How to scrap a car in Oswestry

1. Get a quote

Use our instant online valuation tool to get your scrap prices in just 30 seconds. These prices will reflect the current rate of scrap metal and the weight of your vehicle. We'll then give you a call to discuss your car's condition and see if we can sell it for more as salvage.

2. Provide more details

Our call is your opportunity to give us an accurate report on your car's condition. With this information we'll be able to re-calculate your quote to see if you could get more for selling as salvage. This information must be honest as any false information will only result in your price being renegotiated upon inspection at collection.

3. Arrange collection

With a price agreed and locked in, we'll arrange for one of our trusted collection partners to come and pick up your car at a time convenient to you. When your car is safely on the back of the truck and taken away the money will be paid directly into your bank account.

What are the scrap car prices in Oswestry?

All scrap car prices we quote are linked to the weight of your car combined with the current rate for scrap metal in the country. We’ll check the local area to make sure you’re getting the best price around you. We’ll also ask about your car’s condition to see if we might be able to get a salvage offer to compare.

How is salvage different to scrap?

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.

What happens to scrap cars?

As is government regulation, all scrap cars will be recycled. Once sent for scrap, cars are returned to their raw materials. These materials are then regularly used again in the automotive manufacturing. Effectively, this means that by scrapping your old car you’re helping to build new ones.

Are all cars able to be scrapped?

There’s nothing we can’t sell. From small first car hatchbacks to huge family SUVs, we can get a great price whatever it was you used to drive. We can even get a price for foreign imports or specialist sports cars. Just give us a call and we’ll get you a guaranteed top price.

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.
