Scrap car services in Greenwich

Here’s everything we can do for you in and around Greenwich.

Scrap your car

Get a quote for your car by using the online valuation tool found on this page. You'll see your quotes in moments and we can even get your car sold and removed in as little as 72 hours!

Sell a car as salvage

Some cars are far too good to go straight to the scrap pile. One major problem shouldn't render the entire car useless. By selling as salvage it'll be stripped of its usable parts, which can then be sold on as spares or repairs.

Sell a damaged car

Don't waste time trying to sell a broken vehicle from your driveway on your own. Give us the lowdown on what's wrong with your car and we'll find you a buyer instantly. We have people looking for a car just like yours, so we know we can get it sold much faster than you would privately.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

No matter the size of your vehicle, we'll get it sold in an instant. Our service for vans, trucks, buses or anything is just as quick and easy as it is for cars, so don't delay! We can even get a fleet of vehicles sold too - just get in touch and we'll do the rest.

How to scrap a car in Greenwich

1. Get a quote

Start by providing your postcode and vehicle registration number through our online quote generator and you'll be shown your initial scrap prices. These will be based on scrap metal prices and the weight of your car. After seeing some base quotes, we'll give you a call to get a better idea on your specific circumstances.

2. Provide more details

When you call we'll ask you to accurately describe your car. Your answers will determine the value of your recalculated offers (and whether or not we can consider a salvage sale), so make sure you're honest. Don't be tempted to exaggerate the condition of your car to get a better price, as this will only result in recalculation upon collection.

3. Arrange collection

With an offer accepted we'll guarantee that price and put you in touch with one of our trusted collection specialists. They'll come out straight to you at a convenient time and take your car away following a brief inspection to ensure it is as you described. Once it's been removed you'll be paid directly into your bank account.

What are the scrap car values in Greenwich?

All of our scrap prices are generated using the current national average for scrap metal compared with the weight of your car. We’ll also check locally to see if there are any better offers to be had, or if your car could be sold as salvage.

What are the differences between scrap and salvage?

Scrap cars are sent straight to the scrap dealer and put through the disposal process as they are, with nothing being taken from them. Salvage cars, however, will be stripped of any parts that can be reused first. These parts can then either be used to repair other vehicles or simply sold as spares. Either way, there’s an extra potential revenue stream for those parts which means your car could be worth more as a salvage car compared to a scrap offer.

Can you scrap any make or model of car?

Absolutely! We can scrap any car make and model, so whatever’s sitting on your driveway is great for us. Whether it’s an old Citroen 2CV or a brand new Tesla Model 3, we can get it sorted.

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.
