How is salvaging different from scrapping?
Salvaging sees cars broken down into their working parts before being scrapped. This allows those parts to then be sold on or used elsewhere to repair other broken vehicles. Because of this, the value of the original vehicle will often rise as a result. Scrapping involves the car going straight to the crusher with no stripping down first. Find out how to salvage your car.
What will happen to my scrap car?
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. Find out more about car recycling.
Can you scrap my specific make and model?
Of course we can! We’ve scrapped pretty much every single car make and model there is out there. We’ve seen everything from the rarest of imports to the most common hatchback seen in a supermarket car park.
Still think your car is too rare or special to scrap? Speak to our team and they’ll show you just what you can get. Find your best offers through our generator to see just how much your car could be worth.

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.
