Services available in Leeds

We might be called Scrap Car Comparison but we do much more than that. Here’s a brief rundown of some of the services we provide:

Scrap your car

Some cars can only be sold as scrap, and we’re here for when that’s the case. Your car’s weight will dictate the price in what is one of our simplest forms of sale. We’ll ensure this is the best price possible in line with the national averages.

Sell a damaged car

Selling a damaged car can be tricky, especially explaining the problem to every prospective buyer. With our system you only need to tell us, and we’ll find a specialist buyer for you in an instant. Take the hassle away from selling broken vehicles.

Salvage your old vehicle

Did you know that your car might actually be worth more than just its scrap price? You could make even more money by selling as salvage if it still has some usable parts. Our experts will talk you through everything.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Some vehicles can be vital to your business’ productivity. We know that a broken van could cost you money. That’s why our service is exactly the same for vans and even commercial vehicles. So if you have a problem, just give us a call.

What are the scrap car prices in Leeds?

All scrap car prices are determined by the weight of your car, as you’re effectively selling a large piece of scrap metal. The prices you’re quoted will reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. If your car is to be salvaged then we’ll find the buyer offering the best price nationally, rather than local to you. We’ll even get the best price to help you scrap your van too

How is salvaging different from scrapping?

A salvage vehicle is one where parts are reused to help repair other vehicles – this is often called ‘spares and repairs’. Quite regularly a salvage vehicle will sell for a better price than one just sold as scrap. Find out how to salvage your car.

What will happen to my scrap car?

Your scrap car will be broken down and recycled, in line with legislation regarding environmental standards. These materials will eventually be used again in the automotive manufacturing process. That means your scrap car will actually help a brand new car find its way off the production line! Find out more about car recycling.

Can you scrap my specific make and model?

We can scrap all car makes and models, no matter how old or obscure they may be. Whether you’ve got a classic from the 1960s or the newest electric vehicle ready to go driving in London’s ULEZ. We can even scrap the largest of commercial vehicles and cars you’ve had imported – there’s nothing we won’t scrap!

Even if your car is the rarest of the rare, our team is well prepared. We have experts on hand to get you a price even if no-one else knows what it is you own!

Can my damaged, broken, missing MOT car be scrapped?

Any car can be scrapped, no matter how bad the condition of it is. Whether it’s been badly damaged in an accident, has failed its latest MOT or your insurers have deemed it a write off, our service is here to get you the very best price and a collection in an instant. Just give our team a call on 03333 44 99 50 and our team of experts will set you up with a quote within moments. You can also use the quote form at the top of this page.

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.
