What are the prices of scrap vehicles in Cardiff?

Salvaging vs scrapping
Scrapping means your car goes straight to the scrapyard to be crushed and recycled. Salvaging is different—your car is taken apart first, and any working parts are reused. Salvage offers are often higher, as buyers can sell the parts before recycling the rest.
What happens to my scrap car?
We collect your scrap car quickly and safely. Our team takes it to an authorised facility, where experts recycle it following UK rules. Most parts get reused, helping the environment and clearing your space fast. You also get paid promptly.
Can you scrap my exact make/model?
Yes, we can scrap any make and model, no matter how old or unusual. Our service covers all cars, from everyday vehicles to rare models. You do not need to worry about the age, condition, or type. Just enter your details online, and we will handle the rest. Our team will guide you through each step and answer any questions. We also arrange free collection at a time that suits you, making the process quick and easy.
Can I scrap my car even if it's damaged or failed its MOT?
Yes, you can scrap your damaged, broken, or missing MOT car with us. We collect vehicles in any condition and offer fair prices, even if parts are missing. Get a quick quote online and sell your car hassle-free.
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.
