Scrap car services in Chatham
Our service extends to more than just scrap vehicles – we can help you no matter the condition of your car! Here’s a brief rundown of what we can do for you.
Scrap your car
The easiest car sale you'll ever come across. Simply put your postcode and registration number into our quote generator and we'll get your prices in seconds. Find an offer you like and you'll be amazed at how quickly your car can be sold.
Salvage your car
Some cars have parts on them that can be used elsewhere, and it's a shame to render them useless just because the car needs scrapping. Sell the car as salvage and these parts will be removed to sell elsewhere - possibly getting you more as a result!
Sell a damaged vehicle
Broken car sitting on your driveway that you're sick of the sight of? Struggling to find a buyer willing to take on the repairs? We have buyers literally waiting for cars just like that. Get in touch and we'll find you a buyer quicker than some sales of fully working cars!
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
We don't just help scrap cars - even if you're looking to get rid of something as big as a coach or a truck, we can help with this. Just give our team a call and we'll help you find a solution. We can also help about fleet disposal if you have a large number of vehicles you need to offload.
How to scrap your car in Chatham
1. Get a quote
Use our online generator to unlock your base prices. These will be calculated with the current rate of scrap metal, local averages and the expected weight of your vehicle.
2. Give us more details
You can choose to accept the base offer, but our team will get in touch to discuss your car. Here you can provide a detailed description of the car to see if you can boost your prices.
3. Accept your best offer
Now we have more details on your car, we can provide an even more accurate price - as long as the description you provide was accurate itself. We'll recalculate if necessary and once you're happy with a price we'll lock that in.
4. Prepare for vehicle removal
Now you've got a price locked in, we'll link you up with one of our vehicle removal specialists. They'll arrange a convenient time to come and get your car absolutely free of charge.
5. Enjoy your money!
That's it! Once the car has been collected payment will be made directly to you via bank transfer. This price will be every penny you were quoted and agreed to - subject to inspection on arrival, which is why an accurate description is important.

How much is my scrap car worth in Chatham?
The good news is that scrap car prices are directly linked to the weight of your car. Got something bigger than a car? We can price and scrap your van too. And those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards in Chatham and the wider Kent county offer competitive prices for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we’ll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.
I have a rare car, can you still scrap it?
We scrap all well known car makes and models across the country. That includes the newest electric cars, non-ULEZ compliant diesels and petrols and older classic cars. We can even scrap imports, modified cars and carry out commercial fleet disposal. We use your registration plate to find the specific model and price according to the manufacturer’s weight of the vehicle. On the rare occasion we don’t find your make and model details we’ll escalate your quote to our specialist team to research the vehicle and find you an unbeatable price.
What is salvaging compared to scrapping?
Car salvaging is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t dismantled and recycled, but instead fixed or stripped for parts. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need to know more about the car’s condition. Find out how to salvage your car.
What happens to scrap vehicles?
If your car is scrapped then the vehicle will be recycled. This means all of the components and parts will be stripped and processed in line with national environmental standards. Nearly all of the materials will be used to build new cars in what is considered a circular automotive economy. Find out more about car recycling.
Can my damaged, broken, missing MOT car be scrapped?
Yes, we can scrap just about any car or van in any condition. We might need to adjust the prices we offer if there are parts of your vehicle missing. But if you have a damaged car, a car with no current MOT or even if it’s an insurance write off we can get you a price and arrange a collection.

How do I get the best price for my car?
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.
