Here’s what we can do for you in Radlett

Scrap your car

The easiest and fastest sale you’ll ever experience. With your postcode and vehicle registration we can get you a quote in moments. With our network extending to all four corners of the country, your car could be gone in as little as 72 hours.

Sell your car for salvage

If your car still has some parts that could be reused, you could actually get more money by selling your car as salvage. You may have heard people say "sell your car for spares and repairs" - and this is what we mean! Don't worry, though - we can sort this all for you. We'll find a buyer prepared to strip it of its usable parts so you don't have to.

Sell a damaged car

Selling a damaged car is never easy, especially with the threat of hagglers and time wasters every time someone comes to see the car. Give us a call, explain the issue once, and we'll get you a buyer instantly. No stress, no hassle and importantly - no time wasters!

Scrap a van or commercial vehicle

We don't just help you sell cars, and if you need to offload something a little bigger, we can help with that too! Vans, trucks, buses.. you name it, we'll scrap it! We can even help with fleet disposal if this is something you need. Just get in touch and we'll work our magic.

How to scrap a car in Radlett

1. Get a quote

Simply put your vehicle details into our online quote generator at the top of this page and we'll calculate your scrap offers instantly. Based on the current rate for scrap metal, this will be defined by the weight of your car. You could choose to accept this straight away, but we'll call you to discuss your options anyway.

2. Describe your car

When we call, you're given the opportunity to get an even better offer. We'll ask some questions about your car's condition and this will allow us to see if we could recalculate your offer as salvage. The details you provide must be accurate, as false information will nullify the price guarantee and it will be recalculated upon collection.

3. Collection and payment

With an offer accepted and locked in, we'll send out one of our trusted collection partners to come and remove your vehicle. Once it's loaded up the money will be transferred directly into your account via bank transfer.

What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?

Scrap cars are sent straight to the scrap dealer and put through the disposal process as they are. Salvage cars, however, will be stripped of any parts that can be reused first. These parts can then either be used to repair other vehicles or simply sold as spares. Either way, there’s an extra potential revenue stream for those parts which means your car could be worth more as a salvage car compared to a scrap offer.

What are scrap car prices in Radlett?

All of our scrap prices are generated by taking the current rate for scrap metal and comparing it to the weight of your car. Scrap cars are effectively sold as big lumps of scrap metal, so weight will always be the most important factor to a scrap dealer. If your car is sold as salvage, then its condition, age and other factors will come into play.

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

Absolutely! Chances are if your car has been written off then it’s already heading for a scrap pile anyway, but we may still be able to help you out – just give us a call to discuss your options! MOT failures are also some of the most common vehicles we see as people look to offload a car they can’t afford to repair to go through a follow-up test. No matter how badly damaged your car is, we can get you a great price.

What happens to scrap cars?

Scrap cars are recycled, as per government regulations. The car will be broken down and returned to its raw materials, which will then likely end up being used again in the manufacturing of new 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.
