Sell a car for salvage
Salvaging a car is basically the industry term for selling it as "spares and repairs". Your car will be stripped down to its individual components, which will then be sold on individually. As a result of these extra sales, you'll often find that a salvage car gets better offers than scrap ones.
Sell a damaged car
Don't waste time trying to sell a damaged car privately. Avoid hagglers and having to explain the problem to every potential buyer. Speak to us just once and we'll tell you how much its worth and who's going to pay the most for it. We'll find those prices much faster than you would privately!

How to scrap your car in Hertfordshire
1. Get a price
Simply put your details into our quote generator and we'll provide you with your prices straight away. You could a scrap offer straight away, or alternatively we'll call you to see how much you could receive by selling as salvage instead.
2. Provide more details
When we call, you'll be asked a few questions about the condition of your car, which will allow us to calculate its value as a salvage vehicle. We'll always try to find a salvage price for you, as chances are it'll be better than a scrap one. From here it's up to you to decide which offer to accept.
3. Arrange collection
With an offer accepted and locked down, we'll send one of our trusted collection partners out to come and pick up the car. Following a brief inspection (just to ensure it is as you described) your car will be loaded up and taken away. Your payment will be made by bank transfer once the car is on the trailer, and the money should land in your account on that same day.

What are scrap car prices in Hertfordshire?
Every price we quote for a scrap car is based on the current price for scrap metal and the weight of your car. Selling a scrap car is effectively selling a large piece of scrap metal, so the heavier it is, the more there is for the scrap merchant to sink their teeth in to. We also take into account local trends, and salvage offers will also have extra criteria based on your specific car.
How is salvage different to scrap?
Salvage vehicles will be broken down into their individual parts before they are sent to the scrap yard. The working parts will be removed to be sold on elsewhere, either simply as spare parts or to repair other vehicles. For this reason, salvage vehicles usually get larger offers than scrap ones.
Can I scrap a damaged car with no MOT?
Absolutely! Even if your car is so badly damaged that your insurers have written it off, we’ll still be able to find you a buyer! We help sell MOT failures every day, so no matter what’s wrong with your car, you know we’ll be able to help you out!
What happens to scrap cars?
All scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental rules and government regulations. Your car will be stripped back to its original materials and components, which will then be recycled or used elsewhere to help other vehicles get back on the road.
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.
