Past repair? Time to cash it out

You don’t always plan to scrap a car. It just gets to that point. Repairs stop being worth it, and the car ends up parked more than driven. When that happens, the easiest option is to sell it as a scrap car. We make that simple by giving you a fair offer and taking care of the removal.

We buy cars ready for the scrap heap

If your car’s reached scrap status, it’s not the end of the road. We’ll still buy it and handle the removal.

Other vehicles we pay for

If it’s no longer worth keeping, we’ll take it. Different conditions, same simple process.

What to sort before pickup

Once everything’s confirmed, pickup is simple. Just a few quick things to check before we arrive.

Remove belongings from your vehicle

Check the boot, glovebox, and under seats. Scrap cars tend to hide things you forgot.

Ensure the vehicle is accessible

A bit of space lets us load it up quickly and keep things moving.

Hand over the keys to our team

Once we arrive, hand over the keys, and we’ll load it up and take it away.

Turn that scrap car into cash

If your car’s reached scrap stage, there’s no reason to keep it around. Get a price, lock it in, and we’ll handle the rest.

Experiences from scrap car owners

From scrap cars to quick pickups, here’s what people noticed about how easy it was.

How scrap car pricing actually works

Once a car reaches scrap stage, its value shifts. It’s no longer about how it drives, it’s about what’s left in it. Metal, parts, and demand all play a role. That’s how we work out pricing. We assess what your scrap car still holds in value and give you a clear figure based on that, not guesswork or rough estimates.

What brands we buy every day

Doesn’t matter what badge is on it. If it’s ready for scrap, we’re interested.

Frequently asked questions

Scrapping a car is a bit different from selling one. Here are some common questions we get.

Do I need to deregister my scrap car before selling it?

In most cases, you don’t need to fully deregister your scrap car before selling it. A lot of scrap cars are already off the road or no longer registered, and that’s completely fine. What matters more is confirming ownership and making sure the right details are provided. If anything specific is required for your situation, we’ll guide you through it step by step. The idea is to keep things straightforward, so you’re not stuck dealing with unnecessary admin just to get rid of your car.

What happens to my car after it’s scrapped?

Once your car is collected, it undergoes dismantling and recycling. Any usable parts may be removed and reused, while the remaining materials, like metal, are processed for recycling. This helps reduce waste and ensures that the vehicle is handled responsibly. Instead of sitting unused or ending up in landfill, your scrap car is broken down and repurposed where possible.

Is there a minimum condition for scrap cars you’ll buy?

There isn’t a strict minimum condition. If your car has reached the point where it’s no longer practical to drive or requires repairs, it likely qualifies as a scrap car. We regularly deal with vehicles that are heavily damaged, non-running, have no warrant of fitness, or are partially dismantled. Every car is different, so the best way to know is to submit your details and get a price based on its current condition.

We’ll help you move your scrap car 

Cars don’t always go out on a high. When it gets to this point, we make it easier to deal with and move on.
