Scrap Process

Diesel scrap car UK inspects all vehicles on receipt and identification checks are made before they are assessed using our traffic light system (TLA). The battery, wheels and any hazardous parts are removed for reuse, recycling or disposal should the vehicle fall into our Red or Amber category. Watch the demo video to see how the process takes place.

Scrap Process - How it works

1. You submit your vehicle using the form at the top of our website
2. You will be given the choice to accept quote, if accepted you are now contractually passing ownership of the vehicle to Patermeus Ltd
3. You will receive an automated email with a reference number
4. We will now match your postal code with a driver in our system
5. The job/vehicle is then allocated to the driver via a data terminal which includes an email and text to prompt the driver to login to our system and view the details
6. Our driver will then call you to arrange a convenient date and time to collect vehicle
7. Once our driver arrives you must confirm your reference number with drivers paperwork to ensure our legitimate company or approved agent is collecting the vehicle
8. You must keep V5C/3 (yellow part) and satisfy yourself that section 9 is correctly completed and signed by you and our driver and that you have a receipt from the driver dated and signed. Please ensure all relevant vehicle keys, handbooks and history are given to the driver
9. Your vehicle will then be transferred to our storage depot for our Traffic Light Assessment (TLA)
10. You must send section 9 V5C/3 (yellow part) recorded post ASAP to DVLA, Swansea SA99 1BD
11. You will then receive a letter direct from DVLA usually within 2-6 weeks confirming you are no longer responsible for the vehicle as of the date recorded on the V5C/3 section 9
