What Our Customers Say About Us
★★★★★Anonymous
An excellent service. I enquired online and within minutes had a quote. When I called the number to arrange collection the customer service was excellent. I unfortunately cannot remember the name of the person I spoke to but he was polite, helpful and extremely professional as well as friendly and understanding. He arranged pick up of the vehicle for the following day. I was a little dissapointed that he arranged Ammonford scrap as I had already phoned them and I was told they would get back to me in 30 minutes. 5 days later I still hadnt heard back from them despite phoning them to chase it up, therefore I would have preferred not to have gone to them.

Scrap car services in Letchworth
Here’s everything we can do for you in and around Letchworth with a scrap car
Scrap your car
Get instant offers for your old car by using our quick and easy system. Your quotes come through in moments and we'll even get your car sold and removed in just a handful of days - the fastest and easiest car sale you'll ever see!
Salvage your car
Just because you think your car is too good for scrap doesn't mean we can't get you a great price. If your car still has some parts in good working order, then you could sell your car as spares and repairs - known as salvage in the industry. This means it will be stripped of all its working components before being sent to the scrapyard.
Sell a damaged car
We know just how long and difficult selling damaged vehicles can be, which is why we're here to make it as quick and stress-free as possible. We have a network of buyers looking for cars just like yours, so we can guarantee a much quicker sale than from your driveway.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Even if you're looking to sell something on the larger side, we can help you here too! We've scrapped everything from trucks to buses and vans to coaches! The process is just as simple as it is with a car! We can even help you with fleet disposal if you need a complete refresh!
How to scrap a car in Letchworth
1. Get a quote
Get a price using our online quote generator - all you need is a postcode and vehicle registration number. If you're happy you can accept an offer right away, but we'll call you to discuss your car and see what we can do for you.
2. Provide more details
We'll ask you a few questions about your vehicle to see if we could reclassify it as salvage. Your offers will be based on how you answer these questions - so make sure you answer as honestly as possible otherwise it'll just result in a renegotiation upon collection.
3. Collection and payment
With a price now locked in, we'll put you in touch with one of our trusted collection specialists. They'll come direct to you and, following a brief inspection to ensure your car is as described, it'll be loaded onto the trailer and your money transferred straight into your bank account.

Can I scrap my car in Letchworth?
Yes, we collect scrap cars from anywhere across Letchworth Garden City and the wider SG6 postcode area, with free collection included as standard. Just enter your registration and postcode to get an instant quote, and we’ll arrange collection at a time that suits you.
What are scrap car prices in Letchworth?
Every price we generate for a scrap car will be made using the current rate for scrap metal and the expected weight of your car. We’ll then get a few more pieces of information from you to see if we could make any improvements on those offers or switch to a salvage sale.
What happens to scrap cars?
Scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental rules. Every car we scrap is taken to a specialist Authorised Treatment Facility to be scrapped in line with all legal rules. When a car is scrapped it is returned to its original materials, and from there it will be used again in the manufacturing process.
Can you scrap my MOT failure or insurance write-off?
Absolutely. We see MOT failures and cars that have been written off on an almost daily basis – if not more! No amount of damage is too much for us, so just use our generator now or pick up the phone to see what we can do for you.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Not without the finance company’s permission. They retain a legal interest in the vehicle until the agreement is settled, so you’ll need to contact them for a settlement figure or written consent before we can arrange collection.
How do I tell the DVLA?
Once your car has been collected, we’ll notify the DVLA on your behalf, so you don’t need to do anything yourself. This officially ends your responsibility for the vehicle, including tax and insurance.
Do I get a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, once your car has been recycled you’ll be issued with a Certificate of Destruction. This is your proof that the vehicle has been legally and responsibly disposed of, and that you’re no longer liable for it.
Do I have to be there for the collection?
You do not need to be present if you are unavailable, and can nominate someone to represent you if necessary. The person representing you must be over the age of 18 with ID and proof of address. This is also the case if you are scrapping a car on behalf of someone else, such as an elderly relative or after a bereavement – although you must make this clear whilst getting a quote in this situation.
How do I get the best price for my car in Letchworth?
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.
