Damage we see on rural roads
Country driving brings its own risks. Lanes around Lowick are narrow, verges are soft, and the A14 is not far away. The damaged cars we buy from villages like this include:
- Front-end damage from collisions on lanes or main roads.
- Cars that have left the road and come to rest in a ditch or hedge.
- Side damage from scrapes with gateposts or walls.
- Cars caught in flood water on low roads after heavy rain.
- Vehicles written off by an insurer and kept by the owner.
We keep it general on fire damage. If a car has been in a fire, call us to talk it through.
What do the write-off categories mean?
| Category | What it means |
|---|---|
| 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 |
If your insurer has written your car off and you kept it as a buy-back, you can still sell it to us. Many people in that position find the repair quote is more than they expected, and scrapping becomes the easier route. Our scrap or repair guide can help you decide.
How is a damaged car priced?
Scrap is priced mainly by weight and the current scrap metal market. Make, model and completeness matter as well, so a damaged car with its engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels all in place keeps more of its value. Keys and a V5C help. Tell us about the damage when you get your price, and the price will stand as long as the car matches. If something differs on the day, we explain before loading and you can say no. Our damaged cars cost guide goes into more detail.
Getting a damaged car out of Lowick
A car with heavy front-end damage may not steer, and one with a crushed wheel may not roll. We collect with recovery trucks from our sister company, Rapid Recovery Corby, using winches and a van with dollies and skates where a car cannot roll. Let us know where the car is, whether that is your drive, a farm yard or a garage that has been storing it.
If the car simply will not run, non-runner collection in Lowick covers more on how we move it.
Paperwork after an accident
- Have photo ID and proof of address ready, as we must check them by law.
- Hand over the V5C if you have it and keep the yellow slip.
- If the V5C is with your insurer or lost, you can still sell with proof of ID and ownership.
- Cancel your insurance on the car once it is collected.
- Remove dashcams, which may hold footage you need.
The car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility. It issues a Certificate of Destruction and notifies the DVLA, and any full months of tax left are refunded automatically. Our certificate of destruction guide has more.
Bank transfer, always
The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 made cash payments for scrap cars illegal. We pay by bank transfer at collection.
Should I wait for the insurer to settle first?
If your claim is still open, it is usually best to let the insurer finish before you sell. Once the settlement is agreed and you know the car is yours to keep, you are free to sell it to us. If the car is sitting at a garage or storage site while that happens, tell us where it is and we can collect from there.
