1, PH2 - Areas and suburbs covered: Scone, Bridge of Earn, Almondbank, Methven, Luncarty - Distance from depot: about 28 miles - Typical collection: usually within 1 to 2 working days ## Scrapping a car in Perth Perth sits on the main route north from our yard, so it is an easy run for us and a fast turnaround for you. We collect across the city and the surrounding Perthshire villages. Rural Perthshire addresses are fine. Farm tracks and single-track approaches just need flagging up front so we bring the right vehicle rather than a full-length transporter. ## How we get there Perth sits on the A912/M90 corridor about 30 miles from the yard, and it is a natural staging point for our Highland and Tayside work, so there are trucks passing regularly rather than making a special trip. ## What we collect in Perth Perthshire brings us a lot of rural vehicles - 4x4s, pickups and estate cars that have done serious mileage on farm and forestry tracks. Underbody damage and worn drivetrains are typical, and neither affects what we pay. Typical collection situations: - Farm steadings and estate yards - Rural properties down single-track access - Town centre terraced streets - Riverside flats with communal parking ## Perth questions ### Do you collect from rural properties outside Perth? Yes. Farm steadings, estate yards and vehicles sitting in fields around Perthshire are routine work for us. Say so when booking and we will send the 4x4-capable recovery unit. ### How far is Perth from your facility? Perth is a straightforward run north from Thornton up the M90, which keeps our cost down and normally means collection within a couple of working days. ### Will you buy a 4x4 or pickup in Perth? Yes, and these usually price well. Heavier shells and larger catalysts mean farm 4x4s and pickups tend to produce the strongest quotes we give in Perthshire. ### Do you cover Scone, Bridge of Earn and Methven? Yes, along with Almondbank, Luncarty, Perth city itself and the wider PH1 and PH2 districts. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Perth for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Perth and the surrounding Tayside 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 Perth? Perth is about 28 miles from our licensed yard at Thornton in Fife, and collection is usually within 1 to 2 working days once you accept the quote. ### Will you buy a non-runner or MOT failure in Perth? 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 Perth? 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 Perth 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 Perth 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 Perth, 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 Perth, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Perth? 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 Perth 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 Perth. ## 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.
