How Your Scrap Car Price Is Worked Out

If you’re wondering how your quoted price was generated, take a look at these points that are taken into consideration for each vehicle:

  • How close your car is to scrap yards (ATFs)
  • The weight of your vehicle
  • Whether specialised vehicle removal equipment will be needed
  • If the V5C log book is available
  • Whether the vehicle is still driveable
  • Any special/aftermarket parts the car may have
  • The market value of scrap metal

All of these points are considered when valuing your scrap vehicle, so it’s common for prices offered to fluctuate from one day to the next.

National Scrap Car’s Partner ATFs

Our scrap partners are fully on board with the way we operate. That includes honouring our price guarantee. When you accept a price offered for your vehicle, that price is guaranteed and will not be changed, as long as the information you gave us about the car is correct. When they collect the vehicle, they’ll give it a look over the confirm the details given. For example, if you tell us your car has all four wheels, but actually it’s only got three, your price will no longer be guaranteed and might have to be adjusted.

National Scrap Car’s Commitment To Sustainability

The car industry is not known for being especially sustainable or environmentally-friendly. Electric cars are making things greener, but when any vehicle needs to be scrapped, what happens next?

They don’t just go and sit at a scrap yard! No, when you scrap your car with National Scrap Car it will be disposed of in a sustainable way. This means it will be recycled so that its materials can be put to good use, sometimes in other vehicles, but often in completely different ways.

Many cars are also salvaged, which is even better for sustainability than scrapping. Whereas scrap vehicles will be recycled, salvage cars and vans are repaired and put back on the road. Sometimes a few spare parts is all your car needs, so if you sell it as salvage, you can expect a much higher offer from our buyers than if you sell it as scrap to be crushed.
