How to scrap a car in Chesham

1. Get a quote

Simply put your postcode and vehicle registration into our quote generator and see your instant scrap prices. These prices are based on the weight of your car compared to the current going rate for scrap metal nationwide. You can choose to accept this price, but either way we'll call you to see if we can stretch it a little further.

2. Provide more details

When we call you'll be asked to provide more details on the condition of your car. It's important to be as accurate as possible as your answers will determine what prices you're quoted, and will also allow us to see if we can reclassify the vehicle as salvage. Once you're happy, we'll lock in an accepted offer - meaning that's the price you'll be paid, guaranteed (subject to inspection).

3. Collection and payment

With an offer accepted we'll put you in touch with a collection specialist who'll come directly to you at a mutually convenient time. Following a brief inspection to ensure the car is as you described, it will be loaded up on the back of their truck and taken away. Once it's been taken, your money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

What are scrap cars worth in Chesham?

Every price we quote for a scrap car is based on the current price for scrap metal and the weight of your car. Selling a scrap car is effectively selling a large piece of scrap metal, so the heavier it is, the more there is for the scrap merchant to sink their teeth in to. We also take into account local trends, and salvage offers will also have extra criteria based on your specific car.

Can my specific make or model of car be scrapped?

We can scrap everything! We mean it, we’ll get you a price for any vehicle, no matter what it is you’re trying to offload. No vehicle is too rare – we’ve scrapped it all from tiny city cars to hulking SUVs. We can ever get prices for supercars or rare foreign imports. If you’re not sure, just give us a call and we’ll help find you a great price no matter what.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

While scrap cars are sent straight to the scrapyard before the dismantling process, salvage cars will have some reusable components that are removed first. These components, such as engines or gearboxes, are then saved back as spares or repairs – adding value to your offers.

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars are recycled in line with government regulations. Your car will be stripped back and returned to its raw materials, which can then be recycled and reused again in the manufacturing process. Often these materials will help build new cars.

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.
