What happens to scrap cars?

Scrap cars will be recycled in line with government legislation and environmental standards. The car will be crushed and the components broken down back into its raw materials. These materials will then be used again in the manufacturing process, often helping build brand new cars.

How is salvage different to scrapping?

While scrap cars are sent straight to the scrapyard before the dismantling process, salvage cars will have some reusable components that are removed first. These components, such as engines or gearboxes, are then saved back as spares or repairs – adding value to your offers.

What are scrap car prices in Royston?

Any scrap offer you get in Royston, like the rest of the country, is based on your vehicle’s weight and the current rate of scrap metal nationwide. We constantly monitor these rates so you can be sure you’re always getting the very best price for your car.

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.
