How to scrap a car in Northwich

1. Get a quote

Simply put your details into our online price generator to see your instant scrap offers. These will be calculated by taking the weight of your vehicle and the current rate for scrap metal nationwide. You can choose to accept this offer there and then, but we'll call you anyway to discuss any further options that may be available to you.

2. Provide more details

Our call is your opportunity to get an even bigger price for your car. We'll ask you to describe its current condition, and it's important that you give as much detail as possible. Every piece of information we have helps us tailor the quote to your exact situation. This is where we'll check to see if you could get more by reclassifying the car as salvage. Once you're happy, it's up to you to accept the offer and we'll move onto the next stage.

3. Arrange collection

With an offer now accepted, we'll lock that price in to ensure you get every penny. It's important to remember that this price does remain subject to inspection, and any misrepresentation will only result in a renegotiation at collection if the car does not match what you described. Once the collector is happy, they'll load up the car, take it away and the money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

Can I sell any car to be scrapped?

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 are scrap car prices like in Northwich?

All scrap car prices we quote in Northwich are based on the current value of scrap metal nationwide. This rate is then compared to the weight of your car, where a value is calculated. We’ll then check the prices local to you to ensure you’re getting the best price possible. We’ll also ask about the condition of your car to see if we could reclassify it as salvage, where age, condition and many other factors take effect.

What happens to scrap cars?

Scrap cars are sent directly to Authorised Treatment Facilities and crushed. Salvage vehicles, on the other hand, will be broken down into any reusable parts first. Sometimes the car itself may actually be repaired and returned to the road, otherwise it will be used as spares and repairs.

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.
