Scrap Car Comparison Mascot

What are the scrap car prices in Hemel?

All of the scrap car prices we generate in Hemel and the rest of Hertfordshire are calculated in line with the national rate for scrap metal and the weight of your car. The more metal a car has, the more it’s going to be worth to a scrap metal dealer, so weight is king. Salvage prices will also be impacted by the age, condition and other specific factors.

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars must be recycled as per government regulations. This means your car will be stripped down to its original materials, with each of these being returned to their raw form. These will then be used again in the manufacturing process, often helping build brand new cars.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?

Scrapping is simple – the car is taken straight to the scrapyard for crushing and recycling. Salvaging, however, sees the car stripped of any reusable parts first. These spare parts can then be sold on as spares or repairs, helping boost the value of your car compared to a simple scrap option.

Can I scrap my MOT failure or insurance write-off?

Of course you can, no car is too badly damaged for our service. We see insurance write-offs and MOT failures almost every day, infact the latter are some of our most common calls! Whatever’s happened to your car, just get in touch and we’ll find you a great price.

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.
