What are the scrap prices around Scotland?

Scrap cars in Scotland are priced up based on the value of scrap metal. The overall value of scrap metal changes regularly, but we keep our finger on the pulse so that we know how much you should be getting for your vehicle. Generally speaking, heavier cars are worth more than lighter ones. This is simply because heavier vehicles are made from more metal.

Scrap vs salvage - what's the difference?

Salvage cars are broken down and taken apart, with their parts being resold or reused in other vehicles. Some salvage vehicles are actually restored themselves, too, at the expense of the buyer.

Scrap cars are disposed of entirely. These vehicles will be crushed whole and their materials will be recycled.

What happens to my car after it's scrapped?

If you scrap your car with us in Scotland, it’ll be disposed of by one of the Authorised Treatment Facilities on our network. These facilities get rid of old cars the ‘proper’ way; that means it’s crushed and recycled in line with all government regulations. The process is done professionally and safely.

Can I sell my damaged car even if it's written off or failed an MOT?

Absolutely! We’ll take any and all cars here at Scrap Car Comparison, so don’t be afraid to get a quote even if your car has seen far better days! Write offs, non-runners, MOT failures, and whatever else you can think of are all scrapable with Scrap Car Comparison!

Can I sell my specific model of car with Scrap Car Comparison?

Scrap Car Comparison buys all vehicles, regardless of make or model. We’ve got an experienced team and an extensive database of vehicles already on our system, so there’s a good chance we’ve scrapped or salvaged a motor just like yours already! So, if you drive a foreign import or a one-off special edition, you can get a quote with us and use our service today.

How do I get the best price for my car?

Many older or written-off cars aren’t destined for the scrap heap. Some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Ensure you describe the car’s condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees—our quotes always include free collection.

But the single most important factor to getting the very best price for your scrap car is to speak directly with one of our advisors! After you accept a quote online, we'll give you a call to confirm details and schedule collection. Use this call to share any info that might boost your offer and get the highest payout possible.

Are you prices really guaranteed?

Salvage quotes depend on the car’s condition, not just its weight. Accurately describing the vehicle ensures the highest price and prevents later adjustments. Misrepresentation can result in lower offers.
