Clear collection arrangements before we attend
The right collection plan depends on where the vehicle is parked. Manchester city-centre apartments, terraced streets and business premises can have limited loading space, while vehicles in Stockport, Bolton or the outer boroughs may be easier to reach with a full-size flatbed. Give us the exact postcode and tell us whether the car rolls and steers.
Our Greater Manchester coverage includes Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and Wigan. We can also arrange collection after a breakdown or accident when the vehicle has already been taken to a local garage, secure yard or service area.
The M60 orbital and the M56, M61 and M62 corridors connect many of the collection areas we serve. A car does not need to be left on a motorway for us to help, but route and junction details are useful if the vehicle has been recovered away from its registered address.
Local collection planning
We regularly plan access around the M60, M56, M61 and M62 when a scrap vehicle is held at a recovery yard or roadside location. For city-centre or apartment collections, let us know about resident parking, loading bays and time restrictions. We can confirm whether a smaller truck or an alternative meeting point is needed.

Scrap My Car in Manchester: Common Questions
Can you scrap my car in Manchester if it is parked on the street?
Usually, yes, provided the registered keeper has authority to release it and the collection can be completed safely and legally. Tell us the parking restrictions and whether the vehicle is in a marked bay, private road or permit area.
Do I need to drive the car to a scrapyard?
No. We collect the vehicle and transport it on a recovery vehicle. This is useful for cars with no MOT, no tax, a failed engine, seized brakes or damage that makes driving unsafe.
Can you collect scrap vans in Greater Manchester?
We collect many standard vans and light commercial vehicles. Larger or heavily loaded vehicles may need a separate quote because the truck, access and treatment route can be different.
