Services available in Farnborough
We do more than scrap! Here’s an overview of our services:
Scrap your car
Get an instant sale of your old car by selling as scrap. Just give us the postcode and your reg number and we’ll find the best price in your area. It’s literally that simple.
Salvage your old vehicle
If your car’s still got a little bit of life left in it, you could sell it as salvage. This means the best parts of it will be removed first to be sold on – often meaning you can enjoy an even better price!
Sell a damaged car
Selling a damaged car can be tricky, especially working out if potential buyers are time wasters or not. Explain your problem once to us and we’ll sort you out with a buyer in no time at all.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
We can even help if you’re looking to scrap something a little larger than a car! Got a fleet of vans, trucks or bigger that needs updating? We can help get rid of them all at once! Just give us a call.
Step by step guide
1. Get a quote
Our quote generator is the perfect place to start. Within seconds you’ll see how much your car could be worth as scrap. We’ll then call you to go over some of the finer details of your car.
2. Give more details
Our call is your chance to get an even better price. Be as accurate as you can be and we’ll re-evaluate if your car could be sold as salvage instead. We’ll search wider to get you the best offer.
3. Arrange a collection
With an offer in the bag, it’s time to arrange collection. We’ll hand you over to one of our trusted partners and they’ll agree a time to come and collect it. Once it's gone the payment will be made.

What are the scrap car prices in Farnborough?
Whenever you get a scrap car price through our service you’re getting the most recent offer in line with the national average for scrap vehicles. This price takes into account both the current rate for scrap as well as the weight of your car itself.
We compare these prices across Hampshire, so you can be certain you’re getting the very best price in Farnborough.
How is salvaging different from scrapping?
The biggest difference is that your vehicle will be broken apart before it is taken to the scrap pile. All the reusable parts will be kept aside to be sold on elsewhere or used to repair other damaged vehicles. Because of this extra potential return, you will regularly find that a salvage price is greater than a scrap quote. Find out how to salvage your car.
What will happen to my scrap car?
All scrap cars are recycled. Government regulations mandate that the majority of scrap cars are broken down to their original materials. These materials are then used again in manufacturing industries. Find out more about car recycling.
Can you scrap my specific make and model?
We can scrap anything, whatever the car’s make or model is. You’ll be surprised at the variety we see. From common Volkswagens to rare supercars, we’ll get you a great price whatever you used to drive.
Simply give our team a call and they’ll happily help you through every step of the way.
Can my damaged, broken, missing MOT car be scrapped?
Any car, no matter how damaged, can be scrapped. We’ll even get you a great price if your car has no current MOT or is deemed an insurance write off. We’ll get you a great price no matter your car’s history.
Use our quote generator to get your best price now or call us on 03333 44 99 50. This number is available free of charge, seven days a week.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
You’ll usually need your V5C logbook, along with photo ID and proof of address, when you scrap your car. If you don’t have your V5C, let us know when you get your quote and we’ll explain what else we can accept. We’ll also confirm collection details, including whether we need spare keys or service history.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C?
Yes, you can usually still scrap your car if you don’t have your V5C logbook. Just tell us it’s missing when you accept your quote and we’ll let you know what else we need, such as photo ID and proof of address. It’s still important to notify the DVLA in writing that you’ve sold or scrapped the car.
What if my car has outstanding finance?
If your car still has outstanding finance, it needs to be settled, or you need permission from the finance company, before it can be scrapped. This is because the finance company has a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends. Contact them first to check your options, then get in touch with us to arrange the next steps.
What if I don't have keys for my car?
We can usually still collect and pay for your car even without keys, as long as our driver can access it. Let us know when you get your quote so we can check whether it affects your offer. Our recovery trucks are set up to load vehicles that can’t be driven.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes, you can get a refund on any full months of remaining road tax once you’ve told the DVLA your car has been scrapped. We handle the DVLA notification for you, which starts the refund process automatically. Any refund is paid directly to you by the DVLA, not by us.
How do I tell the DVLA I've scrapped my car?
You don’t need to do anything yourself, as we notify the DVLA on your behalf as soon as your car is collected. This officially removes your car from your name and stops your responsibility for it. You’ll also receive a Certificate of Destruction for your records.
Do I get a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, you can request a Certificate of Destruction once your car has been processed. This is your proof that the car has been scrapped legally and that you’re no longer responsible for it. We take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to.
Do I need to be present for collection?
No, another adult over the age of 18 can represent you for the collection of your vehicle. They will need to have their own form of photo ID to hand and should present the required documentation, just as you would.
How do I get the best price for my car in Farnborough?
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.
