Source page: https://scrapacarscotland.com/scrap-your-car-in-stirling Publisher: Scrap A Car Scotland (https://scrapacarscotland.com) ## Coverage - Region: Central - Postcode districts: FK7, FK8, FK9 - Areas and suburbs covered: Bannockburn, Bridge of Allan, Causewayhead, Cambusbarron, Dunblane - Distance from depot: about 35 miles - Typical collection: usually within 1 to 2 working days ## Scrapping a car in Stirling Stirling and the surrounding Forth Valley towns are on a regular route for us. The city sits between our Fife base and the west, so we can often add your car to a run already going past. Student cars around the university are a steady part of our Stirling work. If the registered keeper has already left the country, we can still buy the vehicle provided the paperwork trail is in order - ask us and we will talk you through it. ## How we get there Stirling is around 35 miles from Thornton over the Kincardine Bridge, on the same route as our Alloa and Falkirk collections. It is a fast, cheap run for us and one of the areas where we can be most flexible on timing. ## What we collect in Stirling University turnover and a large commuter population mean a steady flow of small, older hatchbacks reaching end of life. We also collect from the outlying villages towards Callander and Doune, where rural mileage and salted winter roads take their toll. Typical collection situations: - Student flats with shared parking - Old town streets with limited access - Village properties towards the Trossachs - Retail and business park units ## Stirling questions ### Can you collect from the old town where the streets are steep and narrow? Yes, with planning. Stirling's historic centre has gradients and tight wynds that rule out a long transporter, so we schedule a smaller unit and agree a loading point at the bottom of the hill if needed. ### Do you cover Bridge of Allan, Dunblane and Bannockburn? Yes. The whole FK7 to FK9 spread including Bridge of Allan, Dunblane, Bannockburn, Causewayhead and Cambusbarron is inside our free collection area. ### I am a Stirling University student - can you pay me if the car is in my name? Yes. Payment goes by bank transfer to the registered keeper shown on the V5C, so as long as the car and the account are yours it is straightforward. Bring photo ID that matches. ### How long does collection take from Stirling? Stirling is well inside our regular central belt routes, so collection is usually within one to two working days of accepting the quote. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Stirling for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Stirling and the surrounding Central 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 Stirling? Stirling is about 35 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 Stirling? 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 Stirling? 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 Stirling 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 Stirling 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 Stirling, 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 Stirling, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Stirling? 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 Stirling 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 Stirling. ## 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.
