What are scrap car prices in Northampton?

The good news is that scrap car prices are directly linked to the weight of your car. Got something bigger than a car? We can price and scrap your van too. And those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards in Northampton and the wider Northamptonshire county offer competitive prices for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we’ll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.

How is salvaging different from scrapping?

Salvage vehicles are stripped for parts rather than confined straight to the scrap yard. Salvaging often produces a better price for your car or van than a scrap vehicle. All you need to do is provide us with a few more details about its condition. Find out how to salvage your car here.

What will happen to my scrap car?

If your car is sold as scrap, then it will be dismantled and recycled in line with national regulations. All of the components and parts will be stripped and processed before being recycled in a manner of ways. We’ve explained this in further details so you can find out more about car recycling.

How do I get the best price for my car?

Many older or written-off cars aren’t destined for the scrap heap. Some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Ensure you describe the car’s condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees—our quotes always include free collection.

But the single most important factor to getting the very best price for your scrap car is to speak directly with one of our advisors! After you accept a quote online, we'll give you a call to confirm details and schedule collection. Use this call to share any info that might boost your offer and get the highest payout possible.

Are you prices really guaranteed?

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 result in lower offers.
