Scrap Car Comparison Mascot Scrap car services in Tring

We don’t just scrap vehicles, we do much more! Here’s what we can do for you in Tring.

Scrap your car

Get a price in seconds through our generator and enjoy the easiest vehicle sale you've ever seen. We'll get someone out to collect your car straight away, so that troubled old car could be gone in just a couple of days!

Sell a car for salvage

Some cars are simply too good to go straight to the scrap pile, but don't think we're not interested in those! We'll still get you a buyer quickly and for a great price, but rather than scrap we'll find you a salvage offer. This means the car will be stripped of its reusable parts first - and usually gets a better price, too!

Sell a damaged car

Selling damaged vehicles can be a long and tiring process, especially if you're trying to do it privately from your driveway. Remove the threat of hagglers and time wasters, and the constant repetition of explaining the problems by speaking to us just one time. We'll take those details and find you a buyer offering a great price. Much easier than doing it yourself!

Scrap a van or commercial vehicle

We don't just help sell cars, and if you've got something a little bigger we can help you out just as simply! The service remains the same whether you're scrapping a van, truck, bus or car - just get a quote and we'll get you a buyer. It's really that simple!

Scrap Car Comparison Mascot How to scrap your car in Tring

1. Get a quote

Simply put your vehicle details and postcode into our online quote generator and we'll put your scrap offers in front of you within seconds. You can choose to accept one of these offers, but we will also call you to see whether we can further improve that quote with a few extra details.

2. Describe your car

Our call is your chance to let us get an accurate view of your car's condition. We'll ask some questions about the car and will assess whether we could find any better offers from salvage buyers rather than scrap. It's important to be honest on this call, as while we do guarantee your offer once accepted, it remains subject to inspection.

3. Collection and payment

With an offer now in the bag, we'll send out one of our trusted collection agents to come and remove your car. Following a brief check over of your car to ensure it is as you described, it will be loaded up on the trailer and the money transferred directly into your bank account.

What are the scrap car prices in Tring?

Every scrap car price we generate is based on the weight of your car and the current rate for scrap vehicles nationwide. We’ll also check local trends as well as taking into account the condition of your car if it could be sold as a salvage vehicle.

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

Of course you can! There’s no such thing as too much damage here, and insurance write-offs or MOT failures are our bread and butter! We see MOT failures on an almost daily basis, and chances are your insurance write-off will be heading towards a scrap yard in its near future anyway. Get in touch to see if there’s anything we can do to get you an even better offer.

Can you scrap my specific make or model of car?

There’s no car that we can’t scrap, and that’s a promise. No matter how rare or exotic it might be, we’ve seen it all and we’ve scrapped it all. We have experts waiting to take your call, all of whom have their own specific sets of knowledge. Whatever you’ve got – from superminis to supercars – we’ll get the very best price for it, guaranteed.

What is the difference between scrap and salvage?

Scrap vehicles are taken to the scrap yard as they are, in full, and disposed of accordingly. A salvage vehicle will instead have any reusable components removed first which can then be used to repair other cars or simply sold on as they are. This extra step potentially boosts your offers thanks to the extra value in spare parts.

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.
