Scrap car collection in Reading
Scrapping a car in Reading takes a few minutes: your registration and postcode start the quote, and if you accept we collect the car for free and handle the paperwork.
Reading is a town in the South East. If the car is not at your home address, use the postcode where it is parked (for example a RG1, RG2, RG4 postcode), so we can pass your quote to the buyer who covers that location.

A commuter town with a lot of second cars
Reading sits on the M4 between London and the west, and many households here run two cars: one for the commute to the station or the motorway, and an older runabout. When the runabout fails its MOT, it rarely makes sense to throw money at it. That is the car we usually get asked about in Reading.
Enter its registration and the postcode where it is parked. The buyer who covers the RG postcodes prices it and contacts you, and if you accept, collection is free.
Either side of the Thames
The river splits the town. Caversham and Emmer Green sit north of the Thames; the centre, Tilehurst, Southcote and Whitley are to the south, with Earley and Woodley to the east in Wokingham borough. Crossings at Caversham Bridge and Reading Bridge get busy at peak times, so let us know which side the car is on when you book.
The M4 junctions 10, 11 and 12 and the A33 relief road bring our collectors in from every direction. Terraced streets around Katesgrove and the Oxford Road can be tight, so if the car is boxed in or on a permit-only street, say so and we plan the pick-up accordingly.
The paperwork, done properly
Reading Borough Council handles abandoned and untaxed vehicle reports, but if the car is yours, scrapping it properly is quicker than waiting for a removal notice. The car goes to an Authorised Treatment Facility, you get a Certificate of Destruction, and DVLA refunds any full months of road tax left.
