What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Scrap cars are sent straight to the scrap yard for crushing, while a salvage vehicle will be stripped of its usable parts first. For this reason salvage vehicles can often generate larger quotes due to the added value of those spare parts.

What are the scrap car prices in Southwark?

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.

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

Cars that have failed their MOT or have been written off by their insurers are some of the most common vehicles we see coming through our system. No matter how badly damaged your car is, from dents to entire pieces missing, we’ll get you a great price.

What happens to scrap cars?

Every scrap car is recycled at an Authorised Treatment Facility in line with government regulations. Almost all of your car will be returned to its raw materials and then reused in the automotive sector. In effect, by scrapping an old car, you’re helping to build a 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.
