Sell a car as salvage
Car too good to scrap? We'll still help by selling it as salvage, where your car will be stripped of all of its usable parts before it is sent to the scrapyard. These spare parts will then either be sold on or used to repair other cars and usually helps you get an even better price.

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?
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.
