Scrap car services in Edinburgh

Here’s everything we can do for you in and around Edinburgh

Scrap your car

Our basic service, every price we quote will start off as a scrap quote. We can get you a scrap price in just 30 seconds with some very basic information, so you could get your car sold by the end of the week! We've sold cars in as little as 72 hours before, so don't delay.

Sell a car as salvage

Some cars are simply too good to be sent straight to the scrap pile, and if that is an accurate description of yours, then you could get more for selling as salvage. This will see your car stripped down to be sold on as spares and repairs. Speak to one of our team to find out if you could qualify.

Sell a damaged car

No matter how badly damaged, we can get you a great price for your car. Don’t waste time with time wasters, either. Tell our team your issue just the once and we’ll have a buyer for you in moments.

Scrap a van or commercial vehicle

Need to get rid of something bigger, like a van, truck or even a bus? Scrap Car Comparison can get you a quote for these vehicles too. In fact, we can even value an entire fleet if you need! The best part? Bigger, heavier vehicles are usually worth more money!

What are the scrap car prices in Edinburgh?

The good news is that scrap car prices are directly linked to the weight of your car. Got something bigger than a car? We can price and scrap your van too. And those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards in Edinburgh and the wider Scotland area offer competitive prices for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we’ll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Car salvaging is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t dismantled and recycled, but instead fixed or stripped for parts. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need to know more about the car’s condition.

Can you scrap my specific make and model of car?

We scrap all well known car makes and models across the country. That includes the newest electric cars, non-ULEZ compliant diesels and petrols and older classic cars. We can even scrap imports, modified cars and carry out commercial fleet disposal. We use your registration plate to find the specific model and price according to the manufacturer’s weight of the vehicle. On the rare occasion we don’t find your make and model details we’ll escalate your quote to our specialist team to research the vehicle and find you an unbeatable price.

Can I still sell or scrap a heavily damaged car?

Yes, we can scrap just about any car or van in any condition. We might need to adjust the prices we offer if there are parts of your vehicle missing. But if you have a damaged car, a car with no current MOT or even if it’s an insurance write off we can get you a price and arrange a collection.

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.
