What is the fastest way to sell my car?

There's nothing worse than getting up early in the morning when it's still dark and cold and your car won't turn over.

Bumpers deals on errrr...bumpers!

You might as well have stayed in bed, pal!

It could be a variety of reasons she won't fire up, but often it can be battery related.

Your lights, radio and dashboard all flicker on, but the battery isn't giving you jack.

That's because lights and radio require a lot less power than the starter needs.

So your battery might be capable of switching them on, but not have enough power to start your engine.

If that's the case it's time to give it a decent charge, or get a replacement battery.

It'll probably cross your mind to go to a car parts retailer and buy a brand new battery but that can easily cost over £100.

A far cheaper option is buying a used car battery that's in perfectly good working order, sometimes almost practically new in fact.. and paying a lot less!

The Scrappers - Metro Salvage see thousands of late models come through their Bolton gates with perfectly good batteries that are great working order.

So what's wrong with the cars these batteries are in you might wonder..

Well they are often write-offs, mainly from accidents. The majority of the car might be knackered from an impact, or it was simply too expensive to fix and becomes a write off instead.

If that's the case, there will be parts of the car or the van, that are still in fantastic working order, it's just not in that particular car anymore.

So you see, that's why the Scrappers have access to so many bargain car batteries that work as good as new because they are as good as new!

So if you're looking for a replacement car battery Bolton, or a cheap car battery Bolton, or a cheap car battery near me - then call on the Scrappers or their sister company All Tyred Up who can replace your current car battery with a better one and save you money. 

Oh, and you don't have to live in Bolton or near Bolton either, you can order your replacement battery from The Scrappers as mail order too. 

Orders are usually dispatched on the same day of purchase. 

They don't just do replacement car batteries either, you can buy all kinds of replacement car parts.

Who buys Audis Manchester?

CAB FAB!

Taxi!!!! Well don't expect these two to pick you up in a hurry - even while restrictive curfews are in place.

Yep these traditional London Taxi cabs have seen far better days, bless them.

Once a fab cab to a drab cab, this red and black taxi will both soon be grab cabs when Gloria, our glorious grabber, has her wicked way with them!

She'll tear and shred them to pieces of scrap metal that'll be loaded into an enormous container before heading to a metal recycling plant and being turned into something else, something useful again.

And that could even be another taxi!!

It's all part of the recycling process, that red cab and that black cab will be fab again as something new made out of their former selves.

As things currently stand, there won't be quite as much demand for cabs at the moment with travel restrictions in place. 

It looks like Bolton, home of The Scrappers which is Britain's best salvage yard will have to remain a restricted zone for a while longer.  

But hopefully the vulnerable will be protected and everyone will stay safe.

We just want to remind folks again that we offer a marvellous delivery service on all used car parts, should you need something to help keep you on the road. Dispatch is usually on the same day of purchase too!

But we are also staying open and operating social distancing as we have been doing since March. And we are open seven days a week 👍

But don't forget you can access so much from our website or by talking to our staff by calling 01204388488.

So if you think your vehicle is in need of looking at then you can count on us. 

You can still scrap your car too, even if you live in a tier three zone. 

Remember that our vehicle collection agents won't need to come into your home so there is no worry about breaking any bubbles. 

Scrapping your car with The Scrappers also means you get the best possible payout for your vehicle. 

The money goes into your bank account and you will be issued with a certificate of destruction which means your car has been scrapped in accordance with government guidelines and dealt with in an environmentally friendly manner. 

And it's always worth bearing in mind that we have some great runners in our yard if you're looking for an inexpensive replacement vehicle. Just tell us what you're looking for! So if you want to buy a cheap van, or buy a cheap car - ask us!

And we also buy cars, runners that people want to sell on. We pay well for cars, so if you're thinking, 'who will buy my car?' or 'who buys VWs? or 'who buys Audis Manchester?' or 'who buys BMWs?", the answer is The Scrappers.

Sell my car Blackburn

CAR-DENING!! 🌿🚙

We don't half find some finds.

Vehicles that have literally been left to rot for years. 

So long in fact that half of them have sprouted gardens or become habitats for wildlife like field mice.

Others have been left under trees and you should see what that does to the paintwork over time.

Take this old Taxi cab for example pictured below… it’s been under some shrubbery for a while and as a result it’s been exposed to sooty mould - which is actually green fly poop! 

During the warmer months, bugs like green flies can leave a very sticky residue on the paintwork of a car and it can be a bugger to shift! 

This Taxi has obviously been left as a dumping ground for green fly sap over the years, you can barely see the original paintwork! It’s going to take some elbow grease to shift this sap hopefully a strong jet wash will shift it. 

And look at this beast here, it’s what we call a car-den - a car garden! Mother nature has been firmly bedding in over the past years, making the boot extremely difficult to open.

We do get some interesting states of cars and vans coming into the yard. 

Some have been covered in bird poop, you have to be cautious handling a vehicle like that as bird excrement can be bad for your health. 

Other vehicles have just rusted beyond imagination, ones that have been nearer the coast tend to rust faster than inland. 

So if you do want to protect your car's paintwork regular washing and waxing is key. You should also be mindful of where you park your vehicle too.

Parking under trees for long spells is never wise. The sap from leaves can also affect paintwork and in autumn falling leaves can pose problems with your car. 

If your car is beyond saving, however, look to The Scrappers. You might be thinking, "I want to scrap my car Bolton way", or "I want to scrap my van in Manchester, "I want to sell my car Bury way. You might also think, “how can I sell my car Blackburn way,” or “where can I sell my car Preston?”

Then just contact the Scrappers!

The Scrappers are a car scrap yard Bolton based, but they have scrap car collection services nationwide.

You could have a scrap car Stockport way, or you want to ‘sell my car Leigh way’. That’s no bother for their strong and ever expanding network of vehicle collection agents. 

You may want to know the scrap value of a Vauxhall Vectra, or you have thought, 'where would I ‘sell my Audi', or where can I sell my Mercedes Bolton, running or not, the Scrappers always offer the best prices going.

So if you’re based in Bolton of further afield, stress not - the Scrappers have your back.

Who buys accident damaged cars?

Most motorists will tell you driving in the rain is more of a chore than pleasure.

Steamed up windows, wipers going ten to the dozen and water logged pot holes that douse your motor in muddy gritty sludge.

Oh the joys... 🚙 🌧 🚙 🌧

It is a ball ache and best to avoid driving if possible. But when you have to make that journey you can stay safer on the roads by taking your time and slowly down to avoid aquaplaning. 

Turning your headlights on can help you see more clearly as well as make you more visible to other drivers. 

It's also wise to give other cars more space as stopping suddenly on a wet road can take longer than a dry road.

The Scrappers see more bumped cars in wetter weather as sometimes drivers overlook the need to be extra cautious and shunts happen. 

If the damage is repairable off the vehicle goes to the repair shop, but if it's a write off then off to the salvage it pops instead!

The Scrappers will buy write offs and accident damaged cars, they'll even buy flood damaged vehicles. So if you're thinking, "who will buy my accident damaged car?, or "who buys accident damaged cars?", or "who buys write-offs?" - you now know - The Scrappers.

So if you've had an unfortunate mishap in your vehicle keep the Scrappers in mind.

You should also keep an extra eye on your tyres during wet weather.
