How to scrap a car in Banbury

1. Get a quote

Our quote generator is the perfect place to start. Within seconds you’ll see how much your car could be worth as scrap, based on its weight compared to current prices for scrap metal. We’ll then call you to go over some of the finer details of your car.

2. Provide more details

Our team's call provides you the chance to discuss your car and describe its condition greater detail. This is your chance to potentially boost your price as we'll see if it can be recalculated as a salvage vehicle. It's important that you're honest at this stage, as an honest assessment will guarantee your price on collection.

3. Collection & payment

With an offer now accepted we'll put you in touch with one of our specialist collection experts who will arrange a mutually convenient time to come and remove your car. Following a brief inspection, the car will be loaded onto the trailer and the money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

What are the scrap car prices in Banbury?

Every single quote will be based on the national average for scrap cars and the current rate for scrap metal. The quote will be worked out based on the weight of your vehicle as more metal means more money for the scrapyard. With our extensive network covering Banbury and all of Oxfordshire, we’ll get you an accurate price in moments.

What happens to scrap vehicles?

Scrap cars will be transported to a specialist Authorised Treatment Facility. It will then be recycled in line with all environmental regulations. These recycled parts will then be used again in the manufacturing process.

Can you scrap my specific make and model of car?

We can scrap every car make and model you can imagine. From Fords to Ferraris, we’ve scrapped them all. There is nothing that’s too exotic for us.
Think your car is too good or rare to scrap? Think again! Give us a call to see just what we can scrap.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?

Car salvaging is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t dismantled and recycled, but instead fixed or stripped for parts. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need to know more about the car’s condition.

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.
