How to scrap your car in Northamptonshire
1. Get a quote
Use our online quote generator to see your initial prices. These will be based on the weight of your vehicle compared to the current rate of scrap metal nationwide. Our team will then get in touch to discuss your car in greater detail and see if we can boost your prices at all.
2. Give more details
When our team calls, it's important to give them as much detail as possible. The more information we have, the more accurate your offer is going to be. Detail is also very important, as misrepresentation of the condition of your vehicle will only result in your quote being recalculated upon collection.

They'll come out to you at a mutually convenient time and give your car a quick inspection upon arrival. Once everything is in line the car will be taken away and the money transferred straight into your bank account.

What are the scrap car prices in Northamptonshire?
All scrap prices, whether in Northamptonshire 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 happens to scrap cars
All scrap cars must be recycled in line with government and environmental regulations. Your car will be broken down back to its original materials, which can then be reused in the manufacturing process.
How is salvaging different to scrapping?
Salvage vehicles are stripped of any reusable parts before they are sent for scrap. This means they can be sold for spares and repairs, which can help to boost the value of your car when we’re pricing it up. Scrap vehicles, on the other hand, are simply sent straight to the scrap pile.
How do I get the best price for my car?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren't destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car's condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that's the price you'll be paid. 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 occasionally result in lower offers, however our team will let you know and share why.
