When you’re happy with your offer, your buyer will then be in touch to arrange a convenient time to collect the vehicle. There are no hidden charges or surprises. That’s it.

What You Need To Scrap Your Car
All you need to do is provide a few details about your vehicle so that we can assess whether it's suitable to be salvaged, or whether it should be scrapped.
Your vehicle information is then entered into our network of the best scrap and salvage buyers across the country. We hold every one of our buyers to the highest standards and offer the most professional vehicle disposal service in the industry.
When it comes to the collection of your vehicle, you will need to ensure you have the following:
- Identification
- V5C Logbook
- Keys
Scrap vs Salvage
Scrap involves crushing and recycling the vehicle completely, but salvaging means it’ll be used for parts or repaired.

Scrapping FAQs
What are scrap car prices around the UK?
The good news is that scrap car prices are directly linked to the weight of your car. Got something bigger than a car? We can price and scrap your van too. And those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards offer competitive prices for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we'll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.
What will happen to my scrap car?
If your car is sold as scrap, then it will be dismantled and recycled in line with national regulations. All of the components and parts will be stripped and processed before being recycled in a manner of ways. We've explained this in further details so you can find out more about car recycling.
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 your 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.
