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.

Great service

Quick valuation then good communication regarding collection- driver was well within the agreed window and was helpful and pleasant Hassle free and a very fair price paid thanks

Excellent service From start to finish

Excellent service from start to finish The only one thing that I could say was a down fall was when I tryed to speak to someone over the phone. The waiting time in the cue was extremely long.

Best price, great service

Great service, good price offered for car. Collected promptly and kept updated all the way. Money transferred within 72 hours and they notify DVLA for you.

Fair price unlike a local rival

Had quotes from C R Hales who then a couple weeks later reduced the quote by £100, but D Yarham fair price and did what they said when they said. Much better and would use again.

Great service

Gave me a good price to scrap my old car. Collected it without any problems. I was unsure of how to do the document transfer as lost my log book but they sorted it for me.

Great service.

I was sad to see my little car being driven away. Your service made it easier. Helpful and courteous agent talked me through the process and the driver who collected my car was on time. Thank you for sending the agreed amount to my account.
