Scrap your car

Our core service will get you the easiest sale you've ever seen. Just get a price from our online generator and we'll sort a buyer in an instant. Your prices are generated from scrap averages and we'll get a buyer local to you to come and collect it.

Sell your car as salvage

Did you know you could actually make more money from your car by selling as salvage rather than scrap? If your car is sutiable, it will be broken down and sold on as spare parts instead of just crashed, earning you more as a result. Speak to our team to see if your car could be suitable.

How to scrap a car in Hillingdon

1. Get a quote

Use our online generator to see your initial scrap quotes. These will be calculated using the weight of your vehicle compared to the current rate for scrap metal nationwide. You can choose to accept this price, but we'll call you to see if we could get even more out of your car.

2. Provide more details

Our call gives you a chance to boost your offers. Provide an accurate description of your car on this call and we'll look to see if we can reassess your car as a salvage vehicle, which usually gets a slightly higher price. Remember to be honest, as false information will only result in the price being reassessed at collection. After you accept a price, we'll lock it in.

3. Arrange collection

With your offer now accepted we'll put you in touch with one of our collection specialists. Our network spreads across the entire nation so you're never too far from a free collection service. Following a quick inspection to ensure the car is in the condition you described, it will be loaded up and taken away. Your money will then be sent to you via bank transfer.

What are scrap car prices like in Hillingdon?

Your prices will depend on a number of factors, mostly centred around the weight of your car. All of the scrap car prices provided by our generator take into account the current rate for scrap metal in London. We don’t just check prices around Hillingdon, either. With agents working across the entire country, we’ll check the entire county to see if you could get an even better price elsewhere.

What happens to scrap vehicles?

All scrap cars are recycled in line with government regulations. Unless your car is classed as salvage, it will be sent straight to the scrapyard as is. The professionals will strip the car down and return it back to its original raw materials, which can then be used again in the manufacturing process. Often, scrap cars actually help the build process of new cars.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

The biggest difference is that your vehicle will be broken apart before it is taken to the scrap pile. All the reusable parts will be kept aside to be sold on elsewhere or used to repair other damaged vehicles. Because of this extra potential return, you will regularly find that a salvage price is greater than a scrap quote.

Can you really scrap any car?

Of course we can! We’ve scrapped pretty much every single car make and model there is out there. We’ve seen everything from the rarest of imports to the most common hatchback seen in a supermarket car park.

Still think your car is too rare or special to scrap? Speak to our team and they’ll show you just what you can get. Find your best offers through our generator to see just how much your car could be worth.

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.
