Scrap your car

Selling a car for scrap with us couldn't be easier! Unlock your prices in 30 seconds by using our online generator and we'll get your car sold for you much faster than you'd do by calling around yourself!

Sell a damaged car

Selling a damaged car doesn’t need to be a hassle. Instead of handling it all yourself, let us make the process fast and straightforward. We’ve got buyers ready and waiting for vehicles just like yours! Simply get in touch, and we’ll take care of everything.

Sell a car as salvage

Some cars are too good to go straight to the scrap pile, and if your car still has some life left in it, you could sell it as salvage. This means that it will be broken down to be sold on elsewhere as spares or repairs. Because of this extra value, salvage cars often sell for more than their scrap equivalents.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Got a van, bus, truck, or other commercial vehicle that's reached the end of its life? Perhaps you need to get rid of an entire fleet of work motors? Look no further than Scrap Car Comparison!

What are scrap car prices in Okehampton?

All of the scrap car prices generated through our system will be calculated in line with national averages and the weight of your car. We take the weight and compare it to the current price of scrap metal to generate your offers. We’ll also check the local Devon area to ensure you’re only getting the best quotes possible.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

When a car is scrapped, it’s crushed and its materials are recycled. The metal, glass, plastics, rubbers, etc. that it’s made up of will be returned to their most basic form, so that they can be made into other things. When a car is salvaged, it’ll be disassembled (either partly or entirely) and its parts will be taken out. These parts will then be used to restore other vehicles. It’s not unheard of for salvage cars to actually be repaired themselves and put back on the road, but this is usually only undertaken by people who really know their way around a car.

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

There is no limit on cars being scrapped – in fact, MOT failures and insurance write-offs are some of the most common vehicles we see. We’ve seen some incredibly damaged vehicles in our time, and we always get a great offer for them.

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.
