What are the scrap car prices in Hackney?

Every scrap car price we offer is calculated in line with the national average and current rate for scrap metal, calculated alongside the weight of your car. Salvage vehicles will also take into account what your car is, how old it is and the condition it is in.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

In contrast to scrap cars, salvage cars are stripped of their reusable parts before being destroyed. These parts are often used to repair other vehicles and as a result hold more value. This means you can regularly improve the price you’re offered by selling as salvage.

Can you scrap any make or model of car?

Absolutely! We can find a scrap or salvage buyer for absolutely every car out there. Whether it’s a big gas guzzling US-style pickup truck or something more suited to the small British city streets, we can scrap it all! Just get in touch and see how much your old car could be worth.

What happens when a car is scrapped?

All scrap cars will be recycled. This is a legal requirement and will follow specific environmental regulations. Every scrap yard we work with is an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), so you can be safe in the knowledge that your car will be recycled in line with all rules and regulations.

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.
