Every postcode, S1 to S36
Sheffield is the biggest patch we work and we are in the city every working day, so most Sheffield cars are collected the same day or the next day: book in the morning and it is often gone by the afternoon. The north — Parson Cross, Southey, Shiregreen, Firth Park and Page Hall in S5, Hillsborough, Walkley and Stannington in S6, Chapeltown, Ecclesfield and High Green in S35 — comes off the M1 at junctions 34 to 36. The east — Attercliffe, Darnall and Tinsley in S9, Handsworth and Woodhouse in S13 — is a straight run in on the Parkway. South and west we cover Heeley, Meersbrook and Woodseats in S7 and S8, Gleadless, Intake and Hackenthorpe in S12 and S14, Mosborough, Beighton and Halfway in S20, and Crookes, Broomhill, Ecclesall, Dore and Totley in S10, S11 and S17. Stocksbridge in S36 is on our run through the Don valley.
A city of hills — we bring the right lorry
More Sheffield cars are collected at the kerb on a slope than anywhere else we go. Crookes, Walkley, Sharrow, Heeley, Pitsmoor, Meersbrook: terraces, permit streets, cars that have not moved since the MOT ran out. Tell us when you book whether the car is on the street, on a drive or in a garage, and whether the brakes are seized, and the driver comes with the winch kit and picks a time when the street is quiet. If there is a permit or a narrow back lane, say so — we have done every kind of Sheffield street.
Vans and the Clean Air Zone
Sheffield's Clean Air Zone charges older diesel vans, taxis, lorries and buses that do not meet the emissions standard to enter the city centre; private cars are not charged. It has pushed a lot of pre-2016 diesel vans our way from the trades around Attercliffe, Neepsend, Kelham and the Lower Don Valley. We collect vans up to 3.5 tonnes at the same free collection, weigh them properly, and can invoice a business if you need it for the books.
The price is the price
Because you are dealing with the yard — not a comparison site that sells your details to whoever is nearest — the figure on your quote is what we pay, by bank transfer once the car has been checked in at our yard: same day if we collect before 3pm, next working day if later. Condition affects the number, never whether we will take it: MOT failures, non-runners, write-offs, flood and accident damage, cars that have sat on a Sheffield drive for years. We are an Authorised Treatment Facility, so the Certificate of Destruction is issued from our own DVLA login and the keeper record is closed for you. No V5C? Photo ID and proof of address are all the law asks us to check.
Questions people in Sheffield ask us
- Can you collect my car in Sheffield today?
- Often, yes. We are in Sheffield every working day, so most cars are collected the same day or the next day, from any S postcode. Book online or ring us, and we confirm the time before the driver sets off.
- Can you collect a car with no keys in Sheffield?
- Yes. Tell us when you book that the keys are missing and the driver brings the winch kit to load it. You still need photo ID and proof of address as the registered keeper.
- Do you collect from permit-parking streets in Sheffield?
- Yes. Most of Crookes, Walkley, Broomhill, Sharrow and Heeley is permit or tight terraced parking and we collect there every week. Tell us where the car is and we time it for when the street is quiet; the driver does not need a permit to stop and load.
- Will you take my old diesel van because of the Sheffield Clean Air Zone?
- We will, and it is one of the most common jobs we do in Sheffield. Vans up to 3.5 tonnes are collected free from anywhere in the city; the quote comes from the registration like a car, and we can invoice your business if you need it.
- Can I bring the car to your yard from Sheffield?
- If it drives and is legal to be on the road, yes — we are in Mexborough, about 25 minutes up the Parkway and A630. Ring first so the paperwork is ready. The price is the same as a collection and you are paid by bank transfer while you wait.
- When could you collect from Sheffield?
- We are 10 miles away in Mexborough. If you need a specific day, say so when you book and we will do our best to fit it — we ring you to confirm.
- Is there a collection fee in Sheffield?
- No. Collection is free: the quote is the amount we pay and recovery is our cost across S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, S11, S12, S13, S14, S17, S20, S35, S36. The only time a figure changes is if the car turns out to be missing something you told us it had.
- Can you scrap it without the logbook?
- Yes. Photo ID and proof of address are what we are required to check; the V5C is a bonus. We are the Authorised Treatment Facility, so the Certificate of Destruction and the DVLA notification come from us either way.
- How do you pay?
- By bank transfer to the registered keeper, sent once the car has been checked in at our yard: the same day if we collect before 3pm, the next working day if later. Cash is not an option — it has been illegal for scrap vehicles since 2013.
