Scrap car services in Nottinghamshire

Everything that we can do for you across the Nottinghamshire county

Scrap my car

Our core service guarantees you the very best price for your scrap car no matter where you are. Simply put your postcode and vehicle registration into our generator and you'll go through the easiest car sale you'll have ever seen.

Sell my car as salvage

If your car is too good to go straight to the scrap pile, you could sell it as salvage. Instead of heading straight to the crusher, it will be stripped of what’s still working and these parts are then sold on as spare parts. Because of this extra sale opportunity, salvage quotes regularly offer more than a scrap one.

Sell a damaged vehicle

We know that selling damaged cars can be stressful, but not when you sell with us! Don’t risk dealing with time wasters and instead just give us all of your details and we’ll do the hard work for you. We have buyers waiting for cars just like you, and can have your troubled car sold in an instant.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Looking to scrap something a little larger than a car? Well we can help with that too! Even if you've got a fleet of vans, trucks, coaches (or even bigger) that needs updating, we can help get rid of them all at once! Just give us a call.

What are the scrap car prices in Nottinghamshire?

All of the scrap car prices we generate are calculated by taking the weight of your car and lining that up with the current selling rate for scrap metal in the UK. This means you know that you’ll be getting the most up-to-date prices for your car, whatever it is and wherever you are.

We’ll also compare your offers to others in your nearby locations, meaning you’ll get the very best price across Nottinghamshire.

Is my car too damaged to scrap?

There is no amount of damage that makes a car “unscrappable”. Any car can be scrapped, whatever has happened to it. We can even get great offers for cars that have failed their MOT, and even those that have been deemed an insurance write off. We’ll get you a great price no matter your car’s history.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?

While both are quite similar, the biggest difference is that salvage vehicles are stripped of reusable parts before being taken to the scrap pile. All these parts will then be sold on elsewhere as spare parts or used to repair other damaged vehicles. Because of this extra potential sale, salvage offers are often greater than a scrap quote.

What happens to scrap cars?

Due to government and environmental regulations, the majority of all scrap vehicles must be recycled. You car will be broken down and its parts refined back to the original materials. These materials will then be reused, most likely to help build newer vehicles in what is known as a circular economy.

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.
