What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental regulations laid out by the government. Almost all of your car will eventually be returned back to its original materials. These materials will then be used once again in the manufacturing process, often for new cars. In effect, by scrapping an old car you’re helping breathe life into a brand new one.

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

Absolutely! Even if your car is so badly damaged that your insurers have written it off, we’ll still be able to find you a buyer! We help sell MOT failures every day, so no matter what’s wrong with your car, you know we’ll be able to help you out!

What are the scrap car prices in Wincanton?

Prices for scrap car in Wincanton are dictated by the national rate of scrap metal. This will be calculated along with the weight of your car, as it’s effectively just a sale of a large lump of scrap metal! If your car could be sold as salvage, we’ll get some more information from you first to ensure the quote is as accurate as possible.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Unlike scrap vehicles, salvage vehicles will be stripped of usable parts before they are confined to the crusher. These parts can then be sold on as spares for other vehicles. This is why salvage vehicles can often get a higher quote than simple scrap vehicles.

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.
