How much will I get for my scrap car in Ashford?
Every single one of our scrap car prices are based on the current average price of scrap metal across the country. When you are selling a car for scrap, the most important factor is its weight, as you are essentially selling a large lump of scrap metal.
We check prices in the local area, so you can be sure you’ll be getting the very best price in Ashford and the rest of Kent.
How are cars scrapped?
All scrap cars are put through a strict recycling process in line with government legislation. The vast majority of old cars will be returned to their original materials and used again in the manufacturing process. This means your old car can help put brand new ones back on the road!
We only work with buyers and scrap yards that ensure your car is responsibly disposed of.
Is my car too damaged to be scrapped?
Absolutely not! Any car can be scrapped no matter how badly damaged it may be. Our service guarantees the very best price, even for cars with no current MOT or that have been written off by your insurers. Whatever the problem is, we’ll get you a great price.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
While scrap cars are sent straight to the crusher, salvage cars will be taken apart first to be broken down into useable parts. These parts can then be sold on as spares or used to repair other damaged vehicles. Due to the extra revenue possibilities of selling spare parts, salvage vehicles often gain larger quotes than scrap vehicles.
What makes and models of cars can be scrapped?
All of them! Our sales team have helped sell every single car make and model you can imagine! Whether you’re looking to scrap one of the best selling cars in history or a very rare exotic special, we’ll get you the very best price!
No car is too obscure for us, so just give our team a call and we’ll get your quotes for you in moments.
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.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
You’ll need to settle the finance, or get written permission from the finance company, before the car can be scrapped. The lender has a legal interest in the vehicle until the agreement ends. Contact them for a settlement figure first, then come back to us for your quote.
Can I keep my personalised number plate?
Yes you can, however you must make sure you follow the relevant processes first, otherwise it could be lost forever. You’ll need to transfer it to another vehicle or put it on retention to avoid it being lost when your car is put through the crusher.
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.
Can I scrap a broken car, or one with no MOT?
We’ll scrap a car no matter how badly damaged it might be, even if it’s a non-runner. We’ve scrapped cars with no current MOT and insurance write-offs so we’re certain we can scrap yours, too! Use our quote generator for an instant valuation. Or, call us on 03333 44 99 50. This number costs the same as a standard landline call and is open seven days a week.
How do I get the best price for my car in Ashford?
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.
