After an accident, most owners get a repair quote from a workshop before deciding whether to fix or sell. If the estimate approaches or exceeds the car's pre-accident value, selling for scrap or salvage is usually the better outcome.
If Your Insurer Has Declared A Write-Off
Once an insurer releases a written-off vehicle back to you, you're free to sell it directly to a scrap car buyer for cash — there's no need to go through a salvage auction.
Collection From A Workshop Or Accident Site
You don't need to move the car yourself. A reputable buyer will collect directly from wherever it currently sits — a body shop, a workshop or the roadside — as part of the free pick-up.
