Scrap your car

Selling a broken down old car might feel like an impossible task, but with Scrap Car Comparison, it’s easy! With just a your vehicle reg & postcode, we’ll get you a quote and find you the top buyers bidding for your car.

Sell a damaged car

Any amount of damage is acceptable to Scrap Car Comparison and our buyers! Even if your car has been completely written off, we’ll quote you a price in line with the market value of scrap metal. Enter your details – the valuation might surprise you!

Salvage your old vehicle

Salvaging is a better choice for those cars that still have a little bit of life left in them, but might be too much hassle – or too expensive – for the average motorist to fix up. Selling as salvage saves your car from the crusher and gets you more money!

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Commercial vehicles, like vans, trucks or even buses, can also be sold with Scrap Car Comparison. When it comes to scrap vehicles, bigger is often better – there’s more metal! See if your commercial vehicle is worth more than you expected – get a quote now!

FAQs

What are the scrap car prices in Chelmsford?

The good news is that scrap car prices are directly linked to the weight of your car. Got something bigger than a car? We can price and scrap your van too. And those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards in Chelmsford and the wider Essex county offer competitive prices for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we’ll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.

How is salvaging different from scrapping?

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. Find out how to salvage your car.

What will happen to my scrap car?

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. Find out more about car recycling.

How long have you been operating in the Chelmsford area?

Whilst Scrap Car Comparison has been around since 2016, many of our associated scrap & salvage dealers in Chelmsford have actually been in operation for far longer. Decades of experience have allowed them to refine their processes to make collection and removal as easy as can be.

Will the scrap yard offer me any support on the paperwork?

Many people scrapping their cars often need some advice on the paperwork after the car has been collected. The scrap yard staff that we work with are always available to answer any questions when they collect the vehicle. We also have a wealth of expert car scrapping guides on our blog here.

Is it better to use a scrap yard which is local to me?

The short answer is yes, because the area an individual yard will cover is governed purely by miles and logistics. For example, a yard in Chelmsford will easily cover the broader Essex area, even up to Braintree and Billericay. However, the costs and time associated with going further, and the low margins for scrap yards is why we will instead put you in touch with a partner that’s even more local to you.

Scrap Car Comparison automatically searches for prices in and around your exact location and our comparison engine finds the best option based on where you are weighing in price as well as logistics and speedy collection.

Hassle free process, brilliant communication & fast collection & payment! I was very impressed, had tried a few local businesses who were rude offered poor money & wanted the car dropped off, this comparison company found me a company to take the car, arranged everything, it was collected & down the the man who loaded it on truck everyone’s been brill, literally 20 minute process & car left today, ten minutes later I was transferred the money!
