Scrap car services in Newton Abbot
Everything we can do for you and your scrap car in Newton Abbot
Scrap your car
The basic service and the easiest sale you'll ever experience. All you need is to put some basic information into our quote generator and we'll provide you with some prices instantly. We'll check the local area to make sure you're only getting the best offers.
Sell your car as salvage
Sometimes a car might be simply "too good" to end up straight on the scrap pile. If this is the case with yours, then we can get you a potentially better price by selling as salvage. This will see your car broken down and sold for parts.

Selling a damaged car isn't easy, especially explaining the problem to prospective buyers again and again. Use our service and you'll only have to describe your car once. We have buyers waiting for a car just like yours, so get started today and get rid of that troubled motor.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
We don't just scrap cars, and no matter how big or obscure your vehicle is our service stays the same. Instant quotes and guaranteed offers are provided for vans, buses, trucks - anything! Just get in touch to see what we can do for you.

What are scrap car prices like in Newton Abbot?
The good news is that scrap car prices are directly linked to the weight of your car. Got something bigger than a car? We can price and scrap your van too. And those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards in Newton Abbot and the wider Devon county offer competitive prices for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we’ll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.
Can you scrap my make and model?
We scrap all well known car makes and models across the country. That includes the newest electric cars, non-ULEZ compliant diesels and petrols and older classic cars. We can even scrap imports, modified cars and carry out commercial fleet disposal. We use your registration plate to find the specific model and price according to the manufacturer’s weight of the vehicle. 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 happens to scrap cars?
If your car is scrapped then the vehicle will be recycled. This means all of the components and parts will be stripped and processed in line with national environmental standards. Nearly all of the materials will be used to build new cars in what is considered a circular automotive economy.
How is salvaging different to scrap?
Car salvaging is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t dismantled and recycled, but instead fixed or stripped for parts. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need to know more about the car’s condition.
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.
