Scrap car services in Erith

Here’s a look at everything we can do for you and your old car in Erith

Scrap your car

The core service we provide, all you need is a postcode and a registration number to get a price. We’ll find the best price in your area and have your car removed as fast as possible.

Sell a car as salvage

Sometimes a car might be simply "too good" to end up straight on the scrap pile. If this is the case with yours, then we can get you a potentially better price by selling as salvage. This will see your car broken down and sold for parts.

Don't let a few damages be what stops you selling your car. Don't panic about dealing with hagglers and time wasters - our service removes any threat of those! We'll get you a great price in moments and a sale guaranteed every time.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Larger vehicles like vans, trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles can be sold with Scrap Car Comparison too. Sell through us for the best price - you can even scrap a whole fleet of commercial vehicles!

How to scrap a car in Erith

1. Get a quote

Use the form at the top of this page to see your base scrap offers. These prices will be based on the weight of your car and the current rate for scrap metal. Our team will then give you a call to discuss your car in greater detail to see if we can boost any of those prices.

2. Provide more details

When we call, make sure you honestly and accurately describe the condition of your car. Not only will this make your offer more accurate, but it also eliminates the chance of any re-valuations upon pickup. An honest and accurate description means we can lock your price in down to the penny.

3. Arrange collection

With your offer now accepted and price locked in, one of our trusted collection agents will be in touch to sort a mutually convenient time to come and get your car. Following a quick inspection to ensure the car is as described, it will be removed and the money transferred that day directly into your bank account.

Can I still scrap my car if it's old or rare?

Absolutely! We don’t care how popular or rare a car is. A car is a car to us and we’ll get a price no matter what it is. We’ve scrapped everything from family hatchbacks to exotic supercars. Still think your car is too rare for us? Give us a call and we’ll get you a price!

What are the scrap car prices in Erith?

All of our scrap car prices nationwide are calculated using the national going rate for scrap metal. We’ll work out an offer based on the weight of the vehicle you’re selling. These prices align with the national average for scrap metal in the UK. We’ll even check locally to see if your car could be sold as salvage to potentially boost your offers.

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.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

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 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.
