The ledger

What Carscrap does, and what it does not do

Carscrap is an information and referral service for Singapore car owners. It passes an enquiry to up to three disposal businesses only when asked.

What Carscrap does

The guides set out itemised net proceeds: PARF, COE rebate, body value and deductions on separate lines, plus the LTA evidence that shows disposal is complete.

Carscrap is an information and referral service. We are not a scrapyard, EPZ operator, exporter or motor dealer, and we do not handle payments, rebates or LTA submissions. Disposal businesses may pay us a fee for enquiries.

Who pays

How Carscrap is paid

The short answer

The owner pays nothing. A disposal business receiving an enquiry may pay Carscrap a fee, and each enquiry goes to at most three businesses. Fees never change a guide.

Under this referral model, recipients are described by type only, such as an LTA-appointed scrapyard, and no partner is named.

Where an enquiry goes

Sequence of events by disposal route Owner: Read guide (free, no sign-up), then Send form (up to 3 businesses), then Compare replies (line by line). Disposal business: Receives enquiry (may pay a fee), then Itemised reply (its own quotation), then Owner decides (no obligation). Owner 1 Read guide free, no sign-up 2 Send form up to 3 businesses 3 Compare replies line by line Disposal business 1 Receives enquiry may pay a fee 2 Itemised reply its own quotation 3 Owner decides no obligation
The owner decides; the business only replies.

Sourcing

Who writes and checks the guides

Guides are published as Carscrap Team: no named author or credentialed reviewer is on record.

Research, outlining and drafting may be AI-assisted; every published page is reviewed by an accountable person before it ships, and every rebate, deadline, fee or regulation figure is checked against a named primary source (LTA, SSO, MOT, Singapore Customs) with a fetched date.
