Company details
Written by the company
Caledonian auto salvage is a relatively new entrant to the online car buyer space. Specialising in cars that are at the end of their life or have a level of damage which will limit their value to other traditional buyers, Car buyer Scotland will often buy cars that are difficult to sell elsewhere. We will buy old, damaged and scrap cars and will collect from any Scottish home address. We will even buy motors that have failed their MOT or are ‘write-offs’ having been written off by insurance companies as unroadworthy. Unlike most traditional online car buyers, they will buy cars that are classified by insurers as category A, B, C, D, S or N. Potentially a ‘buyer of last resort’, they will nevertheless strive to offer a highly competitive price for cars that others will not want to purchase.

I highly recommend this service for…scrapping cars
I highly recommend this service for scrap car collection near Elgin. They collected two cars from my house and the entire process was seamless. The driver was very polite, professional, and arrived exactly on time. While scrapping cars isn't a glamorous job, they handled it with real professionalism and made it completely stress-free. 5-star service, regards Ddz

Scammers,
Beware praying on the elderly.
A guy called Eddie kept turning up at my grandma's and kept bothering her for weeks until she let them scrap her car which there was nothing wrong with.
Also this firm is running illegally and been closed down on companies house since 2019, report them for a audit.
Don't use this firm! Stay well clear.

Great service & excellent communication. We live in a rural location, but these guys turned up when they said they would and took away a scrap van for us.

Contacted Edward at 9 regarding scrapping a car. The car was gone within the hour and money in my back minutes later. Can’t fault. Would recommend
Great experience
Great experience, incredibly fast and efficient! I live on the Isle of Skye and very few salvage companies will collect vehicles here, these guys came out within hours to pick up my old motors.
I’ll certainly be spreading the word here about them. Very happy customer.
Great job!
Quick, efficient and friendly service. Highly recommended.
Speedy Service
Good speedy service from these guys and would recommend for a hassle free straight upfront transaction.

The guy who owns or works here called Edward gall for the company thinks its acceptable to write comments on facebook about a missing dog stating that someone should run it over and turn it into jam. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. I wouldnt go near a company that employs or person owns it if they think its acceptable to insinuate animal abuse

Easy to do business with
Great communication with Edd, he gave me some good advice, a fair price and dealt with all paperwork. An easy transaction with money into my account before he picked up the car, I would recommend Caledonian Auto Salvage for a quick & easy disposal!
