Sell a damaged car

Did you know you could actually make more money from your car by selling as salvage rather than scrap? If your car is sutiable, it will be broken down and sold on as spare parts instead of just crashed, earning you more as a result. Speak to our team to see if your car could be suitable.

Sell a car as salvage

Sell you car as salvage if you think it's too good for the scrap heap. Salvage cars are sold for parts, which means we'll need some extra details about your vehicle's condition... but you'll also get BETTER offers!

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Commercial vehicles don't last forever, even if your business is on the up! Keep your company running smoothly by scrapping those old vans or trucks when they're no longer pulling their weight, and putting the cash you earn towards something newer!

How to scrap a car in Sandbach

1. Get a quote

Getting an initial quote for your scrap car is quick and easy with Scrap Car Comparison. Simply enter your vehicle’s registration number and postcode, and we’ll show you what local scrap dealers are willing to pay. You’ll receive an instant price with no waiting, and if you’re happy with the offer, you can accept it immediately. Think your car could be worth more? When prompted, provide a few extra details about your vehicle, and we’ll check if it qualifies to be sold as salvage instead.

2. Provide more details

Want to see if your car qualifies for salvage? Our team will ask a few extra questions about its condition, usually focusing on key components such as the engine, gearbox, wheels, and other essential parts. By answering honestly, you’ll get the most accurate price, which is guaranteed once you accept. Spending just a few extra minutes providing these details could result in a significantly higher quote, making it well worth your time.

3. Arrange collection

Once you’ve accepted an offer, you can arrange your vehicle collection. This part of the service is completely free and just as straightforward. The buyer will contact you to confirm a convenient time for collection. If your car is somewhere other than your home, such as a garage where it was being repaired, that is not a problem. Once the driver confirms collection, your payment will be processed. Please note that cash payments are not allowed under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, so your money will be securely transferred directly to your bank account.

What are scrap cars worth in Sandbach?

The value of scrap cars are calculated in Sandbach in the same way they are across the UK. The biggest factor that influences your quote is the weight of your vehicle. Heavy vehicles are generally worth more than lighter ones, and this is simply because they’re made from more recoverable metal. The UK average value of scrap metal, which changes constantly, is used to work out what your car is worth as scrap. This value has less impact when salvaging a car, as other factors play a more significant role.

Can I scrap an MOT failure or insurance write-off?

Of course it can! No level of damage is too much for us, even if your insurers have written it off. Don’t worry about an MOT, either – we’ll get you a buyer with or without a valid MOT certificate.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

While scrap cars are sent directly to Authorised Treatment Facilities and crushed, salvage vehicles 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.

What cars can be scrapped?

Scrap Car Comparison buys all vehicles, regardless of make or model. We’ve got an experienced team and an extensive database of vehicles already on our system, so there’s a good chance we’ve scrapped or salvaged a motor just like yours already! So, if you drive a foreign import or a one-off special edition, you can get a quote with us and use our service today.

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.
