Sell a car as salvage

Sell your car as salvage instead of scrap if there's a bit of life left in it, and you could bank even more cash! Salvaging helps the environment by reusing your old car's parts rather than simply crushing them, so these cars are usually worth more.

Sell a damaged vehicle

Damaged vehicles are common in the scrap industry of course. That's why our buyers aren't put off by scrapes, dents or even write off damage - and you shouldn't be either. Get a quote for your wrecked car today!

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

We also handle larger vehicles such as vans, trucks, and other commercial vehicles. You can sell them through us with the same simple process. We even scrap entire fleets!

What are the scrap car prices in Redbridge?

All scrap prices, whether in Redbridge, Greater London or nationwide, are based on the weight of your car combined with the current rate for scrap metal. This calculation will give us a base figure, and we’ll then get more detail from you to ensure we’re getting you the very best offers for your car.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Salvage vehicles will be broken down into any reusable parts to either be sold on elsewhere, or possibly even repaired itself to be returned to the road. For this reason, the potential sale value after repairing is much higher, so we can get higher prices as a result.

Can I scrap an MOT failure?

Some of the most common cars we see through our system are MOT failures, so you can absolutely scrap a car that has no valid certificate. We can also help sell a car that’s been written off by your insurer. No level of damage is too much!

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental regulations laid out by the government. Almost all of your car will eventually be returned back to its original materials. These materials will then be used once again in the manufacturing process, often for new cars. In effect, by scrapping an old car you’re helping breathe life into a brand new one.

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.
