💡 Pro Tip: Always get a Certificate of Destruction – we provide it free.


Which Car Parts Are Worth Removing Before Scrapping?

Top 5 parts to sell separately before scrapping:

  1. Catalytic converter – £50–£150 (platinum inside).
  2. Alloy wheels
  3. Battery – £20–£60 (even if dead).

Removing these could add £300+ to your payout!
