How our scrap value calculator works

Our calculator couldn’t be simpler to use. All we need is your car’s registration number and your postcode. We’ll do the rest in the blink of an eye.

  • Registration number: This helps us identify the exact make, model and age of your car, and ensures we calculate the best, most accurate quote possible.
  • Postcode: This helps us understand where you are in the UK, which means we can calculate the best scrap prices for your local area.

How to have your scrap car collected

Once you have accepted the quote for your car, we can collect it from you – scrap car collection is free! One of our team will contact you by email or phone to arrange an ideal collection time. We’ll do our best to collect at your chosen time, and we collect most cars within just two working days.

Our collection times are usually Monday to Saturday between 7am and 7pm. If this doesn’t work for you, do let us know and we’ll do our best to make the timing work.

4.9/5 stars based on 790 service ratings over the past year

Great professional service

Great service, everything went exactly to plan. I was offered a fair price for my vehicle and the payment was made exactly as promised. I would highly recommend their services to anyone struggling to dispose of their vehicle.

Quick, easy and efficient

Quick, efficient, hassle free. Only problem was the queuing system on the phone when trying to return their call. Having the contactless collection was brilliant, and payment was made the next day as explained.

Great

Very easy 👌 Money in my bank account within 30 minutes. The driver explained everything I needed to know He also came within the time I was told. Everything went smoothly.

The best experience I had with this service was excellent.

The form was easy to fill out. I was informed of everything that needed to be put down. The guy rang me an hour before collection and went through any paperwork. Overall I was very pleased with the service provided.

Fantastic service

Great service Good price paid for my car plus the best bit is that once the car gets back to their depo the money was in my bank account by 5 pm the same day I would definitely recommend this company friendly staff from the reception to the pick up person

Excellent service from initial telephone call to collection.

Seamless, quick and extremely easy to go through the process from start to finish. Best price i could find and I was paid in full by the end of the day after collection. Sad to see my old car go, happy to see the scrap value appear in my bank account!

Professionalism at its finest

Right from the get go Customer service was very Pleasant. Then when driver came to take the car he was Very polite and professional. I would highly Recommend these and in Addition best price was given so all in all 5 out of 5.
