What are the scrap car prices in Shepton Mallet?
Every one of our scrap car prices are calculated by the weight of your car in line with the current rate of scrap metal. We also take into account any local averages, and will always check with buyers near to you to ensure you’re always getting the best price.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
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?
Scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental regulations. These components are often broken down to their original materials and then used elsewhere in the manufacturing process.
Can you scrap an MOT failure or insurance write-off?
We can scrap any car, however badly damaged it might be. Even if you’ve got no current MOT or have an insurance write off, we’re in the perfect position to get you a top quote.
How do I get the best price for my car?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren't destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car's condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that's the price you'll be paid. 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 occasionally result in lower offers, however our team will let you know and share why.
