What are the scrap car prices in Hereford?

All scrap car prices are determined by the current going rate for scrap metal and averages in and around Herefordshire. The price of a scrap vehicle is hugely influenced by its weight – more metal, more money. We’ll look around Hereford and the wider county to ensure that you’re getting the very best price possible for your scrap vehicle.

What happens to scrap cars?

The law dictates that all scrap cars must be recycled. The vast majority of your car will be broken down to be used again. Quite often these will be used to make new cars.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Scrap cars will go straight to the scrap yard to be recycled. Car salvaging, however, is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t immediately dismantled and recycled, but either stripped for parts or even fixed itself. 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.

Is any car too rare to scrap?

We can scrap any make and model of car you can think of. Our team has seen it all – from supercars to superminis, we can guarantee great prices for any 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.
