How it's calculated

What is my car worth as scrap?

There are many factors taken into consideration when valuing your vehicle. We update our online car scrap value calculator regularly, in line with current market prices, so you can be sure you’re getting the best price. We have been in the industry for over 30 years and, as the end buyer, we cut out the cost of the middleman, making our prices some of the best in the market.

What affects your price

Why does scrap value vary?

When using our car scrap value calculator, several factors are taken into consideration, though it’s usually heavily dependent on the national scrap value.

Weight

The main factor: the heavier your vehicle, the higher the scrap value and the more you’re paid.

Make & Model

Sometimes even the engine is taken into account when calculating a vehicle’s value.

National Scrap Rate

When your vehicle is crushed, its metal is recycled for use in other vehicles or products.

Being the End Buyer

As an Authorised Treatment Facility and the end buyer, we cut out the middleman’s cost.
