Allowing our team to build up a more accurate picture of your car and the condition it's in can help them find the right buyer for you - someone who will offer better money to salvage it instead of scrapping it, for example.

How much is my scrap car worth in Leatherhead?

We determine scrap car prices in Leatherhead based on current scrap metal costs and local averages. When scrapping a car, you’re essentially selling scrap metal, so the price is influenced by the vehicle’s weight. Our prices align with the UK’s national average for scrap metal. If your car is salvage, we’ll secure the best price locally. The same goes for scrapping vans.

Scrap vs salvage differences

When a car is salvaged, it’s dismantled for usable parts and sold for repairs. Selling as salvage can fetch a better price than scrapping, as buyers see a higher potential return. We only need a few extra details to get your car salvaged instead of scrapped.

What happens to my car after scrapping?

Your scrap car will be responsibly recycled by our network of Authorised Treatment Facilities and scrap metal dealers. Salvaged parts are reused in new vehicles, supporting a sustainable automotive industry.

Can you scrap my rare model?

We can scrap any car, no matter how non-standard or unique. Our expert team ensures you get the best price for your specific make and model. From common cars to rare imports, we’ve got you covered. If your car is one-of-a-kind, our specialists will still find you a price quickly and easily.

Can my car be scrapped even if it's damaged or failed its MOT?

Yes, your non-running car with no MOT can be scrapped. Get an instant quote and collection arranged for your vehicle in Leatherhead and ensure you sell it for its true value.

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.
