Find out what we can do for you and your scrap vehicle in Market Harborough

Scrap your car

Get started today and enjoy the easiest car sale you'll ever go through. With just two small pieces of information we can get your initial prices, and you could find your car sold within the next three days.

Sell a car for salvage

Not all scrap cars are totally useless. In some cases, some reusable spares may still be found attached. By selling as salvage, your car will either be stripped of these parts or repaired back to roadworthy state. Either way, salvage cars usually get higher prices than scrap offers.

Sell a damaged car

We know how difficult selling damaged cars can be - and that's why we're here! Don't worry about explaining your cars issues to every prospective buyer. Tell us just once and we'll find a buyer for you in an instant, no hassle or fuss.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

It's not just cars that can go wrong, and when commercial vehicles fail we know how important that can be to your business. That's why our service for larger vehicles is just as easy as selling cars. Just give us a call and we'll get you sorted.

Scrap Car Comparison Mascot How to scrap your car in Market Harborough

1. Generate a quote

A postcode and registration number is all you need to find out your scrap prices. These will be based on the current rate for scrap metal and the weight of your vehicle. While you can choose to accept this offer for a quick sale, we'll call you to discuss the car in greater detail and maybe get you an even better price.

2. Give more details

Our phone call is your opportunity to boost your offer. Descsribe your car accurately and honestly and we'll check your local area to see if anyone is willing to pay a higher price or even buy it as a salvage vehicle rather than scrap. Once you're happy with one of the offers, we'll put you in touch with one of our collection partners.

3. Collection and Payment

We work with trusted collection agents nationwide so you know you're always going to get a great service. When they arrive they'll give your car a quick inspection to ensure it is as you described. Once the car is loaded on the trailer to be taken away, the money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

What are scrap car prices in Market Harborough?

Every price we generate and quote are based on the current rate for scrap metal across the country. This rate will be calculated alongside the expected weight of your vehicle to generate the base price. We also take into account any local trends that we see. With a short phone call, we’ll get more information from you to make this quote more accurate and see if we can extract any extra value for you.

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars, by law, must be recycled. When they are sent to the Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), they will be broken down and returned to their raw materials. These materials will then be reused again in the manufacturing process for new cars. Yes, by scrapping your old car, you’re helping new ones get on the road.

Is salvage the same as scrapping?

Not quite. Scrap cars will be sent straight to the crusher, while salvage cars will have anything reusable removed first. For example, if a major accident has rendered your car useless but you still have a working gearbox, that will be removed to be used as a spare elsewhere. Alternatively, if one mechanical issue has caused your car to be written off, a salvage buyer may decide to take on that repair job themselves and get your old car back on the road.

Can you scrap my specific make and model of car?

No matter how rare you think your car is, we guarantee we’ll be able to get a scrap or salvage offer for you. No car is too obscure for us. Trust us, we’ve seen it all! If it’s a huge SUV or a tiny city car, a modern electric marvel or an ancient dinosaur-burning petrol engine, we guarantee you a great service and an even greater price.

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.
