Scrap car services in Tower Hamlets

Here’s everything we can do for you and a broken car in Tower Hamlets.

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 a damaged car

Don't waste time trying to sell your broken car yourself from your own driveway. Let us do the hard work for you. We have buyers looking for cars just like yours all the time, so know we can link you to someone in a matter of moments.

Sell a car as salvage

Not all scrap cars are totally unusable. In some instances you'll still have parts on your car that still have life (and value) left in them. If this is the case with yours, we'll find a buyer who'll be willing to strip these parts and use them elsewhere, potentially boosting your offers as a result.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

We don't just get great prices for cars, we can help you out even if you're looking to get rid of something slightly on the larger side. If you've got a van, a truck, a bus or anything, we'll find you a buyer instantly - it's exactly the same service as it is for cars!

What are the scrap car prices in Tower Hamlets

Every single scrap car price offered in Cambridgeshire will be based on the current cost of scrap metal, taking into account any local trends. If you’re selling a car as scrap, the price will be largely determined by the weight of the vehicle you’re selling. These prices align with the national average for scrap metal in the UK. We’ll even check locally to see if your car could be sold as salvage to potentially boost your offers.

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental standards and national legislation. Your car will be treated and returned back to its raw materials. These materials will often re-enter the manufacturing industry, and could be used to help build brand new cars. By scrapping your old car, you might help another new one hit the road!

Do you scrap all types of cars?

We can scrap absolutely anything, no matter what it is or where it’s from. No car is too rare, too exotic or too obscure for us. We’ve scrapped everything you can ever think of, so just get in touch and see how much you could get for scrapping your car today.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Scrap vehicles are sent to the scrapyard in their entirety, while salvage vehicles can be stripped of any reusable parts first. These reusable parts can then be used to fix other broken vehicles, or sold on as spare parts. Either way, these parts add extra value to your car which is why salvage vehicles often secure higher offers.

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.
