Scrap car services in Nottingham
Here’s what we can do for you and your old car in Nottingham
Scrap your car
The simplest vehicle sale you'll ever see, just get a no-obligation quote today and your car will be sold within days. Our service guarantees you a buyer, and the price you're quoted will be the price you're paid, down to the last penny. Because we work with trusted Authorised Treatment Facilities nationwide, you can be safe in the knowledge that your car will be recycled in line with national regulations, meaning 95% of it will be reused in some way.
Sell your car for salvage
Some cars are too good to simply go straight onto the scrap pile. Sell your car as salvage and it will be stripped of its reusable parts to be sold for spares and repairs. Due to this potential extra revenue stream, salvage offers are often larger than their scrap counterparts. We'll show you both options so you can compare and see whether scrapping or salvaging is the best option for your specific car.
Sell your damaged car
Trying to sell a damaged car from your driveway will always be like trying to push a boulder uphill, but here we make it easy! Simply give us your car details and we'll have a buyer for you before you know it. We have specialists waiting for a car exactly like yours.
Scrap your van or commercial vehicle
Need to scrap something a little bit bigger than a car? Well we can help with that, too. Whether you've got a van, a truck, a bus or anything we can get you an unbeatable quote. Our service is exactly the same as a car sale, and we can also help with fleet disposal if needed.
How to scrap a car in Nottingham
1. Get a quote
Use our quote generator at the top of this page to see what your initial scrap quotes are, based on weight and current rates of scrap metal. We'll then get in touch to further discuss your car and re-evaluate your offers.
2. Describe your car
Our call is your chance to boost your offer. We'll take the further information you provide to see if your car could be worth more as a salvage vehicle. Once you accept a price at this point we'll lock it in, meaning you'll get paid every single penny, subject to inspection.
3. Collection and payment
Once you've accepted an offer, we'll put you in touch with one of our specialist collection agents, who'll arrange to come and collect your car at a convenient time for you. After a quick inspection to ensure the car matches your initial description, the car will be taken away and the money transferred straight into your bank account. We’ll also let the DVLA know your car has been scrapped, so you’re no longer liable for the vehicle.

What are the scrap car prices in Nottingham?
Every scrap car price we generate is calculated based on the weight of your car and the current rate for scrap metal – remember you’re effectively just selling a big lump of scrap metal. The value of scrap metal changes on a daily basis, and every quote we provide is based on the latest figures nationwide. We’ll speak to you on the phone to get a better idea on the condition of your car and see if we can boost your offer or even get a salvage price. If you do sell as salvage, then the make, model and condition of your car will also largely influence your prices.
What is salvaging and how is it different to scrap?
Scrap vehicles are sent straight to the scrapyard for crushing, whereas a salvage vehicle will be stripped of its reusable parts first. This is often called “selling for spares and repairs”. While it is not a guarantee, salvage offers are usually higher than scrap offers.
Can you scrap my specific make and model?
Of course we can! There’s nothing we can’t scrap. From Audis to Volvos and everything in between, we can get you a great price. We’ve scrapped the smallest of sportscars to the biggest 4x4s. Whether petrol powered or an environmentally friendly EV, we have specialists who can scrap absolutely anything.
Can I scrap my car in Nottingham?
Yes. We arrange free collection right across Nottingham and the wider NG postcode area, from the city centre out to Beeston, Arnold and beyond. Just get a quote, accept your offer, and we’ll come to you wherever you are.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
Ideally you’ll have your V5C logbook (the vehicle registration certificate) and some photo ID, so we can confirm you’re the registered keeper. Having the V5C makes the DVLA side quicker, but don’t worry if it’s missing, as we can still help. Just let us know when you get your quote.
Can I scrap my car without the V5C logbook?
Yes, you can still scrap your car if the V5C logbook is missing. It’s more straightforward with it, but we can talk you through the options when you get in touch. You can also apply to the DVLA for a replacement V5C if you’d prefer to have one first.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes. Once your car is scrapped and the DVLA has been told, they automatically refund any full months of tax you have left. You don’t need to claim it separately, and the refund is sent to the address on your logbook, although you will need to cancel any direct debit you had manually. You will also want to make sure that you cancel your car insurance as soon as your car has been scrapped.
What if my car still has finance on it?
If there’s outstanding finance on the car, it legally still belongs to the finance company, so you’ll need to settle the agreement or get their written permission before scrapping it. Give your finance provider a quick call to check where you stand. Once that’s sorted, we can get you a quote as normal.
What if I’ve lost the keys?
That’s not a problem. We buy cars with no keys, and it won’t stop us collecting yours. Just mention it, or any other major damages or issues your car may have, when you get your quote so the collection agent comes prepared.
Can I keep my personalised number plate when scrapping a car?
You can, but before you get a quote must make sure it is put on retention or transferred to another vehicle. If you go through the process of selling the vehicle and it is taken away with the numberplate still attached, then it will be lost forever and destroyed.
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.
