    You used to have to pay them to collect a scrap car but then scrap metal prices flew sky high, i got £200 for an old fiesta before Xmas.

    Hi
    Thanks, did you take it to them or did they collect it?, it's a Micra I have.

    They collected it, but they were local to me. Micra isnt to big so might not be worth a lot scrapped. If you are in the Ballymena/Cullybackey area give Jacky Kennedy a call, he breaks older stuff and buys anything

    Hi
    Thanks for your replies, I'm in the Newtownabbey area, so it might be worth a call and I'll probably try some of the local ones here, thanks again.
