Sell your car as salvage

2. Provide more detail

Think your car is worth a bit more than you've been quoted? You might be right!

This means your car will be used for parts instead of scrap metal, and can get you significantly more money!

3. Arrange collection

This means that, as long as the details you gave us about your car was accurate, you'll be paid that value down to the last penny.

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap vehicles must be recycled in line with the government regulations. The vast majority of your car will be broken down into its original materials, and these are then often fed back into the manufacturing process. Recycled materials from scrap cars are often used in the manufacture of new cars.

What is salvaging?

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 much are scrap cars worth in Sidmouth?

Every scrap car price we generate is based on the weight of your car and the current rate for scrap vehicles nationwide. We’ll also check local trends as well as taking into account the condition of your car if it could be sold as a salvage vehicle.

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.
