Scrap car services in Whitstable
We provide services for all manner of vehicles in Whitstable, Kent and the rest of the UK. Here’s a breakdown of what we can do.
Scrap your car
Selling a car for scrap with us couldn't be easier! Unlock your prices in 30 seconds by using our online generator and we'll get your car sold for you much faster than you'd do by calling around yourself!
Sell a car for salvage
If your car still has some life left in it, you could sell it as salvage. This means that it will be broken down into the usable parts, which can then be sold on elsewhere as spares or repairs. Often, salvage cars sell more than their scrap equivalents.
Sell a damaged car
Don't waste time with time wasters. We'll get you a great price in moments no matter what the damage is in your car. From small dents and scratches to total write-offs - we'll get you a price no matter what.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Need to get rid of a van or something even bigger? We'll do that, too! We can help any vehicle in any condition. We've even helped companies dispose of entire fleets of outdated vehicles, so just give us a call to see what we can do for you.
How to scrap your car in Whitstable
1. Unlock your prices online
Use your postcode and vehicle registration number to generate your basic scrap quotes with our online system. These prices will be based on the current rate for scrap metal both locally and nationwide. We'll then call you to discuss your car in greater detail.
2. Describe your car in detail
Our phone call is your opportunity to potentially boost your offers and see if your car could sell for salvage rather than scrap. Provide an accurate description of your car and your price will be locked in from this point forward.
3. Accept the best offer
You'll be given a selection of offers from our trusted buyers. At this point its up to you to decide who you want to sell with. We'll do all the research for you, not only checking your local offers but any that might better elsewhere in the country.
4. Arrange a collection
Once you've accepted your preferred offer, we'll put you in touch with a dedicated collection agent. Every trusted collector we work with specialises in dealing with scrap and salvage vehicles, so they'll be able to pick up your car no matter its condition.
5. Receive your money!
The collection agent will give your car a once over just to ensure it is as you described. Providing your car matches your assessment, you'll be paid every penny you were quoted. This will be transferred directly into your bank account once your car has been collected.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?
Salvage vehicles will be broken down into any usable parts before they are send to the scrap pile. These parts can then be sold on for spares or repairs, which potentially boosts your offers as a result. We work with salvage experts so we’ll always try to see if we can get you a salvage offer alongside your scrap ones.
How much is my car worth in Whitstable?
Every single scrap car quote we generate is calculated using the current going rate for scrap metal, taking into account any local averages. We’ll always check the area around you to make sure you only get the very best prices possible.
My car is badly damaged and has no MOT, can I scrap it?
Of course you can! Any car can be scrapped no matter the extent of any damages it may have. Don’t let having no current MOT stop you, either! We can get great prices for MOT failues, and even those that have been written off by your insurers. Whatever the problem is, we’ll get you a great price.
What happens to scrap vehicles?
All scrap cars will be recycled due to government legislation and national environmental standards. Nearly all of the materials will be recycled to be used in the building of brand new cars. This results in what is considered a circular automotive economy. Find out more about car recycling.
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.
