How to scrap a car in Tonbridge
1. Get a quote
A postcode and vehicle registration is all you need to unlock your base prices. These prices will be calculated using current rates for scrap metal and local averages. You could accept one of these offers if you like, but you can also provide more detail to see if we can get you even more.
2. Provide more details
We'll call you to talk in more detail about your car. This is your opportunity to boost your price as we'll see if there is any possibility for a salvage sale as opposed to going straight to scrap. We have specialists in every angle, so we'll always get you a great price no matter what.
3. Accept an offer and say goodbye!
With an offer accepted, we'll put you in touch with one of our trusted collection agents who'll come and get your vehicle.

How is salvaging different from scrapping?
Salvage cars are broken down into their usable parts first, rather than just sent straight to the scrap pile. This means that you could actually get more for your vehicle thanks to the potential additional sale of repaired vehicles or spare parts. Learn how to salvage your car and get the best value in Tonbridge.
Can my damaged, broken, failed MOT car be scrapped?
Of course you can scrap a damaged or broken car in Tonbridge! Just as you can anywhere in the UK. Even if your car is an insurance write off or hasn’t passed its MOT test – we’ll easily come and get it directly from you.
Can you scrap my specific make and model?
Absolutely! We’ve scrapped everything from supercars to SUVs, so you can be sure that we can get a quote for all car makes and models. Never make the mistake of thinking your car is too obscure for our service. Even if it’s an incredibly rare foreign import, we’ll get you a price!
What are the scrap car prices in Tonbridge?
All of our scrap car prices in Tonbridge and the rest of the UK are based on the weight of the vehicle you’re selling. This will then be calculated with the national average for scrap metal in the UK and any local prices in the wider Kent. We’ll even check locally to see if your car could be sold as salvage to potentially boost your offers.
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.
