What's the differences between scrap and salvage?

Salvage vehicles are stripped of any usable parts before being sent to the scrapyard, unlike their scrap counterparts. This means you could get even more money thanks to the extra potential from the sale of those spare parts.

What are the scrap car prices in Didcot?

Every price we generate is calculated by taking the weight of your car and comparing it to the current going rate for scrap metal nationwide. This ensures that every price we offer is the most up-to-date and therefore accurate offer you’ll see.

What happens to scrap cars?

Scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental rules. Every car we scrap is taken to a specialist Authorised Treatment Facility to be scrapped in line with all legal rules. When a car is scrapped it is returned to its original materials, and from there it will be used again in the manufacturing process.

Can I scrap an insurance write off or a car with no MOT?

Any car, no matter how damaged, can be scrapped. We see cars that have failed their MOTs or have been deemed an insurance write off on an almost daily basis! We’ll get you a great price no matter your car’s history – just give us a call.

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.
