Scrap your car

Get instant offers for your old car by using our quick and easy system. Your quotes come through in moments and we'll even get your car sold and removed in just a handful of days - the fastest and easiest car sale you'll ever see!

Sell your car for salvage

Some cars are simply too good to scrap and we can help with that, too. Your car will be stripped of all of its usable parts, or even repaired itself. Any spare parts will then either be sold on or used to repair other cars. This can often result in an even better offer for your vehicle.

Sell a damaged car

Damaged vehicles don't have to get small amounts when they're sold. No matter if it's suffered from small scratches and dents, or has been totally written off, you know you'll get a great price for your vehicle with us.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Looking to scrap a van, truck or bus? No problems! We can get a price for any vehicle, no matter how big. The service is exactly the same whether you're scrapping a commercial vehicle or a car. We can even help you scrap an entire fleet of vehicles, too. Just give our team a call and we'll get you started.

What are the scrap car prices in Leicester?

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 in Leicester and the wider Leicestershire county 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.

Can you scrap my specific car?

Of course we can! We’ll scrap everything, no matter what car make and model your car is. We’ve helped sell everything from the biggest selling hatchbacks to some of the most exotic supercars you can imagine. Don’t think your car is too rare to scrap, we’re here to prove you wrong!

What is salvaging?

Car salvaging is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t dismantled and recycled, but instead fixed or stripped for parts. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need to know more about the car’s condition. Find out how to salvage your car.

What happens to scrap cars?

Scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental rules. Every car we scrap is taken to a specialist Authorised Treatment Facility to be scrapped in line with all legal rules. When a car is scrapped it is returned to its original materials, and from there it will be used again in the manufacturing process.

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.
