Broken does not mean worthless. Your price factors in scrap weight plus any components still worth salvaging.
About Our Sell Broken Car Service
Repairing a car that is worth less than the labour bill rarely makes financial sense. We give you a firm price based on tonnage and recoverable components, collect for free, and transfer payment before the flatbed pulls away.
What We Accept
Vehicles we regularly handle through our sell broken car service:
- Blown head gaskets -- overheated engines with coolant contamination and white exhaust smoke
- Failed gearboxes -- slipping automatics, crunching manuals, and dual-clutch faults
- Dead ECUs and wiring faults -- electrical gremlins that cost more to diagnose than the car is worth
- Turbo failures -- oil-starved or oversped turbochargers on diesel and petrol models
- Cambelt and timing chain failures -- bent valves and scored bores from snapped belts
- Structural corrosion -- rust-through on sills, subframes, and suspension mounts that fails the MOT
- Cars that have sat unused for years -- seized engines, perished seals, flat batteries, and dead tyres
How We Operate
Our sell broken car process from start to finish:
- Fault Does Not Matter -- We do not need the car to start, drive, or even roll. Our flatbed handles every recovery situation.
- Weight Plus Parts Pricing -- Your quote combines the vehicle's scrap metal value with the worth of any components that can still be salvaged and resold.
- Free Collection From Anywhere -- Driveway, garage, barn, field, or roadside. If you can give us the location, we can get a flatbed to it.
- No Repair Assessment Needed -- You do not need a garage diagnosis. Tell us the symptoms and we price based on the vehicle itself.
- Payment Before Loading -- Cash or bank transfer handed over at your door before the vehicle goes onto the flatbed.
- Paperwork Fully Handled -- V5C filed with the DVLA, Certificate of Destruction posted to you, and road tax refund triggered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Often yes. If the repair bill exceeds the vehicle market value, scrapping or selling for parts is the more sensible financial decision. We give you a firm price based on scrap metal weight and any salvageable components.
Blown head gaskets, slipping gearboxes, dead ECUs, failed turbos, Category S and N write-offs, accident damage, fire damage, and any other mechanical or electrical fault. If it has a chassis, we will price it.
We calculate the scrap metal value from the vehicle kerb weight and current steel prices, then add the value of any parts still worth salvaging: catalytic converter, engine internals, body panels, and electrical components.
No. Our flatbed trucks are equipped to collect vehicles that do not start, do not drive, or have no wheels. The driver winches or rolls the vehicle onto the bed. No extra charge.
Yes. Long-standing vehicles often have seized engines, flat batteries, and perished tyres, but they still contain recyclable metal and potentially salvageable parts. We collect and pay regardless of how long it has been stationary.
Yes. We file the V5C notification electronically on the day of collection and issue a Certificate of Destruction. This removes you as the registered keeper and protects you from future liability.
