Scrap car services in Bracknell
Despite our name, we do more than just scrapping old cars! Here’s a rundown of our current services
Scrap your car
The basic service and the easiest sale you'll ever experience. All you need is to put some basic information into our quote generator and we'll provide you with some prices instantly. We'll check the local area to make sure you're only getting the best offers.
Sell a damaged vehicle
Don't waste time with time wasters! Get on the phone to our dedicated sales team and they'll get you a sale for your car no matter how badly damaged it is. We have specialist buyers waiting for a car just like yours.
Salvage your vehicle
Some cars destined for the scrapyard actually have much more life left in them. If this is the case with yours, then why not sell it as salvage rather than scrap? This means your car will be broken down and stripped of its reusable parts, which can then be sold on as spares and repairs. Salvage cars almost always get better prices than scrap ones.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
With many corporate offices and business parks across Bracknell, we're used to seeing numerous companies cycling through company and lease cars. We can also help with the larger side of commercial motoring. We've scrapped vans, trucks, buses and almost all commercial vehicles you can think of. Get in touch today and our team will guide you through the process. We can even help with fleet disposal if this is needed.
How to scrap your car in Bracknell
1. Get a quote
Put your postcode and vehicle registration number into our online quote generator to get your initial scrap prices. These will be based on scrap metal prices and the weight of your car. We'll then call to get a better idea on your specific vehicle and see if we can re-evaluate your offers as salvage.
2. Describe your car
An accurate description when talking to us is vital to ensuring you get the very best price. It's important to be honest about your car's condition, as this will allow us to lock in the quote there and then. This will be subject to inspection, which is why accuracy and honesty is key at this stage.
3. Arrange collection
With an offer now accepted and a price locked in, our collection agents will come out to you to pick up your vehicle. After a once over to ensure the car is as described, it will be taken away for free and your money will be transferred directly into your bank account. Cash cannot be offered due to the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. We'll also notify the DVLA and send you a Certificate of Destruction, so the paperwork's fully sorted.

What are the scrap car prices in Bracknell?
All scrap car prices we quote are linked to the weight of your car combined with the current rate for scrap metal in the country. We’ll check the local area to make sure you’re getting the best price around you. We’ll also ask about your car’s condition to see if we might be able to get a salvage offer to compare.
What is salvaging compared to scrapping?
Salvage vehicles will be stripped down before they are sent to the scrap pile. Any reusable parts will be kept aside and either sold on as spares or used to repair other damaged cars. The added value in these parts mean that salvage offers are often larger than scrap ones.
What happens to scrap cars?
All scrap cars will be recycled. This is a legal requirement and will follow specific environmental regulations. Every scrap yard we work with is an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), so you can be safe in the knowledge that your car will be recycled in line with all rules and regulations.
My car is very rare, can I still scrap it?
Absolutely! We’ve scrapped everything from common brands to unique models. If you’ve got an exotic supercar, a foreign import or something you’ve personally modified, we can guarantee you a great price no matter what.
Can I still scrap a car if it has no MOT or has been written off?
Yes you can. We see MOT failures and insurance write-offs on a daily basis so we’re well versed with getting prices for vehicles like this. We’ve dealt with cars with all forms of damage from small dents and scrapes to bent metal and blown engines.
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 don't have keys for my car?
We can usually still collect and pay for your car even without keys, as long as our driver can access it. Let us know when you get your quote so we can check whether it affects your offer. Our recovery trucks are set up to load vehicles that can’t be driven.
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 can also request a Certificate of Destruction for your records.
Do I get a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, if requested, 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.
Do I have to be there for the collection?
You do not need to be present if you are unavailable, and can nominate someone to represent you if necessary. The person representing you must be over the age of 18 with ID and proof of address. This is also the case if you are scrapping a car on behalf of someone else, such as an elderly relative or after a bereavement – although you must make this clear whilst getting a quote in this situation.
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.
