Serving Derry and Strabane& surrounding areas
If you have a written-off or damaged vehicle in Derry and Strabane, you are likely to receive a significantly better return by selling it as salvage rather than as scrap metal. Scrap dealers price by weight, whereas we value the usable parts on your car — engine, gearbox, body panels, electronics — which on a newer Cat S or Cat N write-off can be worth considerably more. Sellers in Derry city and the wider Strabane district regularly find that our offer beats what their insurer puts forward as a buy-back figure after a total-loss settlement. We collect across the area at no cost to you, and payment is arranged promptly once a deal is agreed. If your car has been written off or sustained accident or mechanical damage, request a free valuation today and see what it is actually worth.

Salvage Questions for Derry and Strabane
Will I get more than scrap value for my written-off car in Derry and Strabane?
In most cases, yes. Scrap merchants pay based on the kerb weight of your vehicle and the current price of metal, which tends to be a low baseline. We assess what the serviceable parts on your specific car are worth, and for a newer or mid-range vehicle that figure is almost always higher than a scrap quote.
Can you beat my insurer's buy-back offer in Derry?
Insurer buy-back offers on total-loss settlements are often set conservatively, and many sellers in Derry find our valuation comes out ahead. We price based on parts demand rather than on a standardised write-off formula, so it is always worth getting a quote from us before accepting what your insurer proposes.
Do you buy Cat N write-offs in the Strabane area?
Yes, Cat N vehicles are among the most common salvage cars we purchase across Derry and Strabane. Because the structural integrity is intact on a Cat N, a greater proportion of components tend to be reusable, which usually means a stronger offer compared with more heavily damaged categories.
How quickly can you collect a non-runner from Derry and Strabane?
Once we have agreed a price, we aim to arrange collection as promptly as possible, including from locations where the vehicle is not driveable. We bring the appropriate equipment for non-runners and there is no charge for the collection itself, wherever in the Derry and Strabane area the vehicle is located.
What if my car is currently held at a garage or bodyshop in the area?
That is not a problem. We regularly collect directly from garages, bodyshops, and storage yards across Derry and Strabane, provided you are the registered keeper and entitled to authorise the collection. Just let us know the location when you request your valuation and we will factor it into the arrangements.
