How to scrap a car in Harrow

1. Get a quote

Simply enter your vehicle's registration number & your postcode and we'll find buyers in your local area who're on our network and ready to pay good money for your motor. We can present you with a price in seconds, and you can guarantee that price by accepting right away. Or, if you think your vehicle is worth a bit more, you can give us some extra information about it and we'll see if you it can be sold for parts (as salvage) instead. Salvage offers are usually MUCH better than scrap!

2. Provide more details

With some more information about your car, we'll be able to build up a picture of just how much it's worth as salvage. We'll need to know a little bit more about the condition the car is in, and might ask questions about the engine, gearbox, clutch, etc. but don't worry - we keep everything as simple as possible! It might sound like extra hassle, but the process is actually still very quick to get through. Plus, the added couple of minutes it'll take could net you a significantly higher offer for your vehicle!

3. Arrange a collection

Once an offer has been accepted, it's time to arrange collection. You'll now be contacted by the buyer directly and you'll be able to tell them when you want the car picked up, and where from. The vehicle can be collected from other places besides your home, like a garage, and just needs to be accessible for the collector's truck. Similarly, you can choose a day that suits you for the collection to take place. When the car is loaded up, your payment will be processed. It should land in your bank account the same day.

What are scrap car values like in Harrow?

The value of a scrap car is linked directly to the weight of the vehicle, and a few other factors. Therefore, every vehicle will have a different value. Scrap buyers are essentially buying your vehicle for its scrap metal. Heavier vehicles have more metal in them. So, a Transit van is likely to be worth more than a MINI. However, other factors like the age, condition, and specific make & model of the vehicle also play a role in pricing it up – especially if you’re looking to sell it as salvage instead!

What happens to scrap cars?

If your car is scrapped then the vehicle will be recycled. This means all of the components and parts will be stripped and processed in line with national environmental standards. 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?

Scrap vehicles are simply that, destined to end up on the scrap pile. Salvage vehicles are instead broken down for their parts first. Your offers are likely to be higher for a salvage car purely because there’s a greater potential return on investment for your spare parts.

Can I scrap an MOT failure or insurance write-off?

No matter how badly damaged your car is, it can be scrapped. We don’t mind if it’s battered and bruised beyond recognition or just has a couple of scratches, we’ll still get a great price for it. We’ll also be able to help if your car has no current MOT or is deemed an insurance write off. We’ll get you a great price no matter what it’s been through.

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.
