How we work out your car value
Your cash offer depends on your vehicle make, model, year, condition, parts and location, so we assess each car individually.
Make and model
Year of the vehicle
Engine and gearbox condition
Overall vehicle condition
Reusable parts and missing components
Scrap value of the remaining vehicle
Vehicle location and pickup access
Whether the vehicle starts or rolls
A complete vehicle is usually worth more
A complete vehicle may be worth more because it has more usable parts. Send us your vehicle details and we will assess what it is worth before arranging collection.

Super easy and professional service from start to finish. They bought my 2004 Toyota that could no longer be driven, very quick and reliable service. Thanks guys!
Sabrina Chiaretti
Excellent service. Only took one and a half hours from me making first contact before the vehicle had been picked up. Very friendly. Paid well. A happy customer, thank you.
Delanie Goodlet
I called them for tyres and they were able to bring them to me four hours later. Dropped them off directly at my house. Such a lovely and knowledgeable guy, kindly gave me advice and was willing to chat for a few minutes.
