How much is my scrap car worth?
Short answer: it depends. The longer answer is below — and honestly, the quickest way to know for sure is a quick phone call.
What affects the price
Every car is different. These are the things we actually look at when we price one up:
Some cars have parts that are still in demand — that pushes the price up.
Older cars usually fetch less, but it really depends on condition and weight.
Does it run? Is it complete? Bodywork and engine condition all matter.
A big chunk of scrap value is the metal. Heavier cars tend to be worth more.
If you're local to us we can collect easily, which usually means a better price.
The quickest way to get an accurate price
Online estimators can only guess. They don't know if your car runs, what shape it's in, or whether the catalytic converter's still on it. We do this every day, so a 30-second chat will get you a far more accurate number than any online tool.
If you'd rather not call, fill in the quote form and we'll come back to you — usually the same day. Or if you're local, see our pages for Wirral, Liverpool, Chester and Cheshire.
Scrap car pricing – common questions
Can you give me a price over the phone?
Yes — that's usually the quickest way. Have your reg and postcode handy and we'll give you a straight answer.
Do online valuations give the real price?
They give a rough idea, but they don't know your car's condition. A quick call gets you a much more accurate number.
Is the price ever changed when you arrive?
Not with us. The price we quote is the price we pay. If something's very different to what you described we'll talk it through, but no surprise drop-offs.
Why do prices vary?
Scrap metal prices change, and every car is different. That's why we price each one based on what it actually is, not a generic table.
What's the most reliable way to find out?
