Up on the ridge, down in the valley
Bolsover town is on a ridge with steep approaches up from the A632, terraces and semis around the castle and the market place; New Bolsover is the model village of terraces below; Carr Vale is estates along the valley. Whaley, Scarcliffe and the lanes towards Shirebrook are drives and farm tracks. Every one of those addresses gets the same free collection.
Hills and brakes
A car on one of the ridge streets with seized brakes is a normal job when we know in advance — say so when you book and the driver brings the winch and the kit for the slope. There is no charge for it, only the small non-runner adjustment shown on your quote before you accept.
The Clowne run
Bolsover goes out with Clowne, Shirebrook and Staveley, so a lorry is on this side every couple of days. When you book, pick a day; we phone to confirm it and say whether to expect the lorry in the morning or the afternoon. The driver checks the registered keeper's ID, loads the car, and the bank transfer follows once the car has been checked in at our yard: same day if we collect before 3pm, next working day if later.
Done at our own ATF
It is our own Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough that depollutes and recycles the car, our own DVLA login that issues the Certificate of Destruction, and us who tell the DVLA you are no longer the keeper. A failed MOT, a car that will not start, a write-off or a missing V5C changes the price, not whether we come.
Questions people in Bolsover ask us
- Can you collect from the steep streets in Bolsover?
- Yes. Tell us the car is on a hill and whether it rolls, and the driver brings the winch and the right lorry; it does not change the price.
- How soon can you collect?
- Usually within two working days, grouped with Clowne, Shirebrook and Staveley.
- Do you cover New Bolsover, Carr Vale and Whaley?
- Yes — all of S44, including Scarcliffe and the lanes towards Shirebrook, at the same free collection.
- How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Bolsover?
- Bolsover is 18 miles from our yard in Mexborough. You tell us the day that suits you when you book, and we ring to confirm the day and a morning or afternoon slot.
- Is collection in Bolsover really free?
- Yes. There is no collection charge anywhere in Bolsover (S44) and no deduction on the day. The figure on your quote is the figure paid into your bank.
- Do I need the V5C logbook?
- It helps, but you can still scrap the car without it. We check your photo ID and proof of address instead, and as an Authorised Treatment Facility we issue the Certificate of Destruction and tell the DVLA that you are no longer the keeper.
- Can I get cash for my scrap car?
- No — paying cash for scrap vehicles has been illegal in England and Wales since 2013. We pay by bank transfer to the registered keeper once the car is checked in at our yard — the same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that.
