How It Works
How Much Will You Get?
The value of your scrap car depends on several key factors, including the vehicle’s weight, size, and overall metal content. Heavier cars generally fetch higher prices due to the amount of recyclable material. The make, model, and condition of your car also play a role—vehicles with reusable or valuable parts may increase your quote. Finally, market fluctuations in scrap metal prices can impact how much you’ll receive, as these rates change daily based on demand and global metal values.
Types of Vehicles We Scrap:
We accept all types of vehicles:
• Non‑runners, MOT failures & junkers
• Insurance write‑offs & flood‑damaged cars
• Foreign‑registered vehicles & fleet renewals
• Vans, motorbikes & commercial vehicles too
What You'll Need:
• V5C Logbook (or proof of ownership)
The V5C logbook shows you’re the registered keeper of the vehicle. If you’ve lost it, no problem! We can still scrap your car, just let us know, and we’ll help you through it.
• MOT certificate and service history (if available)
If you have an MOT certificate or service history, they help us value your car. No MOT? No issue – we buy vehicles in any state. Share what you’ve got, and we’ll take it from there.
• A key (at least one wheel attached)
We need one key to verify the car and at least one wheel for pickup. Missing a key or wheel? Tell us when you submit your details, and we’ll sort out a solution.
• Any remaining finance must be cleared beforehand
Any finance on your car, like a loan, must be paid off first. Check with your lender to clear it and get confirmation. We’ll guide you if you need help with the process.
