Dockyard and MOD shift patterns mean a lot of second cars sit unused for months here. We are happy to deal with an owner who is away on rotation as long as the V5C details and payment account match. ## How we get there Rosyth and Inverkeithing sit right at the Fife end of the Queensferry Crossing, on the road we take to every Edinburgh and Lothians job. Passing traffic means flexible timing and a strong price for a short leg. ## What we collect in Rosyth Dockyard rotations and service postings leave second vehicles standing for months at a time. Flat batteries, seized brakes and expired MOTs are the norm here, and none of that changes what we pay. Typical collection situations: - Naval housing estates with allocated bays - Ferry terminal and dockyard perimeter roads - Modern estates with narrow shared drives - Long-standing non-runners on hardstanding ## Rosyth questions ### I am away on rotation. Can someone else hand the car over? Yes, as long as you are the registered keeper, you have agreed the quote, and the bank details for payment match. The person present just needs to be able to release the vehicle. ### The car has not moved in months and the battery is flat. That is routine here. We winch rather than drive, so a flat battery, seized brakes or four flat tyres make no difference to the collection or the price. ### Do you cover Inverkeithing and North Queensferry? Yes, along with Dalgety Bay, Limekilns and Charlestown. All of it sits on our Edinburgh route, so collection is usually next working day. ### Can you collect from an allocated bay in naval housing? Yes. Let us know if there is a barrier, permit or site office involved and the driver will arrange access before arriving. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Rosyth for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Rosyth 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 Rosyth? Rosyth is about 19 miles from our licensed yard at Thornton in Fife, and collection is usually next working day once you accept the quote. ### Will you buy a non-runner or MOT failure in Rosyth? 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 Rosyth? 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 Rosyth 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 Rosyth 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 Rosyth, 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 Rosyth, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Rosyth? 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 Rosyth 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 Rosyth. ## 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.
