Services available in Sittingbourne
Our service is more than just scrap – much more! Read on to find out just what we can do for you.
Scrap your car
The base of our service since we started - we can get the very best price for your scrap car in your area. By using our extensive network of specialists, we can not only get you a price instantly, but an unbeatable one at that!
Salvage your car
Not all cars are destined to go straight to the scrap pile, even if they're no longer roadworthy. If yours still has a little life left in it, then why not sell it as salvage? This involves breaking the car down into its usable parts that can then be sold on as spares, potentially boosting your offers as a result.
Sell a damaged car
Selling a damaged car can be a stressful experience, particularly trying to avoid time wasters. We have buyers waiting for your car right now, so our service guarantees your time won't be wasted and we'll get you an offer in moments.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Need to offload something a bit bigger than a car? We can sort all of that out too! We've scrapped everything from hatchbacks to buses, so if you need to offload a truck, van or anything larger, just give us a call!
How to scrap a car in Sittingbourne
1. Get a quote
Simply put your vehicle's registration number and your postcode into our quote generator to see just how much your car could be worth. We'll present you with your best offers within moments, before a member of our team will call you to go over your next steps.
2. Provide more details
Our call is your opportunity to boost your offers. Provide us with as much detail as you can and we'll be able to get you an even more accurate offer. Once you're happy and have accepted an offer, we'll put you in touch with our collection specialists. Remember to clear out your car of all personal belongings before the collection takes place, checking for often forgotten items such as parking permits and dashcams.
3. Arrange a collection & get paid
With a time agreed for your car to be collected, our agents will be out to you, so have your V5C logbook ready. We can collect from home, work or even if it's in a garage after failing an MOT. Your collector will give your car a once over just to check that your description was accurate, and providing you have been honest as to its condition you'll be paid every penny you were quoted. Payment is made by bank transfer once the car has been collected, and we'll help with the paperwork. We never pay in cash, as this was made illegal under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

How are scrapping and salvaging different?
Scrap cars are sent straight to the scrap pile, meanwhile salvaging will see your car stripped of any usable parts. Quite often a salvage car will get an even better price than a scrap offer thanks to the greater potential return on investment for buyers by selling these parts as spares and repairs. Read on how to salvage your car.
How much do scrap cars sell for in Sittingbourne?
Every single scrap car price you see is calculated by comparing the current rate for scrap metal and local averages. Scrap vehicle prices are hugely affected by the vehicle’s weight. Heavier cars usually have more metal, which means more money for you. We always check our prices against your local area to make sure that you’re getting the very best quotes we can.
Can my damaged, broken or no-MOT car be scrapped?
Any car, no matter the damage it may have, can be scrapped. If your car has no current MOT or even if it’s been deemed an insurance write-off, our service means you only get the very best quotes. We have a network of specialist collectors at our fingertips, meaning we can come and get your car absolutely free of charge.
Can you scrap my specific make and model?
Of course we can! We scrap all cars, no matter what car make and model you’re looking to get rid of. Whether it’s a bog standard hatchback or an exotic sports car, it doesn’t matter to us! We’ve scrapped it all from Rovers to Rolls-Royces. Still not sure? Give our team a call to see just how much you can get!
What will happen to my scrap car?
All scrap cars are required by law to be recycled, and you’ll get a Certificate of Destruction as proof yours has been. The vast majority of materials from scrap vehicles are often used again in the manufacturing process of new cars. This means that by scrapping your old car, you’re helping another to be built! Find out more about car recycling.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
You’ll need your V5C logbook and photo ID, such as a driving licence or passport. The driver may also ask for proof of address. If anything is missing, tell our team when we call and we’ll talk you through your options.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C logbook?
Yes, in most cases. You’ll need photo ID and proof of address so the buyer can confirm the car is yours. Mention it when we call and we’ll match you with a buyer who can help.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Not until the finance is settled. The finance company owns the car until the agreement is paid off, so it isn’t yours to sell for scrap. Once it’s cleared, or the lender gives written permission, we can get you a quote as normal.
Can I scrap my car if I’ve lost the keys?
Yes. Our collection partners can load a car without keys, so it won’t stop the sale. Let us know when we call, as it can affect a salvage offer and the driver will need the right equipment.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes, you’ll get a refund for any full months of tax left once the DVLA knows the car has been scrapped. It’s paid automatically, so there’s nothing to claim. Part months aren’t refunded.
How do I tell the DVLA I’ve scrapped my car?
The Authorised Treatment Facility that takes your car updates the DVLA once it’s been scrapped. You should also tell the DVLA yourself, online or by post, using your V5C details. Once that’s done, you’re no longer responsible for the car.
Will I get a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes. The Authorised Treatment Facility that scraps your car issues a Certificate of Destruction, usually within seven days. It’s your proof the car has been scrapped legally, so keep it somewhere safe. In some cases, your insurer may ask for a Certificate of Destruction when your car is written-off.
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.
Can I scrap a relative’s car?
If you need to scrap the car of an elderly relative or are looking after the estate of someone who’s recently died, you’ll need to be able to prove that you have the permission to do this on their behalf. Make sure you let our team know from the initial call that this is the situation you’re in.
How do I get the best price for my car in Sittingbourne?
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.
