Scrap Car Comparison’s services extend to more than simply scrapping:

Scrap your car

Scrap your old, unwanted or damaged vehicle in no time at all with Scrap Car Comparison. Our entire process, from initial quote to vehicle removal, is often completed in less than 72 hours!

Sell your damaged car

Damage is expected on cars that we buy here at Scrap Car Comparison - people rarely scrap vehicles that aren't damaged, after all! Don't let it put you off getting a quote, even if your car has been completely written off or failed its latest MOT miserably. Get a quote in seconds and cash in on your old banger.

Salvage your car

If your car is in slightly better condition, you can sell it as salvage instead. This means it'll be used for its parts - dismantled so that they can be taken out for use in other vehicles. Because there's more profit in these cars for our buyers, YOU get a better offer too. Not happy with the scrap price offered? See if you can get a salvage deal!

Sell your van or commercial vehicle

Vans and other commercial vehicles, like buses and trucks, also need scrapping eventually. If yours isn't pulling its wait or its letting your business down, sell it as scrap or salvage and we'll get you a great price for it! We can even scrap entire fleets of commercial vehicles in one go!

How to scrap your car in Eastbourne

1. Get a quote

You can get a price in literally seconds with Scrap Car Comparison, and all you need to do is enter your vehicle reg number and your postcode into our form. Then, we'll present you with real, genuine scrap prices offered for your car. Think you can get more? You might be right! With some more information, we can see if your car is better suited for salvage than scrap. This means it'll be sold for parts, and will get you much higher offers!

2. More info

When asked, you can give us some more information about your vehicle. This will let us build up a better picture of your car and the condition it's in, which itself means we can value it more accurately. We might ask you questions about the engine, gearbox, wheels, etc. but don't worry, we keep it all simple. The few extra minutes it takes can get your car classified as salvage, which means even better offers for you!

3. Collection & payment

Next, you'll be able to choose a date and location for the vehicle to be collected from. Pick to suit yourself - the buyer will accommodate your needs, and can even collect the vehicle from a garage or somewhere similar if your car has broken down and been taken in for (unsuccessful) repairs. When the car has been collected, your payment will be processed. This should land in your bank account the very same day, and you'll be paid exactly what you were expecting.

What are the scrap car prices in Eastbourne?

The price of any scrap vehicle in the UK, including Eastbourne, is determined primarily by the ever-changing value of scrap metal. This is because when you sell a car as scrap, it’s the metal that the vehicle is made from that the buyer really wants. So, generally-speaking, heavier cars are worth more as scrap than smaller ones because the have more metal in them!

Scrap vs salvage differences

Scrap vehicles are simply crushed and their materials are recycled. This is why it’s the weight (of the metal) that is the biggest factor in valuing them.

Salvage cars, however, are broken down more carefully and their parts are removed to be resold. Then, those parts will be put into other cars to repair them. As such, salvage cars hold more value than scrap.

What happens to my car once it's scrapped?

When you scrap your car it’s taken away by the buyer to their Authorised Treatment Facility. An ATF is essentially a scrap yard, but where vehicle disposal is done properly. This means the car will be scrapped to professional standards, and will be recycled in line with government regulations.

Can I sell my car with you if it's damaged or failed an MOT?

Of course! Any vehicle can be sold using our service, even if it’s suffered crash damage, been written off by your insurance company, or failed an MOT test. In fact, it doesn’t even need to run!

Can I sell my specific make/model of car?

Yes! We can get you a price offered by genuine buyers local to you no matter what you drive. Even if it’s a foreign import or heavily customised vehicle, we’ll track down a fair deal. Our team has a multitude of experience, so we can value your car accurately whatever make or model it might be.

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.
