Sell a damaged car
Damage is common with vehicles heading for scrap, so scratches, dents or even a previous write-off won't be a problem. Whatever condition your car is in, we'll work to find a suitable buyer and get you the best offer available.
Salvage your car
Think your vehicle could be worth more than its basic scrap value? It may well be. By providing a few extra details, we can check whether your car is suitable for salvage, allowing reusable parts to be removed and potentially increasing the amount you receive.
Scrap a van or commercial vehicle
We don’t just handle cars. Our service also covers commercial vehicles such as vans, buses, trucks and more specialist vehicles. We can even arrange the disposal of entire fleets at once, making the process far simpler and saving you the hassle of organising each vehicle separately.

What are the scrap car prices in Blackpool?
Yes, you can scrap your car in Blackpool and the surrounding towns and villages – we have 100% coverage across the county. We have a number of scrap yards covering your area that are able to offer the most competitive prices, free collection and great customer service.
Can you scrap my specific make & model?
We scrap all well known car makes and models across the country. That includes the newest electric cars, non-ULEZ compliant diesels and petrols and older classic cars. We can even scrap imports, modified cars and carry out commercial fleet disposal. We use your registration plate to find the specific model and price according to the manufacturer’s weight of the vehicle. On the rare occasion we don’t find your make and model details we’ll escalate your quote to our specialist team to research the vehicle and find you an unbeatable price.
Can my damaged, broken down, MOT-failed car be sold?
Yes, we can scrap just about any car or van in any condition. We might need to adjust the prices we offer if there are parts of your vehicle missing. But if you have a damaged car, a car with no current MOT or even if it’s an insurance write off we can get you a price and arrange a collection.

How is salvaging different from scrapping?
Car salvaging is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t dismantled and recycled, but instead fixed or stripped for parts. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need to know more about the car’s condition.
What will happen to my scrap car?
If your car is scrapped then the vehicle will be depolluted and recycled. This means all of the components and parts will be stripped and processed in line with national environmental standards. Nearly all of the materials will be used to build new cars in what is considered a circular automotive economy.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
You’ll usually need your V5C logbook, along with photo ID and proof of address, when you scrap your car. If you don’t have your V5C, let us know when you get your quote and we’ll explain what else we can accept. We’ll also confirm collection details, including whether we need spare keys or service history.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C?
Yes, you can usually still scrap your car if you don’t have your V5C logbook. Just tell us it’s missing when you accept your quote and we’ll let you know what else we need, such as photo ID and proof of address. It’s still important to notify the DVLA in writing that you’ve sold or scrapped the car.
What if my car has outstanding finance?
If your car still has outstanding finance, it needs to be settled, or you need permission from the finance company, before it can be scrapped. This is because the finance company has a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends. Contact them first to check your options, then get in touch with us to arrange the next steps.
What if I have no keys for my car?
You can still scrap your car in Blackpool even if you don’t have the keys. Just let us know when you get your quote so we can arrange the right kind of collection. Our team will handle the rest, including the paperwork.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes, you can get a refund on any full months of remaining road tax once you’ve told the DVLA your car has been scrapped. We handle the DVLA notification for you, which starts the refund process automatically. Any refund is paid directly to you by the DVLA, not by us.
How do I tell the DVLA I've scrapped my car?
You don’t need to do anything yourself, as we notify the DVLA on your behalf as soon as your car is collected. This officially removes your car from your name and stops your responsibility for it. You’ll also receive a Certificate of Destruction for your records.
Do I get a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, you’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction once your car has been processed. This is your proof that the car has been scrapped legally and that you’re no longer responsible for it. We take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to.
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.
