At Desguaces Carend we offer a comprehensive scrapyard service in Barcelona: we buy damaged and written-off cars, tow vehicles free of charge, handle DGT deregistration, sell used spare parts with warranty and rent vehicles for production companies and filming. Over 30 years of experience back us up.
From buying your damaged car to selling spare parts, including free towing, DGT deregistration management and vehicle rental for filming. We explain each service in detail.
We buy cars with any type of mechanical or electrical fault in Barcelona and throughout Catalonia. It doesn't matter if the engine is seized, the gearbox is broken, the head gasket is blown or it has a complex electronic fault: if the repair is not cost-effective for you, we provide a solution.
We value the vehicle in its current condition, taking into account the value of reusable parts, metal weight and spare parts market demand. We give you a firm offer within 24 hours and, if you accept, we coordinate free pickup.
Types of faults we buy: broken engine, damaged gearbox, blown head gasket, clutch problems, electronic faults, injection system failures, overheating issues, vehicles that won't start, cars with blown turbo, and any other fault that makes the repair exceed the vehicle's value.
If your vehicle has suffered an accident, a frontal, side or rear impact, or has been declared a total loss by your insurance company, at Desguaces Carend we buy it. We accept vehicles with structural damage, deployed airbags, chassis damage or any other type of accident-related damage.
We also buy cars with weather-related damage such as hail, flooding or hailstorms. These vehicles usually have a very active spare parts market, allowing us to offer competitive prices.
We especially value: cars with frontal, side or rear damage, vehicles with deployed airbags, cars with water or flood damage, vehicles with impact to critical areas (engine, trunk), and cars that have rolled over.

Required documents: vehicle registration certificate, technical inspection card, owner's ID (DNI/NIE). If you have lost any of these documents, we can advise you on how to obtain duplicates.

“I called on a Monday morning because my car wouldn't start. They made me an offer via WhatsApp, I accepted, and by Wednesday they had picked it up from my home in Badalona. Very fast and professional.”— Carlos M., Badalona
“I needed an engine for an old car and the scrapyard had it in stock. They sent it the next day and it worked perfectly. Much cheaper than a new one.”— Anna R., Sabadell
