How to scrap your car in Slough
1. Get a quote
Find out how much your car is worth as scrap in an instant by using our price generator to get your base prices. This will be determined by your vehicle's weight and the current price for scrap metal. We'll then give you a call to learn more about your car and see if we can revalue it for salvage.
2. Describe your car
This next bit is important - accurately describe your car and we can see if you might be able to make more money by selling as salvage. Accuracy is key here as any false information will only result in a recalculation upon collection. Once you've described the car, we'll lock that price in, subject to inspection.
3. Arrange collection and get paid
With an offer accepted we'll put you in touch with one of our trusted collection agents. Our network spans 99% of UK postcodes so you can be sure you're going to get a great price and free collection with us. Once your car has been removed, the money will be transferred directly into your bank account. Cash payment is not offered in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. We'll also notify the DVLA and send you a Certificate of Destruction, if requested, so the paperwork's fully sorted.
Scrap Locations in Slough
We cover all of the SL1, SL2 and SL3 postcode districts, so no matter where you are in Slough we guarantee 100% coverage. Whether you’re in Upton, Langley, Datchet or Brands Hill, we can come to you.

We can even help you out if you’re further out in nearby Burnham, Iver or Windsow, and have collected cars stranded at the side of M4, A4 and A355, so nothing’s too awkward for us.

What happens to scrap cars?
Government regulations require that scrap cars will be recycled in line with national environmental standards. Your car will be returned to its raw materials, which will then be recycled to be used in the building of many things including brand new cars. Find out more about car recycling.
Is salvaging the same as scrapping?
Not quite. Salvage vehicles are stripped of any reusable parts first, and these parts can then be sold on for spares or repairs. These parts add potential value to your vehicle, and as we work with salvage experts we’ll always try to see if we can get you a salvage offer alongside your scrap ones.
What are the scrap car prices in Slough?
Every price we generate, both in Slough and nationally, are generated in line with the current national rate for scrap metal and any local trends. We always check the local area, too. This means if there are any better offers around Berkshire or the surrounding areas, we’ll know about them and keep you informed.
Can I still scrap my car if it's written off or has no MOT?
Absolutely! Cars with no current MOT and those written off by insurers are some of the most common vehicles that we see come through our system on a daily basis. Whatever the problem is, we’ll get you a great price.
Can you scrap my specific make and model?
We’ve scrapped pretty much every single car make and model in the UK, so absolutely! We’ve also scrapped a fair amount of foreign imports, so no matter what it is you’re trying to offload we’ll be able to help. 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.
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 request a Certificate of Destruction for your records if necessary.
Do I get a Certificate of Destruction?
If you’ve requested one, 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 in Slough?
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.
