Sell a damaged car in Geddington with one simple price

Geddington sits just off the A43, a busy road linking Corby and Kettering. Accidents happen at junctions, on bends and in car parks, and the result is often a car that is drivable in theory but not worth fixing. That is exactly the kind of car we buy.
Accident damaged car buyers near Kettering and Corby
We are based in Corby, and Geddington is right between us and Kettering. We buy cars with front-end damage, side impacts, rear-end shunts, and damage to wheels and suspension. If the car cannot be driven, that is no problem, because our collections are carried out with our own recovery trucks from Rapid Recovery Corby.
What about write-offs?
You can sell an insurance write-off to us if you kept the car as a buy-back. A quick guide to the categories:
- Cat A: the whole car must be crushed.
- Cat B: the body shell must be crushed, though 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.
All cars we buy go to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and notifies the DVLA. Our certificate of destruction guide explains why the CoD matters.
Water damage by the River Ise
Geddington's old bridge and ford cross the River Ise, and low ground near a river can flood after heavy rain. A car that has driven into deep water, or been parked where water rose, can suffer serious engine and electrical damage. We buy flood damaged cars and collect them in the same way as any other vehicle.
How is a damaged car valued?
| Factor | Effect |
|---|---|
| Weight | The biggest factor, as scrap is priced per tonne |
| Scrap metal price | Changes with the market |
| Make and model | Some models are worth more |
| Engine, gearbox, catalytic converter, wheels | A complete car is worth more |
| Keys and V5C | Help with processing |
Damage often matters less than you might expect. A car with a smashed front end may still carry its engine, gearbox and catalytic converter, and those count. For more, read our damaged car cost guide, or get your instant price now. The price stands as long as the car is complete and as described. If anything differs on the day, we explain before loading and you can say no.
Collecting from home, a garage or a body shop
Damaged cars are often not at home. If yours is at a garage or body shop, tell us and we can collect from the forecourt. If it is on your drive with a buckled wheel or a dragging bumper, we use a winch and a beavertail transporter, a spec lift tow truck, or dollies under the damaged corner.
Before we arrive, take out anything you want to keep. After an accident, belongings often end up under seats or in the footwells, so check carefully. Remove any dashcam, as the footage may matter to your insurer, and take out parking permits and sat navs too. If the car has a private plate, transfer or retain it with the DVLA first, or it will be lost.
Documents for a damaged car sale
- Photo ID, such as a driving licence or passport.
- Proof of address.
- The V5C, if you have it.
- Any write-off letter from your insurer, if relevant.
- Keys, if available.
Payment, tax and insurance
We pay instantly by bank transfer, never cash. Cash payments for scrap cars are illegal under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Once the DVLA knows the car is scrapped, any full months of tax are refunded automatically. Cancel your insurance yourself after collection.
