Scrap car services in West Wickham

Here’s a quick look at everything we can do for you in West Wickham

Scrap your car

Sell your worn out or damaged car as scrap and turn that old banger into total profit! It's so easy - all we need is your postcode and vehicle registration, then we can find the best prices offered for your car by buyers in your area.

Sell a car as salvage

Sell your vehicle as salvage, instead of scrap, if it's still got a bit of life left in it. Perhaps you can't afford to fix it up to a driveable state, but you know it's too good to be crushed? We'll quote you even more to sell it as salvage!

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!

How to scrap a car in West Wickham

1. Get a quote

Simply enter your details into our online quote form and we'll find a price for your car that's fair, accurate and competitive. All we require to get the ball rolling is your postcode and the reg number of the vehicle you want to sell, then we'll present you with a price in an instant. Not satisfied with the offer? Give us some extra details when prompted and we'll figure out if your car is actually suitable for salvage instead. Salvage cars are worth more than scrap ones!

2. Provide more details

Hoping to go down the salvage route? We don't blame you! See if your car is too good to be scrapped by giving us a bit more information about the vehicle. This allows us to build up a more accurate picture of the car or van so that we can assess its value more accurately. We'll ask you about the vehicle's condition, and whether it still has certain working parts - engine, gearbox, wheels, etc. The more details you provide, the more accurate our pricing will be! Once you're satisfied, you can accept the offer.

3. Arrange collection

With an offer accepted (and the price guaranteed) it's time to arrange collection. Don't worry, we come to you to pick up the car and take it away, but you can choose the time and place. Can't do Mondays? Not a problem. Car's broken down at the local garage? As long as it's accessible for our transport trucks, that's fine! There will be a quick once-over of the vehicle to ensure all the details we received from you are correct, then it'll be taken away. Payment will be processed and paid directly into your bank account.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Whilst scrapping means your car will be crushed and added to the nearest scrap pile, salvaging is a little more in depth. Your car will be stripped down for its usable parts, and these will be sold on to repair other broken vehicles. For this reason, salvage prices are often larger than scrap offers. Find out how to salvage your car.

What are the scrap car prices in West Wickham?

Every scrap car price we generate is based on the weight of your car and the current rate for scrap vehicles nationwide. We’ll also check local trends as well as taking into account the condition of your car if it could be sold as a salvage vehicle.

Can you scrap any vehicle?

We like to think of ourselves as proper car nerds here, and there’s not many car makes and models that we haven’t seen. We’ve scrapped everything from diesel-guzzling trucks to the very latest in hybrid and electric technology. In the very rare occasion that you’ve got something that isn’t on our system then our specialist team will still get you a quote. Whatever your car, you’ll get the same level of service.

What will happen to my scrap car?

Every scrap car will be recycled as per national legislation. Your car will be broken down and returned to its original materials. These materials are often then reused in the automotive manufacturing industry. This means that your old car may actually help build the cars of the future.

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.
