How to scrap your car in Norwich
1. Get a quote
Just enter your details into our quick online form, and we’ll find a fair, accurate, and competitive price for your car. All we need to get started is your postcode and vehicle registration number, and you’ll get an instant quote in seconds. Not happy with the offer? Add a few more details when prompted, and we’ll check whether your car qualifies for salvage instead, which could mean a much higher payout!
2. More information
Our team will ask for a little more information about your vehicle's condition and key components to help us determine whether it’s better as scrap or salvage. This helps us build a clearer picture of your car or van so we can give you the most accurate valuation possible. The more details you provide, the more precise your quote will be. Once you’re happy with the offer, you can accept it right away! At this point we recommend removing any personal items (including any personalised number plates) and ensuring the paperwork you have is all in order.
3. Collection & payment
Once you’ve accepted an offer (and the price is guaranteed), it’s time to arrange collection. You can choose a time and place that suits you best. Make sure you have valid ID and proof of address for the collection. When we arrive, the driver will give the vehicle a quick once-over to confirm all the details match, then it’ll be taken away. Your buyer will sort the relevant DVLA paperwork and the payment will then be processed and transferred directly into your bank account that same day. Cash sales are not offered in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

Yes. We can arrange collection anywhere in Norwich and across Norfolk through our network of scrap and salvage buyers, so wherever you’re based you can get a quote and book a free collection. Even non-runners are no problem, as long as our recovery truck can reach the car.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes. The DVLA automatically refunds any full remaining months of tax once you tell them the car has been scrapped. You don’t need to claim it separately, the refund is sent to the registered keeper. Just make sure your name and address on the V5C are up to date.
For a full guide on reclaiming unused tax and cancelling your insurance when scrapping a car, read here.
Can I scrap my car if it still has outstanding finance?
Not until the finance is cleared. The car legally belongs to the finance company until the agreement is settled, so you’ll need to pay off the balance or speak to them first. Once it’s settled you’re free to scrap it with us as normal.
Read our detailed guide on scrapping with outstanding finance here.
Can I sell a car without the keys?
Yes, but you must let us know beforehand if this is the case. Missing keys can make collection more difficult, so while it can be done, we need to make sure your buyer is prepared.
What will happen to my scrap car?
Scrap your car with Scrap Car Comparison and it will be taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) to be crushed and recycled professionally and safely. Once it’s scrapped, if requested you’ll be sent a Certificate of Destruction. If you have a personalised number plate, you should remove this before the car is scrapped otherwise it will be lost forever.
How is salvaging different to scrapping?
When a car is salvaged, the buyer will break it apart and retrieve any surviving parts from inside that can be resold or reused in other vehicles. Salvage cars are usually worth more than scrap. Scrap vehicles are simply crushed and their materials are then recycled.
Can I sell my specific make or model?
Yes, we can scrap any car that you might wish to sell. It doesn’t matter if it’s a super rare model or a foreign import, our team know how much it’s worth and how to get you the proper value. Over the years, we’ve dealt with all sorts of vehicles here at Scrap Car Comparison, so for instant offers from local, professional buyers, get a free quote right now.
How much is a scrap car worth in Norwich?
How much you get depends mainly on the current scrap metal price in the Norwich area, since scrapping a vehicle essentially amounts to scrapping the metal it’s made from. Scrapping a vehicle essentially amounts to scrapping the metal it’s made from, so the weight of the car plays a big role in determining its value. Heavier vehicles are generally worth more. There are other factors that influence the offers you’ll get though, including age, condition, make, and model.
Can I sell my damaged, broken, written off car?
Yes, your damaged, broken, or failed MOT car can be scrapped. Get an instant quote and arrange collection for your car in Norwich – even if it’s a non-runner! You don’t even need your V5C logbook to get started, though having it speeds things up.Â
If you’ve lost your paperwork entirely, you can still scrap your car, just let our team know as early as possible and we’ll work with you to get the best offer.
How do I get the best price for my car?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren't destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car's condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that's the price you'll be paid. 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 occasionally result in lower offers, however our team will let you know and share why.
