How to scrap a car in Taunton

1. Get a quote

Use our online valuation tool to find your instant scrap quotes. Our prices are calculated based on the current rate for scrap vehicles and the expected weight of your vehicle. We'll then get in touch to find out some more about your car.

2. Provide more details

When we call, we'll ask you to describe your car so we can tailor your offer more accurately. Be honest, as your answers will determine if we can reclassify your car as salvage or not. Once you're happy with a price, we'll lock it in.

3. Arrange collection

With an offer accepted, we'll put you in touch with one of our collection specialists. When they arrive they'll carry out a quick inspection to ensure your car is as you described, and then they'll load the car up and remove it.

What happens to scrap cars?

Every scrap car is recycled at an Authorised Treatment Facility in line with government regulations. Almost all of your car will be returned to its raw materials and then reused in the automotive sector. In effect, by scrapping an old car, you’re helping to build a new one.

What are scrap car prices in Taunton?

All of our scrap prices are generated using the current national average for scrap metal compared with the weight of your car. We’ll also check locally to see if there are any better offers to be had, or if your car could be sold as salvage.

Can you scrap my specific car?

There is nothing out there that we can’t scrap! We’ve seen every single make and model of vehicle you can think of. From the rarest of exotic supercars to the most common family hatchbacks on the market, we’ve scrapped it all. Still don’t think we can help with your car? Give us a call and we’ll prove you wrong!

Can you scrap cars with no MOT or insurance write-offs?

Absolutely! We don’t need an MOT to sell your car, and if your insurance has written your car off, chances are it’s halfway to the scrap yard already! No level of damage is too much for our service, so don’t hesitate – get a quote today!

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.
