Absolutely! From sought after supercars to the most boring of family hatchbacks and city cars, we can get great prices for anything. Think your car is too rare to scrap? Give our team a call and they’ll happily guide you through the process.
What happens to scrap vehicles?
By law, all scrap vehicles are recycled in line with environmental regulations. This means your car will be returned to its original raw materials. These materials can then be used again in the manufacture of other new vehicles. In effect, your old car will help build new ones!
What are scrap car prices in Hinckley?
Every scrap car price we generate in Hinckley will be based on its weight and the current rate for scrap metal nationwide. We’ll then look closer at your local area combined with any additional information you’re able to provide to see if we can boost that offer in any way.
How is salvage different to scrap?
Scrap vehicles are sent straight to the crusher. Salvage vehicles are broken down for any reusable parts first. This means you’re potentially going to get even more for your money, as buyers are prepared to pay more if they can sell those parts on again. Find out how to salvage your car.
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.
