Scrap your car
We have an extensive network of approved scrap yards around the country just waiting for a car like yours. Using national averages, we’ll get you the very best price for your car based on its weight, taking into consideration any local trends.
Sell your car for salvage
Some cars are too good to go straight to the scrap yard. If your car has any reusable parts then it could either be sold to be broken down into spare parts, or alternatively it could be repaired and returned to the road.

How to scrap a car in Corby
1. Get a quote
All we need is your postcode and vehicle registration, and from there we’ll get you a quote. A basic price is offered immediately, but with a quick phone call you can potentially get even more money for your vehicle.
2. Choose your offer
You should now have plenty of offers on the table, from the basic scrap price to a potential salvage profit. Once you’ve decided which one to go for, we’ll put the wheels in motion to get the car collected and out of your hands.
3. Arrange collection
Once you’ve accepted the offer, we’ll put you in touch with one of our collection experts. From there they’ll arrange a mutually convenient time to come and remove your vehicle. Have your V5C logbook to hand for the collector if you have it, though we can still collect if it has gone missing. Once it’s gone, the money will be paid directly into your bank account - cash payments are not allowed due to the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

We cover the whole of Corby and the county of Northamptonshire, including Oakley Vale, Weldon, Cottingham and Oakley Road. Whether you’re near the old industrial estates and Priors Hall Park or further south near Great Oakley or Pipewell, we can always come to you. We’ll try to find a local NN17 or NN18 Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) near you so we can get your car as quickly as possible and help your local economy at the same time. The ATF will issue your Certificate of Destruction once the car has been processed.

Can I scrap my car in Corby?
Yes. We arrange scrap and salvage collections across the whole of Corby and the NN17 and NN18 postcodes, from Oakley Vale and Great Oakley through to Weldon and Cottingham. Enter your reg and postcode and you will see offers from buyers covering your area in seconds. Collection is free wherever you are.
How is salvage different to scrap?
Salvage vehicles will be broken down into any reusable parts to either be sold on elsewhere, or possibly even repaired and 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.
What are scrap car prices in Corby?
All scrap prices that we generate are based on national averages for scrap cars and the expected weight of your vehicle. We’ll also take some more details about your specific car to see if we can boost those offers at all.
What happens to scrapped cars?
All end-of-life scrap cars will be recycled. This is a legal requirement and will follow specific environmental regulations. Every scrap yard we work with is an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), so you can be safe in the knowledge that your car will be depolluted and recycled in line with all rules and regulations. The ATF will issue a Certificate of Destruction once your car has been processed, which is your proof that it is off the road for good.
Can you scrap my specific make or model of car?
We can scrap cars of every make and model, from small best-selling hatchbacks to exotic sports cars. If you’ve got a rare exotic import we can help with that, too! We’ve scrapped everything, and if you think yours might be too obscure, we’re here to tell you you’re wrong!
What documents do I need to scrap my car in Corby?
Your V5C logbook and photo ID are the main two. If the V5C has gone missing we can usually still go ahead, using proof of address and something linking you to the car, such as an MOT certificate or service history. The buyer takes care of the DVLA side once the car has been collected.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes. Once the DVLA has been told the car is scrapped, any full months of tax left on it are refunded automatically. The refund goes to the registered keeper at the address on the V5C, so it is worth checking that is up to date before collection day.
Can I scrap a car that still has finance on it?
Not until the finance is settled, or your lender agrees to it in writing. The finance company keeps a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends, so the car is not yours to scrap yet. Speak to your lender first, then come back for a quote.
What if I have lost the keys?
That is not a problem. Missing keys will not stop a collection and will not change the price you were quoted. The collection team have the kit to load a car that cannot be started or steered. Just mention it on the call so nobody is caught out on the day.
Can I scrap a car owned by a deceased relative?
Yes, and the process works in a similar way to scrapping your own car. You will need to prove that you are in some way connected to the deceased. Having a copy of their death certificate will help with the legalities of ownership, as will photo ID that matches up with the details on the V5C logbook.
What happens when I scrap a car that is on SORN?
The SORN record will be closed when the DVLA is told that the vehicle has been scrapped.
Do I need to be there when the car is collected?
Not necessarily. Someone else can meet the driver on your behalf as long as they’re over 18, can get to the car and have the paperwork and keys with them. Just let us know in advance so the collection can be booked in properly.
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.
