Services Defined

There are many laws applicable by UK government for scrap car. If you are getting paid for your scrap cars then keep in mind that DVLA paperwork is completed. Ask yards of car salvage about their license number. This is one good way of checking that they are properly registered with government or not.

When sending your car for scrap to any car salvage you must remove all your personal contents and especially the tax discs which you want to claim back later on. Another very important thing is to inform DVLA about your action. If you don’t do that they have right to charge you with fine. If you are not given the document which you need to send to DVLA then you must inform them about this situation too.

You must also make sure that the way they will use to scrap your car is not harmful. For that also Government has given certificates to companies who are adopting the legal way. So before choosing any firm you must see that they have ATF which is Authorized Treatment Facility. This makes sure that no harmful fluids will be used in disposing off your car.

Also check for COD which is Certificate Of Destruction. This certificate makes any firm liable to destroy the stuff and they have proper check on them by the law and government. Also you must see that you car will be disposed off according to End of Life Vehicles Regulations which were made in 2003.
