Sell your damaged car in Middleton as it stands
After an accident, the last thing you want is a run-around over repair quotes. If you would like to sell your damaged car in Middleton, get a price from our get a price page with your reg and postcode. Accept it and we arrange a free collection, paying you by bank transfer when we load.
We buy cars with accident damage, insurance write-offs you have kept, flood damaged cars and whole vehicles that have been in a fire.
What kind of damage do you buy?
- Front, rear or side impact damage.
- Bent suspension and wheels after hitting a kerb or verge.
- Cars with airbags deployed.
- Water damage from flooding on low roads.
- Older cars with cosmetic damage not worth repairing.
Middleton sits on the edge of the Welland valley, and country driving brings its own risks, from wet bends to verges and ditches. If your car has come off worse, we will take it as it is.
Write-off categories explained
If your insurer wrote the car off and you kept it as a buy-back, you can still sell it to us.
| Category | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cat A | Must be crushed entirely |
| Cat B | Body shell 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 |
Some owners keep a Cat S or Cat N car planning to fix it, only to find the cost keeps rising. If that sounds familiar, our scrap or repair guide may help you decide.
Getting a damaged car onto the truck
We collect with our own recovery trucks, run by our sister company Rapid Recovery Corby. Damaged cars often have a wheel that will not turn or steering that is out of line. We winch them onto a beavertail transporter, or use skates and dollies under the damaged corner. If the car is still at a garage or body shop, we collect from there.
Let us know which parts are damaged and whether the car rolls when we call to book.
How does damage affect my price?
Less than you might expect. The price is mainly about weight and the current scrap metal price. It also takes account of the make and model, whether major parts such as the engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels are still there, whether you have the keys and V5C, and where the car is. The damaged cars cost guide explains it further.
Your instant price stands as long as the car matches what you described. If it differs on the day, we tell you before loading and you can say no.
Flood damage on valley roads
Low roads around the Welland valley can flood after heavy rain. A car that has been through deep water can suffer electrical faults and corrosion that appear weeks later. If your car has been flood damaged, do not try to start it, and get your price online.
Dealing with the insurer first
If a claim is still open, it is worth checking with your insurer before you sell. Once you have kept the car as a buy-back and the claim is settled, the car is yours to do with as you wish. Keep any letters that show the write-off category, as they help us price the car accurately. If the car was damaged and you never claimed, you can simply get your price online and book a collection.
What happens after we collect?
- We check your photo ID and proof of address, as the law requires.
- We pay you instantly by bank transfer. Cash is illegal for scrap under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.
- The car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility.
- The ATF issues a Certificate of Destruction and tells the DVLA.
- Any full months of road tax are refunded automatically.
Our certificate of destruction guide explains why you should keep that document. Transfer any private plate before collection, and cancel your insurance afterwards.
