Just put your postcode and vehicle registration number into our online quote generator and we'll present you with your scrap offers. You can choose to accept one there and then, but we will call you to discuss your car in greater detail and assess your options.
2. Describe your car
Our call is your opportunity to boost your offers. Provide an accurate description of the condition of your car and we'll see whether it could qualify for a salvage offer. Ensure your description is accurate, as while we do guarantee the price it remains subject to inspection.

Once you've accepted an offer we'll hook you up with one of our top collection experts who will come to remove your car. Following a brief inspection the car will be loaded onto the back of a trailer and your money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
Scrap vehicles are sent to the scrap yard as they are and recycled accordingly. Salvage vehicles will have some usable parts that can be removed first. These parts can then be sold on as either spares or repairs and can help boost your offer above a standard scrap price.
Can you scrap my car if it's failed my MOT or been written off by my insurers?
Absolutely! Insurance write-offs and MOT failures are some of the most common vehicles we see come through our system. No matter what’s wrong with yours, we’ll get you a place. No level of damage is too much for us.
What are the scrap car prices in Rickmansworth?
Our prices are generated by taking the weight of your car and combining it with the current rate for scrap metal nationwide. This is because a scrap car is effectively sold as a lump of scrap metal, so the heavier it is, the more value it has to a scrap dealer. Salvage prices will also take into account the age and condition of the car, along with what parts can be redeemed from it.
What happens to scrap cars?
All scrap cars are recycled in line with government regulations. Your car will be stripped back and returned to its raw materials, which can then be recycled and reused again in the manufacturing process. Often these materials will help build new cars.
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.
