Our base service, get your instant scrap price by using our quote generator at the top of this page. We'll link you with a close by scrap buyer in moments. You'll be amazed at the speed of our service, with some scrap vehicle being sold in as little as 72 hours.
Sell a car as salvage
If your car still has some life left in it, you might be able to get an even better price by selling as salvage. This will see your car sold to someone prepared to strip it for parts which can then be sold on or used to repair other broken vehicles. These spare parts carry their own values, and as a result you're likely to receive a higher offer for a salvage vehicle than a scrap one.

What are scrap car prices in Ross-on-Wye?
All of the scrap car prices generated by our online form are based on the current rate for scrap metal and any local averages. This will then be calculated by the weight of your vehicle, as you’re effectively selling a large lump of scrap metal rather than a car. If your car has some extra value in potential spare parts, our team will see if you could calculate a salvage offer.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
Car salvaging sees cars fixed or stripped for parts instead of going straight to the scrap pile. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need you give us an accurate description of the car’s condition to get these quotes.
What happens to scrap vehicles?
All scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental standards and national legislation. Your car will be treated and returned back to its raw materials. These materials will often re-enter the manufacturing industry, and could be used to help build brand new cars. By scrapping your old car, you might help another new one hit the road!
Are there any cars too obscure to scrap?
Absolutely not! We can scrap anything and everything, so whatever’s sitting in your driveway can be sold. Whether it’s a best selling hatchback or an ultra-rare exotic sportscar, we can always get you a great price!
Can you scrap insurance write-offs or MOT failures?
There is no limit on cars being scrapped – in fact, MOT failures and insurance write-offs are some of the most common vehicles we see. We’ve seen some incredibly damaged vehicles in our time, and we always get a great offer for them.
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.
