What to Remove Before Scrapping Your Car in South Ayrshire

Before your car is collected in South Ayrshire, remove personal belongings and anything you are legally entitled to keep. Do not remove parts that were included in the quote unless you tell the buyer first.

Remove personal items first

Check the glovebox, centre console, boot, under seats, door pockets, and any storage trays. Old parking permits, receipts, insurance documents, and service paperwork often get left behind.

Clear personal data

Remove phones, dash cams, sat navs, memory cards, Bluetooth pairings, garage remotes, and anything that stores personal data.

Be careful with valuable parts

If the quote assumes the catalytic converter, alloy wheels, battery, stereo, or spare wheel are present, removing them can change the final price. Tell the buyer before collection if anything has been taken off.

What usually should stay with the car
