How to scrap a car in Hackney
1. Get a quote
Use our instant quote generator to see your initial scrap prices based on the weight of your vehicle. These are just an initial valuation, which you can choose to accept, but we'll call you to discuss your car in greater detail and see if we can boost those offers for you.
2. Provide more details
When we call, make sure you provide an accurate description of your car as this will allow us to reassess the offers and see if we could boost it, or even find a salvage quote instead, We'll guarantee your quotes at this stage, but remember the price is only guaranteed if your answers were honest and accurate.
3. Arrange collection
With a price agreed and locked in, we'll put you in touch with one of our trusted collection specialists who will arrange to come and pick up your car at a convenient time or you. This service is free, and following a brief inspection to ensure the car is as you described, it will be loaded and taken away. At this point the money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

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?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren't destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car's condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that's the price you'll be paid. 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 occasionally result in lower offers, however our team will let you know and share why.
