Simply put your details into our price generator to see your instant offers. These quotes will be based on your car's weight, as scrap largely boils down to the amount of metal a scrap merchant can take from it. Our team will call you afterwards to see if we can boost your offer with some extra details.
2. Describe your car
Make sure you provide our team with as much detail as possible, The more accurate you are in the description, the more accurate they can be in pricing up your vehicle. If the buyer has a fair description of the car, it means there will be no renegotiation on pickup, so make sure you're honest with your assessment.
3. Collection and payment
We provide free collection as standard, so we will put you in touch with one of our trusted collection agents who will come to remove your car at a convenient time. With the car now on the back of a truck and being taken away, your money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

What are the scrap car values in Grimsby?
The value of any scrap car depends on a number of factors, but the most important influencer is its weight. This is because the scrap metal is what holds the most value, and heavy vehicles simply have more metal. Other factors like the age and condition of the car, along with its make and model, do also impact the price, however. The same process is used to value commercial vehicles. Salvage cars are often worth more than scrap.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
Scrap vehicles are simply that, destined to end up on the scrap pile. Salvage vehicles are instead broken down for their parts first. Your offers are likely to be higher for a salvage car purely because there’s a greater potential return on investment for your spare parts.
Can you scrap any car?
Absolutely! We can get a price for any car, no matter what it is you drive. Whether you’ve got a huge SUV or a tiny sportscar, we’ll always be able to find you your most competitive offers in your area. Don’t think your car is too obscure either, while most of our sales may be the most common cars on the road, we’ve scrapped rare and imported vehicles, too!
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.
