Scrap car services in Ramsgate

Everything we can do for you and a broken old car in Ramsgate

Scrap your car

Get an instant price for your old car by using our system. Not only will the quotes come through in moments, we'll even get your car sold and removed in just a handful of days - the fastest and easiest car sale you'll ever see!

Sell a damaged car

We know that selling cars with damage can be a tiresome task, so instead of trying to explain the issue to every single interested party let us find you a buyer instantly. We have specialists waiting for a car just like yours, so don't delay and find your quote now.

Sell a car as salvage

Some cars are too good to just be thrown on the scrap heap. If your car still has some life left in it, you could sell it for spares or repairs - or salvage, as we call it. This will see your car stripped of its usable parts first, often getting you a better quote as a result.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Looking to sell something on the larger side of motoring? We've scrapped vans, trucks, buses and almost all commercial vehicles you can think of. Get in touch today and our team will guide you through the process. We can even help with fleet disposal if this is needed.

How are scrap cars in Ramsgate valued?

Scrap cars in Ramsgate are valued the same way we value them all over the UK. It’s the metal that’s important, so the weight of your vehicle is a primary factor in determining what it’s worth as scrap. Why is the metal important? Simply put, when it’s crushed the buyer will be left with a large chunk of scrap metal which they’ll then sell. Heavy vehicles are made from more metal. This is why it can be very lucrative to scrap an old van!

What happens to scrap cars?

Scrap cars are recycled in line with government regulations. The majority of your car will be returned to its original materials. These materials are then reused in the manufacturing process – often for new vehicles.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

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.

Are there any cars that can't be scrapped?

Absolutely not! We can scrap absolutely any car imaginable. From the biggest of SUVs to the smallest of sports cars and everything in between. Electric or diesel, petrol or hybrid, we can get you a great price no matter what it is you drive

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.
