How to scrap a car in Congleton

1. Get a quote

Use the form at the top of this page to generate your basic scrap prices. These will be calculated using the current rate for scrap metal, any local averages and the expected weight of your car. You can choose to accept one of these offers should you wish, but we'll also give you a call to get some more information on the car and see if we can boost that price.

2, Provide more details

Our call is your chance to get a better offer for your car. We'll ask you to describe your car in detail and the more you can say, the more accurate prices we can provide. Make sure you're honest, as providing false information to try and boost your price will only result in it being renegotiated upon collection.

3. Arrange Collection

Once you've accepted a price, we'll put you in touch with one of our collection agents and lock that price in. The collection agent will give your car a quick inspection to ensure it is as described, and then once it has been removed the money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

How much are scrap cars worth in Congleton?

Your scrap vehicle will be priced up based primarily on the current scrap metal cost nationwide, not just limited to Congleton values. 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 any car for scrap?

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.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

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 scrap an MOT failure or insurance write-off?

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.
