Sell a car for salvage
Salvaging is an industry term which basically means being sold for spares and repairs. Not all cars are so badly damaged that they need to go straight to the crusher, and if your car has parts that can be extracted to boost the price, we'll do our best for you.
Sell a damaged car
Selling a damaged car can be a very long and repetitive process, explaining the car's issues to every prospective buyer. You can avoid repeating yourself over and over by explaining your problem just once to our team. No time wasting here!
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
It doesn’t matter how big your vehicle is, we’ll get you a buyer! We've helped scrap everything from vans to food trucks and even larger vehicles like buses or trucks.. Call us to discuss a commercial vehicle sale - we can even assist with a fleet disposal.
How to scrap your car in Cheshunt.
1. Get a quote
Use our online quote generator to see your initial scrap prices. This is calculated by the weight of your car combined with the current going rate for scrap metal nationwide. If you're happy you can accept a price there and then, although we will call you to see if we can do any more for you.
2. Provide more details
Our call gives you a chance to boost that price. We'll take down some extra information on the car and see if we could reclassify it as salvage for you. This means any reusable parts will be removed and sold on separately - adding more value for you! Once happy, we'll lock that price in for you.
3. Collection and payment
With a price now secured, we'll arrange for one of our specialist collectors to come out to you and remove your car. Following a brief inspection to ensure the car is as described, it'll be loaded up and the money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

What are the scrap car prices in Cheshunt?
All scrap car prices we quote in Cheshunt or anywhere in Hertfordshire are based on the current value of scrap metal in the UK. This rate is then compared to the weight of your car, where a value is calculated. We’ll then check the prices local to you to ensure you’re getting the best price possible. We’ll also ask about the condition of your car to see if we could reclassify it as salvage, where age, condition and many other factors take effect.
Can you scrap my specific make and model of car?
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. No car is too rare for us, so if you think yours is a bit out there just give us a call and we’ll prove you wrong!
What happens to scrap cars?
Your car will be taken to a specialist Authorised Treatment Facility where it will be recycled in line with all government legislation. Almost all of your car will be returned to its original materials and used again in the manufacture of new vehicles.
How is salvaging different to scrapping?
Unlike scrap vehicles, salvage vehicles will be stripped of usable parts before they are confined to the crusher. These parts can then be sold on as spares for other vehicles. This is why salvage vehicles can often get a higher quote than simple scrap vehicles.
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.
