Damaged car buyers for Bulwick
If you need to sell a damaged car in Bulwick, we will buy it as it stands. Front-end damage from a collision, a car that came off second best with a deer or a hedge, a write-off you bought back from the insurer, or a car that sat in floodwater. We give you a price online, collect for free and pay you by bank transfer.
A busy main road with lorries and farm machinery, plus dark rural lanes, means accident damaged cars are something people around Bulwick deal with more than they would like. Once the insurance side is settled, the car still needs to go somewhere.
Write-off categories explained
| Category | What it means | Can you scrap it with us? |
|---|---|---|
| Cat A | Must be crushed entirely | Yes |
| Cat B | Body shell must be crushed, some parts can be salvaged | Yes |
| Cat S | Structural damage, can be repaired and returned to the road | Yes |
| Cat N | Non-structural damage, can be repaired | Yes |
If your insurer wrote the car off and you kept it as a buy-back, perhaps meaning to repair it, and the numbers no longer add up, you can still scrap it with us.
How to sell a damaged car in Bulwick
- Go to get your instant price and enter the reg and postcode.
- Tell us about the damage honestly, so the price reflects the car.
- Accept the price and we call to agree a collection time.
- On the day we check your ID, pay by bank transfer and load the car.
The price stands as long as the car is complete and as described. If we find something different, for example parts missing since the accident, we explain before loading and you can say no.
Will damage lower my scrap price?
Sometimes, but less than you might expect. A scrap price is based mainly on the car's weight and the current scrap metal price. Damage matters most when it means parts are missing, such as wheels, the catalytic converter or a damaged engine that has been taken out. Make and model, keys, the V5C and location also play a part. See the damaged cars cost guide for more.
Moving a damaged car safely
Accident damaged cars often have wheels that won't turn, a crushed front corner or a steering arm out of line. Our trucks, run through our sister company Rapid Recovery Corby, can winch a car onto the bed and use skates under damaged wheels. If the car is at a body shop or a garage, tell us where and we can collect from there with their agreement.
Flood damaged cars
Low roads and fords around north Northamptonshire can catch drivers out after heavy rain. If your car went into water and the engine has been damaged, or the interior is ruined, we buy flood damaged cars too. Don't try to restart an engine that stalled in water. Just get your instant price and we will collect it.
Paperwork for write-offs
- Photo ID and proof of address, which by law we must check.
- The V5C logbook if you have it. Keep the yellow slip.
- Any paperwork from your insurer about the write-off category.
- Keys, if you have them.
If the logbook went to the insurer and never came back, our guide on scrapping a car without a logbook explains what to do. Every car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and tells the DVLA. Our Certificate of Destruction guide explains why you should keep it.
Before collection
Remove dashcams, which may hold footage you need for a claim, plus sat navs, parking permits and personal items. Check the boot and under the spare wheel. Cancel the insurance once the car has gone.

Questions people ask
Do you buy accident damaged cars in Bulwick?
Yes. We buy accident damaged cars as they are, collect them free and pay by bank transfer.
Can I scrap a Cat S or Cat N buy-back?
Yes. If you kept the car after an insurance write-off, you can scrap it with us whatever the category.
Will you collect a damaged car from a garage or body shop?

Does accident damage reduce the price?
