How is salvaging different from scrapping?

Salvage vehicles will be broken down before they are scrapped, allowing you to sell on any parts that may still be in good condition. For this reason you’ll find that salvage offers are usually much higher than their scrap counterparts. Find out how to salvage your car.

What will happen to my scrap car?

The government stipulates that the majority of all scrap vehicles must be recycled. You car will be broken down back to its original materials. These materials will then be reused, most likely to help build newer vehicles. Find out more about car recycling.

Can you scrap my specific make and model?

No matter what car make and model you’re looking to scrap, we can get you a great price. From Fords to Ferraris, we’ve seen it all. If you think your car is too good or rare to scrap, then we have a team of experts on hand to prove you wrong!

Simply give our team a call and they’ll happily help you through every step of the way.

Can my damaged, broken, missing MOT car be scrapped?

Any car, no matter how damaged, can be scrapped. We’ll even get you a great price if your car has no current MOT or is deemed an insurance write off. We’ll get you a great price no matter your car’s history.

Use our quote generator to get your best price now or call us on 03333 44 99 50. This number is available free of charge, seven days a week.

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.
