How to scrap a car in Winsford

1. Get a quote

Simply enter your vehicle's reg number and your postcode into our online form right here on this page, and we'll present you with a quote for your car in a matter of seconds! If you think your car is worth more than what you're offered initially, you can give us some more information about the vehicle. It can take a few extra minutes, but more details will allow us to see if your car is salvageable. If it is, our buyers are ready to pay YOU much more for it!

2. Provide more details

When prompted, you can give us some more details about the vehicle you're selling and we can use that information to get an accurate picture of your car. The more info we have, the better idea we have of what condition your car is in. This helps us value it as salvage, instead of scrap. Selling your car as salvage will get you better offers because there's more value in the vehicle than simply in the scrap metal it's made from.

3. Arrange collection

When you're happy with the price offered, you can accept and your price becomes guaranteed. This guarantee means that, once the car has been checked over and confirm to be as you described it, the price you accepted cannot be changed. You're given the chance to pick a collection slot, which is when the buyer will come to pick up the car and take it away to their Authorised Treatment Facility to be scrapped/salvaged. With collection confirmed, your payment will be processed and should arrive in your bank account the very same day.

What are the scrap car prices in Winsford?

Scrap Car Comparison bases scrap car prices in Winsford on the current cost of scrap metal. We take into account average prices in the local area to get the best deal for you. When scrapping a car, you’re essentially selling scrap metal, so the price depends on the vehicle’s weight. That’s not to say smaller cars are worthless, though! If your car is salvage, we should be able to get you an even better price. The same goes for scrapping your van.

Can any car be scrapped?

Yes! Any vehicle of any make or model can be scrapped with us here at Scrap Car Comparison. We specialise in getting you the best prices for all vehicles, even if they’re less common car or imported motors. Our team are knowledgeable and experienced enough to get you good money no matter what. Get a quote today for your car and see how much it’s worth in a matter of seconds.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Scrap vehicles are crushed down and their materials (mostly metal, but also plastics and rubber) are gathered in the raw form to be recycled. Salvaging involves breaking the vehicle apart more carefully to strip out any parts that car be reused as they are. This is why they’re worth more – those parts can be resold.

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars in Cheshire and beyond are recycled in line with government legislation. In most cases, your car will be recycled back to its original materials for use in manufacturing again. Buyers in our network ensure your car is responsibly disposed of.

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.
