Scrap your car

Our core service and the easiest sale you'll ever come across. Get a price in seconds and we'll find a buyer looking for a car just like yours! Better yet, we'll come and get it for free too!

Sell a car as salvage

Some cars could be deemed "too good to scrap", but that doesn't mean we can't help you out! We'll find a buyer prepared to strip your car for parts to be sold on as spares or to repair other ailing vehicles. This is known as selling and salvage, and can often provide bigger prices than scrap offers.

Sell a damaged car

Broken car sitting on your driveway that you're sick of the sight of? Struggling to find a buyer willing to take on the repairs? We have buyers literally waiting for cars just like that. Get in touch and we'll find you a buyer quicker than some sales of fully working cars!

Scrap a van or commercial vehicle

Bigger vehicles go wrong too, and we're here when they do. Get an unbeatable quote for your van, truck, bus, coach... whatever! We can even help you dispose of a fleet of vehicles if necessary, too! Just give us a call to discuss.

How to scrap your car in Abingdon

1. Get a quote

Fire up our online quote generator and put your postcode and vehicle registration number to see what your instant scrap offers are. We'll give you a call to discuss the finer details, but you can choose to accept the price there and then.

2. Provide more details

Our call gives you the chance to get an even more accurate valuation of your End-of-Life vehicle by providing us with a description of the car in its current condition. Your answers will allow us to assess whether your car could be sold as salvage rather than scrap, so your answers must be accurate. Once you accept an offer, we'll lock that price in down to the final penny.

3. Collection & Payment

Now the part you've been waiting for! We'll send one of our specialist scrap collection partners to come and remove your car at a convenient time for you. Following a brief inspection to ensure the car is as you described, it will be loaded onto the back of their truck and taken away. At this point your money will be paid across directly to you via a bank transfer.

What are the scrap car prices in Abingdon?

Any scrap offer you get in Abingdon, like the rest of the country, is based on your vehicle’s weight and the current rate of scrap metal nationwide. We constantly monitor these rates so you can be sure you’re always getting the very best price for your car.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Scrap cars are sent to the scrapyard in their entirety and scrapped as they are. Salvage vehicles, however, will have any reusable components removed first. If you have parts that could be sold on elsewhere or used to repair other vehicles, you could sell your car as salvage and possibly get an even better price.

Can you scrap any make or model of car?

We scrap all well known car makes and models across the country. That includes the newest electric cars, non-ULEZ compliant diesels and petrols and older classic cars. We can even scrap imports, modified cars and carry out commercial fleet disposal. We use your registration plate to find the specific model and price according to the manufacturer’s weight of the vehicle. On the rare occasion we don’t find your make and model details we’ll escalate your quote to our specialist team to research the vehicle and find you an unbeatable price.

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars are recycled in line with government legislation. In most cases, your car will be stripped down to its original materials which will then be used again in the manufacturing process. It’s not uncommon for materials from old cars to be used in the manufacture of brand new vehicles. Buyers in our network ensure your car is responsibly disposed of.

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.
