Scrap your car

Our quickest and easiest service. Your car will be priced accordingly based on the price of scrap metal. We’ll arrange a collection and your car will be sold in days.

Sell your car as salvage

Many of our customers aren’t aware they can boost their price by selling their car as salvage. Just because your car is no longer roadworthy, doesn’t mean it can’t help others get back on the road. Sell as salvage for a potentially better price than scrap.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

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 to scrap cars?

All scrap cars must be recycled per government regulations. Your car will be broken down into its raw materials before being sent to its final destination. These raw materials will then be used again in the manufacturing process, often helping to build brand new cars.

What are the prices of scrap cars in Glossop?

Every scrap car price generated through our service will be the most recent offer in line with the national average for scrap vehicles. These prices are calculated by taking both the current rate for scrap as well as the weight of your car itself. We compare scrap prices across all of Derbyshire, so you can be certain you’re getting the very best price in Glossop.

Can I scrap an MOT failure or insurance write off?

Of course you can! Any car can be scrapped no matter the extent of any damages it may have. Don’t let having no current MOT stop you, either! We can get great prices for MOT failues, and even those that have been written off by your insurers. Whatever the problem is, we’ll get you a great 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.
