Scrap Car Comparison Mascot Scrap car services in Nottingham

Here’s what we can do for you and your old car in Nottingham

Scrap your car

The simplest vehicle sale you'll ever see, just get a quote today and your car will be sold within days. Our service guarantees you a buyer, and the price you're quoted will be the price you're paid, down to the last penny.

Sell your car for salvage

Some cars are too good to simply go straight onto the scrap pile. Sell your car as salvage and it will be stripped of its reusable parts to be sold for spares and repairs. Due to this potential extra revenue stream, salvage offers are often larger than their scrap counterparts.

Sell your damaged car

Trying to sell a damaged car from your driveway will always be like trying to push a boulder uphill, but here we make it easy! Simply give us your car details and we'll have a buyer for you before you know it. We have specialists waiting for a car exactly like yours.

Scrap your van or commercial vehicle

Need to scrap something a little bit bigger than a car? Well we can help with that, too. Whether you've got a van, a truck, a bus or anything we can get you an unbeatable quote. Our service is exactly the same as a car sale, and we can also help with fleet disposal if needed.

What are the scrap car prices in Nottingham

Every scrap car price we generate is calculated based on the weight of your car and the current rate for scrap metal – remember you’re effectively just selling a big lump of scrap metal. We’ll speak to you on the phone to get a better idea on the condition of your car and see if we can boost your offer or even get a salvage price.

What is salvaging and how is it different to scrap?

Scrap vehicles are sent straight to the scrapyard for crushing, whereas a salvage vehicle will be stripped of its reusable parts first. This is often called “selling for spares and repairs”. While it is not a guarantee, salvage offers are usually higher than scrap offers.

Can you scrap my specific make and model?

Of course we can! There’s nothing we can’t scrap. From Audis to Volvos and everything in between, we can get you a great price. We’ve scrapped the smallest of sportscars to the biggest 4x4s. Whether petrol powered or an environmentally friendly EV, we have specialists who can scrap absolutely anything.

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.
