How Wheels Away Actually Works
When you want your car gone, you want it collected quickly. But you also want to get a good price for it. Wheels Away helps with both: we look for offers from buyers in our collector network, then you decide whether one works for you.
You tell us about the car, we look for buyers who want it, and you choose whether to accept an offer. If you do, we’ll help arrange free pickup and payment. There’s no obligation to sell.
Our team has helped people sell old, damaged, and non-running cars since building Scrap Car Comparison in the UK in 2008. We’ve brought that experience to Wheels Away in the U.S.
Your car might have more life in it than you think, even if it won’t start. A buyer who can repair it or use its parts may be willing to pay more than one buying it for scrap. We compare offers across our network to help you get the best price we can, without the hassle of calling around yourself.
Here’s what to expect, from your first quote to handing over the keys.
A Better Offer, With People to Help You Get There
A junkyard may see scrap metal. Another buyer might see a car they can repair or parts they can use. Wheels Away looks across our buyer network to find who wants your car and what they’re willing to pay. And you’ll have a real team to guide you through the sale, from your first quote to pickup.
- A price that reflects your car. We consider its age, make and model, condition, location and title status, then look for buyers who may see more value in it than scrap alone.
- No calling around. Tell us about your car and we’ll do the legwork to find offers. You choose whether to sell.
- Help when you need it. Have a question about your title, payment or what happens next? Our customer service team is here to talk it through.
- Pickup without the runaround. Once you accept an offer, we’ll help arrange a free collection as quickly as we can.
Our team has been connecting people with vehicle buyers since launching Scrap Car Comparison in the UK in 2008. That experience is behind every Wheels Away sale: finding the right buyer, helping you get the best price and making the whole process easier.
“People often assume a car that won’t start is only worth its scrap weight. We look at the whole vehicle: its condition, the parts a buyer may want, where it needs collecting from and how quickly the owner needs it gone. Sometimes the right buyer is a scrapyard; sometimes a salvage buyer can offer more. Our job is to know the difference and make the sale easy for you.”
Luke Oswald, Car Scrappage Specialist
What Happens When You Sell With Wheels Away?
- Tell us about your car. Share a few details about its age, make and model, condition, location and title. Need it gone quickly? Want to see what price you can get? Tell us what matters most, and we’ll get to work.
- 2. See what buyers will pay. We look for offers from buyers in our network, including those who may pay more for a car they can repair or use for parts. Our team can talk you through your options, so you can choose an offer that works for you.
- 3. Leave the pickup to us. Once you accept, we’ll help arrange free towing at a time that suits you, as quickly as availability allows. No towing fee or surprise admin charge.
- 4. Hand over the keys and get paid. Your car is collected and you’re paid by cash or check at pickup. We’ll be here to help if you have questions along the way.
Worth More Than Junk? Let’s Find Out
A car that won’t start isn’t automatically a junk car. One buyer might value it for scrap metal, while another could pay more because it has repair potential or usable parts.
You don’t need to make that call yourself. Tell us what you know about the vehicle, and we’ll look for buyers who want it as it stands. Whether it’s accident damaged, broken down or simply no longer worth repairing, our job is to help you find the right route and a price you’re happy with.
Experience You Can Rely On, People You Can Talk To
First, we look at what your car could be worth to different buyers. A scrapyard may value it for metal, while a salvage buyer might pay more because it can be repaired or used for parts.
Our market-leading technology helps us find suitable buyers, and our team looks at the details that can make a difference to your sale: your car’s condition, where it is, its title status and how soon you need it gone.
Then we look beyond the price. A great offer is only useful if the buyer can collect your car and pay as agreed. We take collection availability and buyer performance into account, help you understand your options, and stay on hand through pickup.
“We do the work behind the scenes, so customers don’t have to contact multiple junkyards, negotiate with collectors, or handle problems alone.” – Dan Gick, Managing Director
Buyers Have to Earn a Place on Our Network
We don’t let just anyone collect a customer’s car. Before a buyer joins Wheels Away, we check their licences and compliance, facilities, collection methods and payment processes. We also look at how quickly and reliably they collect, how they communicate and what customers say about them.
Those checks continue after they join. We monitor buyer performance and feedback because the service you receive at pickup matters just as much as the offer you accepted.
Experience You Can Rely On, People You Can Talk To
Our team has been connecting people with vehicle buyers since launching Scrap Car Comparison in the UK in 2008. We’ve brought that experience in scrap and salvage pricing, buyer networks and collection to Wheels Away, alongside U.S. specialists who understand how vehicle sales and title requirements work here.
You’ll have real people to help, too. If you’re unsure about your paperwork, need to explain a problem with the car or have a question about pickup, our customer service team can talk it through and help keep things moving.
