What are scrap car prices in Thatcham

The scrap car prices in Thatcham, like wider Berkshire, will be generated based on the weight of your car and the current rate for scrap metal nationwide. We’ll also check the wider area to see if you could possibly get more by selling as salvage.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?

Scrap vehicles will be sent directly to the scrapyard for dismantling, while salvage vehicles will be stripped down first. Any reusable parts from a salvage vehicle will be either sold on as spare parts or used to repair other similar vehicles. Salvage vehicles often fetch higher prices than scrap vehicles thanks to the added potential value in these spare parts.

What happens when a car is scrapped?

Your car will be sent to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) to be recycled in line with all government and environmental rules and regulations. It will be returned to its raw materials, which will then be able to be used again in the manufacturing process.

I have a rare car, can you scrap it?

Absolutely! We don’t care how popular or rare a car is. A car is a car to us and we’ll get a price no matter what it is. We’ve scrapped everything from family hatchbacks to exotic supercars. Still think your car is too rare for us? Give us a call and we’ll get you a price!

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.
