Scrap car services in Exeter

Everything we can do for you and a broken vehicle in Exeter.

Scrap your car

Without a doubt the easiest sale you will ever go through for a car. Just give us two small pieces of information - your postcode and registration number - and we'll get your scrap offers in 30 seconds. With collectors all over the country, you'll be amazed at how quick you can sell a car.

Sell a car as salvage

Some cars have parts on them that can be used elsewhere, and it's a shame to render them useless just because the car needs scrapping. Sell the car as salvage and these parts will be removed to sell elsewhere - possibly getting you more as a result!

Sell a damaged vehicle

Scrap cars are almost always going to have some kind of damage – we understand that. That’s why here at Scrap Car Comparison, no level of damage is too much! Our buyers are interested in every vehicle, whether it’s a bit banged up or written off!

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Looking to sell something on the larger side of motoring? We've scrapped vans, trucks, buses and almost all commercial vehicles you can think of. Get in touch today and our team will guide you through the process. We can even help with fleet disposal if this is needed.

How to scrap a car in Exeter

1. Get a quote

Use our online quote generator to find your scrap offers. These will be calculated based on the weight of your car and current rates for scrap metal. We'll then get in touch to discuss your car in further detail and see if we can extract any more value as salvage.

2. Provide more details

When we get in touch it's important to give us the most detailed and (more importantly) accurate description of your car possible. This allows us to recalculate your offer to be in line with your car's current condition, and whether or not it could qualify as a salvage offer.

3. Arrange collection

Once you've locked in a price we'll connect you with one of our collection agents who will come to remove your car at a convenient time for you. This service is absolutely free and your money will be transferred as soon as the vehicle is removed.

What are scrap car prices in Exeter?

The good news is that scrap car prices are directly linked to the weight of your car. Got something bigger than a car? We can price and scrap your van too. And those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards in Exeter and the wider Devon county offer competitive prices for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we’ll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.

Can I scrap any make or model of car?

We scrap all well known car makes and models across the country. That includes the newest electric cars, non-ULEZ compliant diesels and petrols and older classic cars. We can even scrap imports, modified cars and carry out commercial fleet disposal. We use your registration plate to find the specific model and price according to the manufacturer’s weight of the vehicle. On the rare occasion we don’t find your make and model details we’ll escalate your quote to our specialist team to research the vehicle and find you an unbeatable price.

Can I scrap a damaged, broken down car or an MOT failure?

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.

What happens to scrap cars?

If your car is scrapped then the vehicle will be recycled. This means all of the components and parts will be stripped and processed in line with national environmental standards. Nearly all of the materials will be used to build new cars in what is considered a circular automotive economy.

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.
