Services available in Swanley
We do more than just scrapping in Swanley – here’s a quick look at what we can do for you.
Scrap your car
Our base service - you can have your prices in moments and your car sold in hours! Just provide us with some basic details to get your prices and we'll be in touch to discuss the rest.
Sell a damaged car
Don't waste time telling multiple prospective buyers about your car's damages. Tell our team once and we'll get your car sold in an instant. We have specialist buyers waiting for cars just like yours.
Salvage a vehicle
Some cars are too good to scrap and when they are, that's where salvage comes in. We'll sell your car for it to be broken down as spares and repairs. Quite often, salvage prices are even more lucrative than scrap offers.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Size doesn't matter with us. No matter what you're trying to sell, from vans to trucks, we can get you a great price. The service is identical to selling a car, and we can even help you dispose of a fleet of vehicles if needed.
How to scrap your car in Swanley
1. Generate prices
Use our online quote generator to find your initial scrap prices. We'll cross reference this with your local area to ensure you're getting the best offers. We'll then call to discuss your car in more detail and help find a buyer.
2. Describe your car in detail
This is your chance to boost your offers. By describing your car accurately we can generate much more accurate quotes. This will also determine whether we can get you a salvage offer, which could get you even more money.
3. Arrange collection
With an offer locked in, we'll arrange for one of our specialist collection agents to come out and remove your car. Once it's been taken away, every penny you were quoted will be transferred directly into your bank account.

What are scrap prices in Swanley?
Every single scrap car price we quote are calculated by looking at your local area and putting that alongside the current average rate of scrap metal. The weight of your car will have a big influence on your offers, with heavier cars getting bigger prices.
My car has no MOT, can I still scrap it?
Cars with no current MOT are some of the most common vehicles we help scrap. MOT failures, cars with heavy amounts of damage and even those that have been written off are all regularly scrapped.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?
Scrap cars are sent straight to the scrap pile, while salvage vehicles will be broken down into spare parts first. These spare parts mean that there is additional potential value in your vehicle, which could see your prices increase as a result.
What happens to scrap cars?
Your car will be taken to a specialist Authorised Treatment Facility where it will be recycled in line with all government legislation. Cars are turned back into their original materials, which will then be used again in the manufacture of new vehicles.
My car is rare, can it be scrapped?
All cars can be scrapped, whatever they are and wherever they’re from. Our team have seen every car make and model you can imagine, so there’s very little at all that will stump them. Still not convinced? Speak to one of our team who will be able to guide you through every step of the way.
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.
