How to sell a car in South Molton
1. Get a quote
Use the quote generator at the top of this page to see your initial offers. These will be based on the current rate for scrap metal combined with the kerb weight of your car to get a base price. We'll then give you a call to go through the details and see what we can do for you.
2. Provide more details
Our team's call is where you get a chance to describe your car and possibly get a bigger offer. We'll scour the area near you to ensure you're getting the very best quote. Be as detailed as possible - and honest - so we can guarantee your price offer.
3. Arrange collection
We'll arrange for one of our specialist collection agents to come to you to collect the car. The driver will perform a quick inspection to ensure your description was accurate, and as soon as it's been loaded onto the trailer the money will be paid. The payment will come via bank transfer and be in your account that same day.

What happens when a car is scrapped?
All scrap cars are recycled. This is a legal requirement. In many cases, you’ll find your car will actually be turned back into raw materials to help build brand new vehicles. Find out more about car recycling.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
Scrap vehicles are simply that, destined to end up on the scrap pile. Salvage vehicles are instead broken down for their parts first. Your offers are likely to be higher for a salvage car purely because there’s a greater potential return on investment for your spare parts.
How do I get the best price for my car?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren't destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car's condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that's the price you'll be paid. 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 occasionally result in lower offers, however our team will let you know and share why.
