Find a trusted car breaker in Plymouth
When choosing a car breaker yard, you want one that understands exactly what your vehicle is worth. And that’s exactly what you’ll get with our comparison tool.

After handling thousands of cars in Plymouth, we’re well aware of the problems plaguing drivers in the area. Heavy congestion across key commuter points like the Saltash Tunnel and Tamar Bridge creates constant stop-start traffic that can have a major impact on older vehicles. And with an annual rainfall of around 980mm on average making Plymouth one of the wettest cities in the UK, it’s no wonder problems with corroded sub frames and worn tyres are so common for many of the vehicles we’ve accepted over the years.

They make sure that each business has a valid scrap metal licence and meets all legal guidance and requirements around licensing, record-keeping, payment and inspections, as set out in the Scrap Metal Dealer’s Act.

Once we have the keys, you’ll receive your payment. Next, our drivers will take your car straight to the car breaker yard where salvagers will either choose to patch it up and find a new buyer or take it apart and reuse all the working components. In some cases, your vehicle may be completely destroyed and recycled, but that will depend on the car breakers and the condition of your car.
