Scrap your car

The most hassle-free vehicle selling experience ever. Simply get a price online using our quick generator and we'll hook you up with a sale before you know it. With a national network of collectors as well as buyers, you'll also get a free collection as part of the deal.

Sell a car as salvage

Some cars are simply too good to go straight to the scrapyard, and we're still perfectly placed to help you out if that's the case. 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.

Sell a damaged vehicle

Selling broken good is always tricky, especially as you know you're going to be fighting off hagglers. Give us an accurate description of your car and we'll get a price and an offer in moments. No time wasters here!

How to scrap a car in Brent

1. Get a quote

Put your postcode and vehicle registration into our quote generator to find your prices instantly. These will be scrap prices based on the weight of your car and the current rate for scrap metal nationwide. We'll then get in touch to discuss the finer details and see if there's anything else we can do for you.

2. Provide more details

Our call is your opportunity to get an even better price. We'll ask you some questions about the condition of your car, which will allow us to assess whether or not you could qualify for a salvage offer. Your price is guaranteed, but this will be down to the accuracy of your description - the price is subject to inspection at collection.

3. Arrange collection

With a price now locked in, we'll put you in touch with one of our trusted collection partners who will arrange a time with you to come and remove your car. Once it's gone, you'll be paid - this will be direct into your bank account so it should be with you on that same day.

What are scrap cars worth in Brent?

Prices for scrap cars in Brent, like the rest of the country, are dictated by the current rate for scrap metal and the weight of your car. You can improve your offers, however, by being detailed with your descriptions and allowing us to see if we could sell the car as salvage rather than scrap.

What happens to scrap cars?

When you sell your car as scrap, it’ll be crushed and recycled. Legally, professional scrap vehicle specialists must recycled almost every bit of your car. We only work with dealers who follow these rules.

Can you scrap an insurance write-off?

Absolutely! Write-offs and MOT failures are some of our most common vehicles, and we regularly help owners of vehicles just like this get the very best price for their cars. Just get a quote today and we’ll find you a buyer instantly.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Salvage vehicles will be stripped down before they are sent to the scrap pile. Any reusable parts will be kept aside and either sold on as spares or used to repair other damaged cars. The added value in these parts mean that salvage offers are often larger than scrap ones.

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.
