What happens to scrap cars?

Cars, by law, are recycled when they are sent for scrap. This means they are broken down and returned to their original materials. Most of the time, these materials are used again in the manufacture of brand new cars. Effectively, your scrap car will help build a new one!

What is salvaging?

Salvaging means your car will be stripped of any reusable parts before it goes through the depollution and recycling process that scrap cars go directly to. This is also known as selling “for spares and repairs”, as your car could find itself repaired or at the very least donating its former parts to cars in need.

What are scrap car prices in Wellingborough?

Every price generated will be in line with national rates for scrap metal and the weight of the car itself. We’ll then take into account the condition of your particular car. For that reason we can’t give a catch-all estimate, and the best thing to do is get a quote and speak to our team!

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.
