What are the scrap car prices in Crawley?

Every scrap car price we offer is calculated by how heavy your car is and the current value of scrap metal, whilst also taking into account any local trends. We’ll always check your local area to ensure you’re getting the best price you can get in and around Crawley.

Can you scrap my specific make or model of car?

Absolutely! We’ve scrapped everything, so we can get a quote for all car makes and models. We can even price up those more obscure vehicles. From supercars to family hatchbacks, we’ll scrap it all!

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

In contrast to scrap cars, salvage cars are stripped of their reusable parts before being destroyed. These parts are often used to repair other vehicles and as a result hold more value. This means you can regularly improve the price you’re offered by selling as salvage.

Can you scrap my MOT failure or insurance write-off?

Even if your car has failed its MOT or has been written off by your insurers you can still use our service. Cars like this are some of the most common vehicles we see, so don’t let that get in the way of a great price for your old motor!

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.
