Sell your damaged car
Selling a damaged car privately might be difficult, but selling it as scrap with Scrap Car Comparison couldn't be easier! Our buyers purchase vehicles that have suffered all sorts of damage, including being written off, failing an MOT, and being given a salvage category (A, B, S, N).
Salvage your car
Selling your car as salvage is an excellent way to get some more money out of the sale. See if your car is eligible for salvage instead of scrap with our online service. Salvage vehicles are broken down and sold for parts, as 'spares & repairs'. As such, there's more value in these cars than in scrap vehicles.
Sell your van or commercial vehicle
Got a van, truck, bus, or other work vehicle that needs scrapping? We can deal with that too! You can get a quote for your commercial vehicle in just the same way you would use our service for a regular car. We can even scrap entire fleets of vehicles!
How to scrap your car in Hastings
1. Get a quote
Simply enter your vehicle's registration number & your postcode and we'll find buyers in your local area who're on our network and ready to pay good money for your motor. We can present you with a price in seconds, and you can guarantee that price by accepting right away. Or, if you think your vehicle is worth a bit more, you can give us some extra information about it and we'll see if you it can be sold for parts (as salvage) instead. Salvage offers are usually MUCH better than scrap!
2. Give us more info
With some more information about your car, we'll be able to build up a picture of just how much it's worth as salvage. We'll need to know a little bit more about the condition the car is in, and might ask questions about the engine, gearbox, clutch, etc. but don't worry - we keep everything as simple as possible! It might sound like extra hassle, but the process is actually still very quick to get through. Plus, the added couple of minutes it'll take could net you a significantly higher offer for your vehicle!
3. Collection & payment
Once an offer has been accepted, it's time to arrange collection. You'll now be contacted by the buyer directly and you'll be able to tell them when you want the car picked up, and where from. The vehicle can be collected from other places besides your home, like a garage, and just needs to be accessible for the collector's truck. Similarly, you can choose a day that suits you for the collection to take place. When the car is loaded up, your payment will be processed. It should land in your bank account the same day.

Scrap vs salvage differences
Scrapping is fairly rudimentary; all it really involves is crushing the vehicle at a scrap yard and separating out the materials, which will then be recycled.
Salvaging is done with more care; these cars are dismantled and their parts are saved from the crushers. These parts are then sold on or reused to restore other vehicles.
What happens to my car when it's scrapped?
When you sell your car to be scrapped, it’ll be taken away to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). These facilities are essentially scrapyards than are run with the utmost professionalism and dispose of cars in line with all rules. Scrap Car Comparison works with ATFs, where your car will be crushed and recycled.
Can I sell my damaged, broken, non-runner?
Yes, you can sell your car with us even if it’s a non-runner, has been written off by heavy damage, or has simply failed an MOT test.
What's a scrap car worth in Hastings?
There’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ price for any scrap car, anywhere. That’s because the value of a scrap car is actually based on the value of scrap metal in the local area. This, in turn, means that heavier cars are worth more than lighter vehicles. Why? Because they’re made from more metal! It’s this scrap metal that our buyers are interested in!
Can you scrap my specific car?
Yes. Scrap Car Comparison can scrap any vehicle, regardless of type, make, or model. Whether it’s a foreign import or an ultra-rare motor you’d think we’ve never seen before, we’ll quote you a great price for it. In fact, with so many years in business in the industry, it’s likely that we’ve scrapped your model (or similar) before and have it already in our database!
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.
