Salvage your car

Selling your car for salvage is a great alternative to scrapping it. Salvaging (also known as selling your vehicle for parts) means it will be carefully dismantled so that usable components can be removed, reused, or resold. Because of this, salvage cars often hold much more value than scrap vehicles. We’ll just need a few extra details about your car to determine if it qualifies for salvage, but if it does, the offers you receive could be significantly higher!

Scrap a van or commercial vehicle

When your company vehicle has reached the end of its working life, sell it easily with Scrap Car Comparison. Whether it’s a van, truck, or bus that’s no longer performing as it should, it might be time to upgrade. You can scrap your commercial vehicle, or even an entire fleet, through our service, just as simply as scrapping a regular car.

How to scrap your car in Gloucester

1. Get a quote

Just enter your vehicle details into our online form (or give us a quick call), and we’ll provide you with an instant quote. This initial offer will be based on scrap value, but if it’s lower than you expected, your car might qualify as salvage, which could mean a much higher payout! When asked, simply share a few additional details about your vehicle, and we’ll check if it can be sold for salvage - potentially earning you significantly more than the standard scrap price!

2. Give us more information

Providing a bit of extra information about your vehicle can really help increase its valuation and get you better offers from our buyers! The more details you share, the more accurate and competitive your quote will be. Therefore, it’s definitely worth spending a few extra minutes on it. We may ask about the condition of key components like the engine, gearbox, or wheels, but don’t worry; our system is designed to be simple and user-friendly. You don’t need to be a mechanic to understand it!

3. Collection & payment

After you’ve accepted an offer, you can schedule a collection at a time and place that suits you best. Simply choose a convenient location that’s accessible for the recovery truck. If your car’s at a garage or somewhere other than your driveway, that’s no problem - we can collect it from there too! Once the pickup is complete, your payment will be processed and transferred straight into your bank account, making the whole process quick and hassle-free.

Scrap car value in Gloucester

Scrap cars in Gloucester are valued the same way we value them all over the UK. It’s the metal that’s important, so the weight of your vehicle is a primary factor in determining what it’s worth as scrap. Why is the metal important? Simply put, when it’s crushed the buyer will be left with a large chunk of scrap metal which they’ll then sell. Heavy vehicles are made from more metal. This is why it can be very lucrative to scrap an old van!

Can I scrap my written off, crash-damaged car?

Of course! You can scrap any vehicle, even if it’s suffered any kind of damage! Written off in a crash? Major mechanical failure? Failed its MOT? It doesn’t matter to us, or to our buyers! We’ll get you a price and they’re eager to purchase your vehicle, so get a quote now!

The differences between scrap and salvage

Scrap cars are typically so damaged that there’s nothing left to do with them but crush them and recycle the materials to start again. Category A write offs are the best example of this – they must, by law, be scrapped. Salvage vehicles, however, can be restored and put back on the road. That being said, many times they’re broken apart and have their parts taken out. Those parts will then be reused in other vehicles, and the rest of the vehicle will be scrapped.

Can I sell my particular make & model of vehicle with Scrap Car Comparison?

Yes. You can sell any vehicle with Scrap Car Comparison, even if it’s a foreign import, has been heavily customised, or is generally just a bit rare! Our team have years of experience so there’s a good chance we’ve dealt with the same or similar kind of car in the past. But, even if we haven’t, we’ll still be able to use our vast network of buyers to track down the best price going for your unusual vehicle.

What happens to my scrap car?

By law, all cars that are scrapped must be recycled. At least 95% of the vehicle’s total mass needs to be processed and recycled so that there is minimal wastage in the industry. Scrap Car Comparison ONLY works with scrap & salvage buyers who operate in this way.

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.
