Sell a damaged car in Grafton Underwood
To sell a damaged car in Grafton Underwood, you don't need to repair it, clean it or wait for anything. We buy accident damaged cars, insurance write-off buy-backs and flood damaged cars as they stand. You get a price online, we collect for free and we pay you by bank transfer.
Quiet country lanes have their own risks. A bend taken a little fast, a verge that gives way, a deer at dusk. Once the dust settles, many owners find the car isn't worth the repair, and that is where we come in.
Which write-offs can I scrap?
All of them. If your insurer wrote the car off and you kept it, you can still scrap it with us.
| Category | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cat A | Must be crushed entirely |
| Cat B | Body shell must be crushed, some parts can be salvaged |
| Cat S | Structural damage, can be repaired and returned to the road |
| Cat N | Non-structural damage, can be repaired |
Plenty of people buy back a Cat S or Cat N meaning to fix it, then find the parts and labour cost more than expected. If that is you, get your instant price and compare.
Getting your price
- Enter the reg and postcode at get your instant price.
- Describe the damage honestly so the price reflects the car.

- We check your ID, pay by bank transfer and load the car.
Your price stands if the car matches the description. If anything differs on the day, we explain before loading and you can say no.
How much is a damaged car worth for scrap?
The main factors are weight and the current scrap metal price, so damage often makes less difference than people expect. Where it does matter is when parts are missing or destroyed, for example the wheels, catalytic converter or engine. The make and model, keys, V5C and location also count. See the damaged cars cost guide for a fuller explanation.
Loading a damaged car
A crash can leave a wheel pushed back, the steering out of line or a corner crushed so the car won't roll straight. Our trucks, run through our sister company Rapid Recovery Corby, can winch the car on and put skates under damaged wheels. Some trucks carry one car and tow another, which is useful when two damaged vehicles need to go. If your car is at a garage or body shop, we can collect from there with their agreement.
Flood damage
Heavy rain can leave water lying on low roads around north Northamptonshire. If your car went into floodwater, never try to restart an engine that stalled in water. If the engine or electrics are ruined, or the interior is soaked through, we will buy the car as it is. Flood damage often shows up weeks later as electrical faults, damp smells and corrosion, so a car that seemed fine at first can quickly become uneconomic to keep.
Is it worth repairing instead?
If the damage is light and the car is otherwise good, a repair can make sense. If the bodywork, airbags and suspension all need attention, the bill usually climbs fast. Our scrap or repair guide helps you weigh it up.
Paperwork after a write-off
- Photo ID and proof of address, which the law requires us to check.
- The V5C logbook, if you still have it.
- Your insurer's paperwork showing the write-off category.
- The keys.
If the insurer kept your V5C, read our guide on scrapping a car without a logbook. The car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and notifies the DVLA. Our Certificate of Destruction guide explains why that matters.
Before collection day
Take out your dashcam, as the footage may matter to your insurer. Remove sat navs, permits and personal items, and check the boot and under the spare wheel. Cancel the insurance once the car has gone, and any toll or parking accounts linked to the reg.
