What are scrap car prices in West Sussex?

Every car will have its own unique value when it comes to a scrap price. This will largely be dependent on the current rate of scrap metal and the weight of your car, although its condition, age and make or model can also have an impact on what its worth. We’ll check the local area to see if you could get any more cash as salvage.

What happens to scrap vehicles?

All scrap cars will be recycled. This is a legal requirement and will follow specific environmental regulations. Every scrap yard we work with is an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), so you can be safe in the knowledge that your car will be recycled in line with all rules and regulations.

Is salvaging the same as scrapping?

Not exactly. Scrap cars will be sent straight to the crusher, while salvage cars will have anything reusable removed first. This means that if your car still has a working gearbox but everything else has failed around it, that will be removed to be used as a spare elsewhere. Alternatively, if one mechanical issue has caused your car to be written off, a salvage buyer may decide to take on that repair job themselves and get your old car back on the road.

Can I scrap an MOT failure or insurance write off?

Of course you can! Any car can be scrapped, and even if you’ve got no MOT or it’s been written off we can still absolutely get you a great price. Our team regularly see cars like this, and if anything they’re some of our most common callers!

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.
