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.

Bringing light and positive energy at a difficult time.



I am overflowing with gratitude for the incredible kindness and positive energy radiated by Caledonian Auto Salvage and especially Edward. Today, my daughter faced a very distressing situation that caused her significant anxiety.

Amidst this turmoil Edward stepped in, embodying pure compassion and understanding. His presence and actions were like a beacon of light in a moment of darkness. The genuine kindness and high-frequency energy he brought to the situation were truly transformative and couldn't have been timed better.

This experience has profoundly impacted me. As a mother, witnessing someone go out of their way to assist my daughter during such a challenging time reaffirmed my belief in the power of good energy and the drawing of positive frequencies into our lives. It is clear that Caledonian Auto Salvage operates not just with professional excellence, but with a deep, heartfelt commitment to the well-being of those they serve.

I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of their services. They have shown that they are not just a company that gets the job done, but one that does so with heart, humanity, and high vibrational energy. Thank you, Edward, for your exceptional service and for being a true light in our time of need.

With deepest gratitude and positivity

Ed and his son had said ‘they had never been beat yet’ , I was beginning to think this could be it, but sure enough they managed to move our car after laying for many years, it was a huge challenge.
They could win awards for their patience and sense of humour.
Thanks so much for being so efficient and on time and providing much needed laughter during this lockdown.
