How is salvaging different to scrapping?

Whilst scrapping means your car will be crushed and added to the nearest scrap pile, salvaging is a little more in depth. Your car will be stripped down for its usable parts, and these will be sold on to repair other broken vehicles. For this reason, salvage prices are often larger than scrap offers. Find out how to salvage your car.

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars are recycled. This is a legal requirement. In many cases, you’ll find your car will actually be turned back into raw materials to help build brand new vehicles. Find out more about car recycling.

Can I scrap an MOT failure or insurance write-off?

No matter the condition your car is in, or any level of damage it may have sustained, you can absolutely scrap it. Cars with no current MOT or has that have been deemed insurance write offs are all able to use our service. There’s very little lot we won’t scrap!

What are the scrap car prices in Shrewsbury?

The good news is that your scrap car value is directly linked to the weight of your car. And those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards in Shropshire offer competitive prices for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we’ll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.

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.
