What is salvaging compared to scrapping?
Scrap cars are sent directly to Authorised Treatment Facilities and crushed. Salvage vehicles, on the other hand, will be broken down into any reusable parts first. Sometimes the car itself may actually be repaired and returned to the road, otherwise it will be used as spares and repairs.
Can you scrap my specific make or model of car?
We can scrap every car you can think of, no matter what make or model it might be. From rare foreign imports to the most basic of everyday vehicles, we’ve seen it all and scrapped it all.
My car has no MOT, can it still be scrapped?
Absolutely. We see MOT failures and cars that have been written off on an almost daily basis – if not more! No amount of damage is too much for us, so just use our generator now or pick up the phone to see what we can do for you.
What are the scrap car prices in Melton Mowbray?
Every price we generate for a scrap car will be made using the current rate for scrap metal and the expected weight of your car. We’ll then get a few more pieces of information from you to see if we could make any improvements on those offers or switch to a salvage sale.
How do I get the best price for my car?
Many older or written-off cars aren’t destined for the scrap heap. Some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Ensure you describe the car’s condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees—our quotes always include free collection.
But the single most important factor to getting the very best price for your scrap car is to speak directly with one of our advisors! After you accept a quote online, we'll give you a call to confirm details and schedule collection. Use this call to share any info that might boost your offer and get the highest payout possible.
Are you prices really guaranteed?
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 result in lower offers.
