Scrap car services in Wellingborough
We do more than just scrapping cars! Here’s a look at the services we can provide.
Scrap your car
Enjoy the easiest car sale you've ever seen. Get a price in 30 seconds by using our online quote generator and we'll put you in touch with a buyer. Your car could be gone in as little as 72 hours!
Sell a car as salvage
Some cars are too good to go straight to the scrap yard, and we're here when they are! We'll get your car sold as salvage, meaning it'll be broken down to be used as spares and repairs, netting you more as a result!
Sell a damaged car
Selling broken good is always tricky, especially as you know you're going to be fighting off hagglers. Give us an accurate description of your car and we'll get a price and an offer in moments. No time wasters here!
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Don't let your business suffer because your van's broken down. Our service is just as quick for trucks, buses or anything as it is for cars. Follow the same quote process and we'll get in touch to get you an unbeatable price with zero hassle.

Use our quote generator at the top of this page to find your initial offers. All you need to see your prices is a postcode and vehicle registration. Once you've been sent some offers, we'll get in touch to discuss your car in greater detail and finalise any further offers.
2. Provide more details
When we call you're given an opportunity to explain the exact condition of your car. Make sure you are as accurate as possible to avoid any recalculations following the inspection at collection. Providing your description was accurate, your price will be locked in from this point on.

What happens to scrap cars?
Cars, by law, are recycled when they are sent for scrap. This means they are broken down and returned to their original materials. Most of the time, these materials are used again in the manufacture of brand new cars. Effectively, your scrap car will help build a new one!
What is salvaging?
Salvaging means your car will be stripped of any reusable parts before it goes through the depollution and recycling process that scrap cars go directly to. This is also known as selling “for spares and repairs”, as your car could find itself repaired or at the very least donating its former parts to cars in need.
What are scrap car prices in Wellingborough?
Every price generated will be in line with national rates for scrap metal and the weight of the car itself. We’ll then take into account the condition of your particular car. For that reason we can’t give a catch-all estimate, and the best thing to do is get a quote and speak to our team!
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.
