Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my scrap car worth in Northampton?
Scrap car values in Northampton depend on the weight of your vehicle and the current scrap metal price, which changes daily. Our quote tool checks live prices from local buyers the moment you enter your reg, so you always see the best rate available right now — not a generic estimate.
Is collection really free in Northampton?
Yes — free collection is included with every quote, across all Northampton postcodes. There are no hidden charges. The price you accept is exactly what gets paid into your bank account on collection day.
Can you collect a car that doesn't run in Northampton?
Absolutely. Our collectors carry the right equipment to recover non-runners, MOT failures, insurance write-offs and accident-damaged vehicles from anywhere in the Northampton area. Just let us know the vehicle's condition when you get your quote.
What paperwork do I need to scrap my car?
You'll need your V5C logbook and photo ID. If you've lost the V5C, you can still scrap your car — you'll just need to notify DVLA separately online. We handle the Certificate of Destruction and DVLA notification as standard on every collection.
What's the difference between scrapping and salvaging a car?
Scrapping means the car is fully recycled — crushed and processed at an Authorised Treatment Facility. Salvaging means the car still has usable parts and is sold to a specialist buyer who'll strip or repair it. Salvage prices are often significantly higher, so it's always worth getting both quotes at the same time.
How quickly can you collect in Northampton?
In most cases we can arrange same-day or next-day collection in Northampton. Once you accept a price, your collector will be in touch to confirm a time that works for you.
