What Determines Your Scrap Value?
Our advanced quoting system considers multiple real time factors to guarantee you the highest payout.
Vehicle Weight & Metal Prices
The base of any quote. Heavier cars (like SUVs) contain more ferrous metal, directly increasing their core scrap tonnage value.
Demand for Parts
If your specific make and model has high market demand for salvageable used parts, we pay a premium rate.
Vehicle Condition
Complete cars (with engines, gearboxes, and wheels intact) are worth significantly more than stripped shells.
Catalytic Converter
Original OEM catalytic converters contain precious metals (Rhodium, Palladium). Aftermarket cats are worth less.

Scrap Car FAQ
Everything you need to know about scrapping your car legally and getting the best price.
How long does it take to scrap a car in the UK?
The full scrapping process takes as little as 24 hours. We deliver your quote in 60 seconds online. The collection gets arranged the same day you book. Same day payment hits your bank once we collect.
Will scrapping my car affect my no claims bonus?
Scrapping a car does not affect your no claims discount. Cancel your insurance policy after we issue the certificate of destruction. Always notify your insurer and complete DVLA notification to avoid charges.
Can I scrap a car that is not in my name?
You need to be the registered keeper or show proof of ownership. We accept inherited vehicles and company cars with correct paperwork. Bring photo ID, address proof, and the V5C logbook on collection day.
Do I need to SORN the vehicle before scrapping?
You do not need to declare SORN before scrapping. We handle full DVLA notification and deregistration automatically. Any unused vehicle excise duty triggers a tax refund from DVLA after collection.
Is it legal to scrap a car for cash?
Cash payments for scrap cars are illegal under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. We pay by bank transfer only fully compliant and traceable. Every vehicle goes to a licensed ATF with a certificate of destruction issued to you.
How do I inform the DVLA that I have scrapped my car?
Do I need to pay for collection?
