Services available in Hull
We provide get-rid-quick services for more than just scrap cars. Here’s a snapshot of how we can help you.
Scrap your car
Sending a car for scrap can be a difficult task – both practically and emotionally. Our team are hugely experienced, and we can guarantee we’ll get you the very best price in an instant.
Sell a damaged car
Selling a damaged car can be tedious, especially having to explain the issue multiple times to prospective buyers. We know the salty coastal air can cause rust prematurely in Hull, often lengthening how long it takes to sell a car privately, so ditch the time wasters and tell us your issues just the once and we’ll find you the very best price for your car.
Salvage your old vehicle
Did you know that regularly cars that customers assume are only good for scrap could actually be sold as salvage? This essentially means selling for spare parts, and could net you even more money. We'll show you both offers side by side so you can see which will pay more and make the decision for yourself.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
It’s more than cars that we can help you sell, and if your business’ workhorse has given up, we’re here to help. Whether it’s a van or something as large as a truck or bus, we can provide you the same quick service as we would with a hatchback.
How to Scrap Your Car in Hull
1. Get a Quote
With just a postcode and a vehicle registration, we can get you a scrap price instantly. While you can accept there and then, we strongly recommend speaking to our team. We’ll give you a call where you can give a few more details. After we've made the call to you, your quote is valid and locked in for 24 hours.
2. Give more details
When speaking to our team, here’s your chance to give more information on your vehicle’s condition. Here you can see whether you might get more by selling as salvage. From there, you can choose the offer that suits you best. Now is the best time to remove any personal items from your car before it is scrapped and gone forever. It's also your last chance to remove a personalised number plate, if you have one.
3. Arrange a collection
Having accepted your quote, we’ll put you in touch with one of our collectors. A free collection and removal is offered as standard. Your collector will ask to see photo ID and proof of address, as well as carry out a quick visual check to ensure the car is as you described. As soon as your car has been taken away, your money will be transferred directly to your bank account that same day. There are no cash offers in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

What are the scrap car prices in Hull?
All scrap car prices are governed by the weight of your car, as you’re effectively selling a large lump of scrap metal. As such, the ever-changing value of scrap metal will have a big influence on the price you’re offered for a scrap car. If you’re looking at something larger and need to scrap your van, we can absolutely facilitate that.
What’s the difference between scrap and salvage?
Salvaging a car is the process of breaking a vehicle down to be sold on as spares or repairs. Your broken old car will be taken apart to find the parts that are still useful. These will then be used to help out other ailing vehicles. As a result, your salvage offer could well be considerably higher than a scrap quote. Find out how to salvage your car.
What will happen to my scrap car?
All scrap cars are recycled in line with government legislation. The hazardous materials and fluids will be removed in a process called depollution, before the vast majority of your scrap vehicle will go back into the automotive manufacturing industry. It will be used to help build the next generation of vehicles. Once it’s been recycled, if requested, you’ll be issued a Certificate of Destruction, your proof the car has been taken off the road for good. Find out more about car recycling.
Can you scrap my specific make and model?
We like to think of ourselves as proper car nerds here, and there’s not many car makes and models that we haven’t seen. We’ve scrapped everything from diesel-guzzling trucks to the very latest in hybrid and electric technology. In the very rare occasion that you’ve got something that isn’t on our system then our specialist team will still get you a quote. Whatever your car, you’ll get the same level of service.
Can my damaged, broken, missing MOT car be scrapped?
No vehicle is too badly damaged for us. Your car might not be right for the roads, but that makes it perfect for our buyers. Whatever the condition, whether your car has no current MOT, is an insurance write off or is simply just a very badly damaged car, we’ll still get you a great price and a free collection. You don’t even need your V5C logbook to get started, though having it speeds things up.

Can I scrap my car in Hull?
Yes. We arrange collection anywhere in Hull and across the wider East Riding of Yorkshire through our network of scrap and salvage buyers, so wherever you’re based you can get a quote and book a free collection. Even non-runners are no problem, as long as our recovery truck can reach the car.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C logbook?
Yes. If your logbook is missing, we can usually still collect and scrap your car. You’ll normally need photo ID and proof of address to confirm ownership, and we’ll explain exactly what’s accepted before collection. It’s worth telling us when you get your quote so the collection can be arranged smoothly.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes. The DVLA automatically refunds any full remaining months of tax once you tell them the car has been scrapped. You don’t need to claim it separately, the refund goes to the registered keeper. Just make sure your name and address on the V5C are up to date.
Can I scrap my car if it still has outstanding finance?
Not until the finance is cleared. The car legally belongs to the finance company until the agreement is settled, so you’ll need to pay off the balance or get their consent first. Once that’s sorted you’re free to scrap it with us as normal.
Do I have to be there for the collection of my car?
While someone must be present for the collection, it does not need to be you if you are unavailable. You may nominate someone to represent you if necessary, providing that person is over the age of 18 with ID and proof of address. This is also the case if you are scrapping a car on behalf of someone else, such as an elderly relative or after a bereavement – although you must make this clear whilst getting a quote in this situation.
Can I scrap a SORN car?
Absolutely! In fact, scrapping a SORN car is often easier as you don’t need to worry about cancelling any tax or insurance once it’s gone. There is no need to retax your car before collection if it’s currently SORN – just let our team know so the collector can make the relevant preparations before they get there.
How do I get the best price for my car?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren't destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car's condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that's the price you'll be paid. Salvage quotes depend on the car's condition, not just its weight. Accurately describing the vehicle ensures the highest price and prevents later adjustments. Misrepresentation can occasionally result in lower offers, however our team will let you know and share why.
