Scrap car services in Hatfield
Here’s what we can do for you and your cars in Hatfield
Scrap your car
The easiest vehicle sale you'll ever see, simply get a quote using our online valuation tool and we'll do all the hard work for you. Your troubled car will be gone before you know it, with some sales taking as little as 72 hours!
Sell a car as salvage
Some cars are simply too good to go straight to the scrapyard, and if yours fits this description then we'll still find you a great price. We've got buyers who are prepared to strip down vehicles of their reusable parts for spares and repairs - or 'salvage', as it's called in the industry.
Sell a damaged car
Selling a damaged car privately is never easy, and we know that first hand - that's why we're here! We've got buyers waiting for cars just like yours, so rather than waiting for a sale that could take weeks, get in touch and sell it in days instead!
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
We don't just get prices for broken cars, our service works on any vehicle no matter the size. We've sold vans, trucks, buses - we'll get a price for any vehicle whatever it is and in any condition. We can even help you out with fleet disposal if you need a complete refresh for your business.
How to scrap a car in Hatfield
1. Get a quote
Put your vehicle details and postcode into our online quote generator and see your instant scrap prices. These will be made based on the current going rate for scrap metal along with the weight of your car. We'll then get in touch to discuss any finer details or to help you finalise an offer you're happy with.
2. Provide more details
While you can accept a scrap offer straight away, we'll ask you a few questions about the condition of your car to assess whether it could be sold as salvage instead. A salvage offer could be an even higher offer than your scrap price - but it is important that you are fully accurate with the descriptions as false information will only result in your price being recalculated when it is collected.
3. Collection and payment
With an offer confirmed and locked in, we'll put you in touch with one of our trusted collection agents. This agent will come directly to you to remove your car. When the car has been put on the trailer, your money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

What are scrap car prices in Hatfield?
Every scrap car price we provide in Hatfield, Hertfordshire or the entire UK are based on the weight of your car combined with the current value of scrap metal. This is because a scrap car is effectively sold as a lump of scrap metal. More weight means more money as there will be more metal for the dealer to get their hands on. If your car is to be sold as salvage then the price will also be influenced by the age, condition and other factors regarding its parts.
Can you scrap my specific make or model of car?
We can scrap anything and everything! From best selling Volkswagen or Vauxhall hatchbacks to the rarest of sportscars or exotic imports, we’ll get you a great price. Size and condition doesn’t matter – whatever you’ve got we’ll be able to provide you with competitive quotes in the quickest way possible.
How is salvaging different to scrapping?
Salvage vehicles are broken down before they are sent to the scrapyard so their reusable parts can be sold on elsewhere, or used to repair other vehicles. This adds value to salvage vehicles and is why we often see higher offers compared to scrap. Scrap cars, on the other hand, are sent straight to the scrapyard first with no parts removed.
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.
