We'll find a specialist buyer prepared to break down your car into any reusable parts for spares. Quite often, cars sold in this manner get larger quotes due to the added value in the spare parts.

Don't waste time trying to sell privately, use one of the buyers literally waiting for a car like yours at our disposal today.

Cars aren't the only vehicles that can break or need scrapping. Vans, buses, lorries - whatever you've got we can help you scrap it. Need to offload a fleet of vehicles? We can help with that, too! Just give us a call to learn more.

What are scrap prices like in Lincoln?
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 happens to scrap cars?
Government regulations state that if your car is scrapped then the vehicle will be recycled. Nearly all of the materials will be used to build new cars in what is considered a circular automotive economy.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
A salvage vehicle is one that is to be broken down into parts rather than just sent for scrap. These parts will then be used to help repair other broken down vehicles. As a result, the value of a salvage car is often higher than you’d get for a standard scrap vehicle.
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.
