We are a registered Authorised Treatment Facility, therefore, following legal guidelines, if you decide to sell your damaged car to us, it will go through a depollution process before being disposed of and recycled into something else.
The reasons for which your car can be classified as damaged or broken fall into one of the below categories:
● Engine/parts
● Bodywork
● Interior
Choosing to fix your broken or damaged car can be time consuming and expensive, that’s why many choose to scrap their vehicles instead.

Our online quote system offers the best price for your vehicle. Simply enter your registration number and phone number into our online form and our system will generate a quote for you, we can then organise a quick collection.
To make it easier to understand, there are four key classifications that your vehicle will come under if it is broken or has been damaged. Vehicles were previously classed as Category A, B, C or D, however this changed in October 2017 when the Association of British Insurers (ABI) re-categorised them into the below.
Category A vehicles have been deemed as not suitable to be repaired and none of the parts can be reused, the entire vehicle must be scrapped.
Category B vehicles have been deemed as not suitable to be repaired but some of the parts may be reused elsewhere.
Category S vehicles have structural damage to the frame or chassis. The insurance/owners have decided not to repair vehicles in this category, but it can be used as salvage.
Category N vehicles have no structural damage. The insurance/owners have decided not to repair vehicles in this category, but the vehicle is classed as repairable.
Our quotations for damaged and broken cars will vary and take into account many factors including make and model, vehicle weight and the average scrap price. Our prices are subject to inspection, as we mentioned, we buy any car, so it’s important to be upfront and honest about your vehicle.
It can be disheartening to see the amount for your vehicle is significantly less than you paid for it, however, it is important to remember that you are selling damaged goods.
In many cases, a vehicle can be deemed uneconomical to repair, for example, if you’ve been involved in an uninsured accident, it’s failed its MOT or if it’s got engine failure.
However, we specialise in damaged and broken vehicles and will always give you the best price possible. Because we are a registered Authorised Treatment Facility, we can often offer prices that other scrap merchants struggle to match. We buy any car, so get your instant quote today.
We simply need your vehicle registration and your phone number to begin with. If you enter this into our online form it will generate a free, instant, no obligation quote. You can then call us to discuss this further or we will call you. If you decide to accept your quote, we will collect your vehicle at a mutually convenient date and time.
We will pay you via BACS bank transfer within 24 hours of collecting your vehicle. In 2013, the Scrap Metal Dealers Act was introduced, this made it illegal to sell scrap vehicles for cash. This was to combat rogue traders and make scrap payments more traceable, therefore, we will never pay for your vehicle in cash.
