What are the scrap car prices in Borehamwood?

Every single scrap car price we quote are calculated by looking at your local area and putting that alongside the current average rate of scrap metal. The weight of your car will have a big influence on your offers, with heavier cars getting bigger prices.

Can my MOT failure or insurance write-off be scrapped?

Of course it can! No level of damage is too much for us, even if your insurers have written it off. Don’t worry about an MOT, either – we’ll get you a buyer with or without a valid MOT certificate.

Can you scrap my specific make or model of car?

We can scrap anything and everything – if it’s got wheels, we’ll get it scrapped. From the most common hatchbacks you see in the town centre to the foreign imports or exotic rarities you only see flying by you on the motorway, we’ve scrapped it all. If you think yours is too obscure, just get in touch and we’ll provide you with a great price.

What is the difference between salvage and scrap?

Scrap cars will be sent straight to the scrap yard for dismantling and recycling as they are. Salvage cars will be stripped of any working parts before heading to the scrap pile first. These parts can then be sold on as spares or repairs, potentially boosting your offers thanks to the extra revenue stream.

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.
