Scrap car services in Hitchin
We do more than just scrapping, despite what our name suggests! Here’s what we can do for you and your old car in Hitchin.
Scrap your car
Our core service and the easiest sale you'll ever come across. Get a price in seconds and we'll find a buyer looking for a car just like yours! Better yet, we'll come and get it for free too!
Sell your car as salvage
Some cars are simply too good to go straight to the scrap pile. If yours fits this description, we'll find you a buyer who's prepared to strip it down of its reusable parts as spares and repairs. These parts can then be sold on for even more value - which is why salvage offers are regularly higher than scrap ones.
Sell a damaged car
Just because your car has a few issues doesn't mean it has to be difficult to sell. With our service you're guaranteed to find a buyer in an instant - no time wasters here! Speak to us and we'll get your car sold much faster than you will from your driveway.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
We can get a price for pretty much anything with wheels, no matter how big it is! We've scrapped buses, coaches, vans, trucks... you name it, we'll scrap it! The process is just as easy as it is for cars, so don't hesitate. We can even help you scrap a fleet of vehicles if needed.
How to scrap a car in Hitchin
1. Get a price
Simply put your postcode and vehicle registration into our quote generator to see just how much your car could be worth as scrap. These will be your base prices, and then we'll call you to get a better idea of your car's condition and what we can do for you.
2. Provide more details
Our call is your chance to provide as many details about your car as possible. Ensure this is accurate, as our valuations are entirely based on your descriptions. False descriptions will only result in your price being recalculated upon collection. Once you've received an offer you're happy with, we'll put you in touch with one of our collection agents.
3. Collection and payment
With an offer locked in you'll then arrange with the buyer a suitable time to come and remove your car. After a brief inspection to see your car is as described, your car will be loaded up onto the trailer and payment will be made directly into your bank account.

What are the scrap car prices in Hitchin?
All of our scrap car prices are generated by taking the weight of your car and putting it alongside the current rate for scrap metal nationwide. We also take into account any local trends. If your car is being sold as salvage then its age, condition and other factors will come into play.
Can I scrap my MOT failure or insurance write off?
MOT failures are some of the most common vehicles we scrap, and can often be an option for those who are unable to repair their cars back to MOT standards. We also wee a lot of insurance write-offs – so no matter how badly damaged your car might be, we’ll always find you a buyer.
What is the difference between scrap and salvage?
Scrap vehicles are sent straight to the scrap yard and crushed as they are (following all recycling legislation). Salvage vehicles, however, are stripped of their spare parts first before the remainder is scrapped. These spare parts can be sold on as spares or repairs, usually resulting in larger values when obtaining quotes.
Can you scrap my specific make and model of car?
We can scrap every car! We mean it, nothing is too obscure for us. Just get in touch and we’ll find a price for your car no matter what it is. We’ve scrapped everything from best-selling hatchbacks to rare foreign imports. Get a quote to get started and we’ll make sure you get every penny your car is worth.
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.
