Scrap your car
Our core services and the easiest vehicle sale you'll ever experience. Simply get a quote using our online calculator and we'll get to work finding you the very best price. You're guaranteed a quick sale and free collection is offered as standard.
Sell your car as salvage
Selling your car as salvage is a better alternative in many cases. If your car is still too good for scrap, salvaging allows you to sell it for parts instead. We'll need a bit more information about the car, but you'll get MUCH better prices in return!
Sell your damaged car
Don't let a broken car get you down, sell it in an instant with us and we'll guarantee you a buyer. Don't wait around for people trying to haggle you down on the private market - we'll get the absolute best price you can find and we'll do all the hard work for you.
Sell your van or commercial vehicle
Vans and other commercial vehicles, such as trucks and buses, also come to the end of their working life eventually. In many cases, larger vehicles like these have an even higher scrap value, so don’t wait to get a quote for your old, damaged, or worn out work vehicle, or even an entire fleet, and discover how much it could be worth today.
How to scrap a car in Sidmouth
1. Get a quote
It's simple to get a quote from Scrap Car Comparison - all you need to do is submit a few bits of information into the online form on this page. Your vehicle reg & postcode will allow us to value your car and find the buyer willing to offer you the best price!
2. Provide more detail
Think your car is worth a bit more than you've been quoted? You might be right! Your initial valuation is a scrap price, but with a few extra details about the vehicle, we can give you a salvage price instead. This means your car will be used for parts instead of scrap metal, and can get you significantly more money!
3. Arrange collection
Once you're happy with the price we've found, you can accept and guarantee that value. This means that, as long as the details you gave us about your car was accurate, you'll be paid that value down to the last penny. With an offer accept, you'll be given the chance to choose when and where you want the collection of your vehicle to taken place.

What happens to scrap cars?
All scrap vehicles must be recycled in line with the government regulations. The vast majority of your car will be broken down into its original materials, and these are then often fed back into the manufacturing process. Recycled materials from scrap cars are often used in the manufacture of new cars.
What is salvaging?
Car salvaging is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t dismantled and recycled, but instead fixed or stripped for parts. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need to know more about the car’s condition.
How much are scrap cars worth in Sidmouth?
Every scrap car price we generate is based on the weight of your car and the current rate for scrap vehicles nationwide. We’ll also check local trends as well as taking into account the condition of your car if it could be sold as a salvage vehicle.
How do I get the best price for my car?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren't destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car's condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that's the price you'll be paid. 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 occasionally result in lower offers, however our team will let you know and share why.
