Salvage your car

Selling your car as salvage is an excellent alternative to scrapping it. Salvaging it, otherwise known as selling it for parts, means it'll be carefully disassembled and have its internal bits & pieces removed. These parts will then be reused in other vehicles, or resold. As such, salvage vehicles are much more valuable than scrap. We'll need a few extra details about your car to see if it's salvageable, but the offers you receive will be WAY higher!

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Sell your large company vehicle with Scrap Car Comparison once it's reached the end of its use. If your van, truck, or bus just isn't getting the job done anymore, it might be time for something newer. You can scrap your commercial vehicle - or a whole fleet - with our service, just like you would a car.

How to scrap your car in Luton

1. Get a quote

Simply enter your details into our online form (or give us a call) and we'll get you an instant quote. This price will be for scrap, but if it's a bit lower than you were hoping for, then maybe your car is good enough to be sold as salvage instead? Let's find out! When prompted, give us some extra info about your vehicle and we'll find you a salvage offer, which could be significantly higher than the scrap price!

2. More information

Giving us some extra information about your vehicle can really boost the valuation you receive and get you better offers from our buyers! In fact, the more details you give us about the car, the more accurate our valuation will be, so it can be worth your while to take a few extra minutes. We might ask about the state of the car's engine, gearbox, or wheels. Don't worry - we've designed our system so that it's simple! We're not expecting you to know the ins & outs of your car's inner mechanics!

3. Collection & payment

Once you've accepted a price, you're able to choose a time & location for the car to be collected and taken away. You can pick a time that suits you, and a location that's convenient - it just needs to be accessible for the transporter truck that comes to get it! Car stuck at the garage? That's ok! We can pick it up from somewhere else, other than your driveway. When the collection has been confirmed, your payment will be processed and deposited directly into your bank account.

How much is a scrap car worth in Luton?

Scrap cars in Luton 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 damaged, written off 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!

Scrap vs salvage differences

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 specific make/model 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 will happen 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.
