What are the scrap car prices in Berkshire?

Every single scrap car price we offer is calculated by taking the current rate for scrap metal and putting it alongside your vehicle’s weight. This is because a scrap car is effectively one big lump of scrap metal. However, we will always check to see if you could make more money by selling as salvage rather than scrap.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?

Scrap cars are sent straight to the scrap yard for crushing, while a salvage vehicle will be stripped of its usable parts first. For this reason salvage vehicles can often generate larger quotes due to the added value of those spare parts.

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars will be recycled in line with government and environmental regulations. Your car will be returned to its original materials which can then be used again in the manufacturing process. Often, materials from old scrap cars will be reused to help build new cars.

Can I still scrap my car with no MOT?

Of course! MOT failures, insurance write-offs and cars with any level of damage can be scrapped. In fact, vehicles that fit into those categories make up the vast majority of those that we deal with. If you think your car is about to fail its MOT give us a call first to see if it’s better to scrap it before the test!

Can you scrap my specific make and model of car?

We can scrap any car you can think of. We’ve scrapped it all from best selling hatchbacks to exotic sportscars. We can even help get a great price for rare imports or modified vehicles. If you’re unsure, just give our team a call and one of our specialist experts will be more than happy to help.

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.
