How do cars get scrapped?

Your car will be taken to a specialist Authorised Treatment Facility where it will be recycled in line with all government legislation. Almost all of your car will be returned to its original materials and used again in the manufacture of new vehicles.

Is salvaging the same as scrapping?

Not quite. Salvaging involves your car being broken down into any useable parts which can then be sold on as spares and repairs. For this reason, salvage vehicles can often get even better quotes than scrap cars due to the extra potential return from these parts.

Are there any makes or models that can't be scrapped?

Any car can be scrapped. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got an incredibly rare car or one of the most common family cars on the market, any car make and model can be scrapped. Still not convinced? Speak to one of our team who will be able to guide you through every step of the way.

My car has no MOT, can I still scrap it?

Of course you can! In fact, cars with no current MOT are some of the most common vehicles we see through our books. We also see cars with varying levels of damage, even those that have been a written off by the owner’s insurers.

Get a quote today to see just how much your broken, damaged or MOT failed car can be scrapped for.

What are the scrap prices in Canterbury?

Any scrap car prices we quote are calculated by taking the current average rate of scrap metal in your area and the expected weight of your vehicle. Scrap cars are effectively one big lump of scrap metal, so the heavier your car is, the bigger your quote is likely to be.

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.
