1. Get a quote

Just put your postcode and vehicle registration number into our online quote generator and we'll present you with your scrap offers. You can choose to accept one there and then, but we will call you to discuss your car in greater detail and assess your options.

Our call is your opportunity to boost your offers. Provide an accurate description of the condition of your car and we'll see whether it could qualify for a salvage offer. Ensure your description is accurate, as while we do guarantee the price it remains subject to inspection.

What happens when a car is scrapped?

Scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental rules. Every car we scrap is taken to a specialist Authorised Treatment Facility to be scrapped in line with all legal rules. When a car is scrapped it is returned to its original materials, and from there it will be used again in the manufacturing process.

How much is a scrap car worth in Knutsford?

Every single quote we provide for a scrap car is based on the current rates for scrap metal compared with the weight of your vehicle. We’ll also always check local trends and ask for further details for a more detailed salvage quote.

Can I scrap an MOT failure or insurance write-off?

Absolutely! Even if your car is so badly damaged that your insurers have written it off, we’ll still be able to find you a buyer! We help sell MOT failures every day, so no matter what’s wrong with your car, you know we’ll be able to help you out!

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Scrap vehicles are sent straight to the scrap yard and crushed as they are (following all recycling legislation). Salvage vehicles, however, are stripped of their spare parts first before the remainder is scrapped. These spare parts can be sold on as spares or repairs, usually resulting in larger values when obtaining quotes.

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.
