Salvage your car
Selling your car for salvage is a great alternative to scrapping it. Salvaging means the vehicle will be carefully dismantled so that reusable parts can be removed and resold. Because of this, salvage cars often carry a much higher value than standard scrap vehicles. We’ll just need a few extra details about your car to check if it qualifies for salvage, and if it does, the offers you receive could be significantly higher!
Scrap your van or commercial vehicle
When your company vehicle reaches the end of its working life, selling it is easy with Scrap Car Comparison. Whether it’s a van, truck, or bus that’s no longer performing, it may be time for an upgrade. You can scrap your commercial vehicle through our service just as simply as a regular car, with a smooth, hassle-free process from start to finish.
How to scrap your car in Cirencester
1. Get a quote
Just enter your vehicle details into our online form, and we’ll provide an instant quote. This initial offer is based on your car’s scrap value, but if it’s lower than expected, your vehicle might qualify as salvage, which could result in a much higher payout! When prompted, share a few extra details about your car, and we’ll check if it can be sold for salvage which could earn you significantly more than the standard scrap price.
2. More details
Providing a bit extra information about your vehicle can significantly boost its valuation and help you get better offers from our buyers! The more details you give, the more accurate and competitive your quote will be - so it’s worth taking a few extra minutes. We might ask about the condition of key components like the engine, gearbox, or wheels, but don’t worry! Our system is simple and user-friendly!
3. Collection & payment
Once you’ve accepted an offer, you can schedule your car’s collection at a time and location that’s convenient for you. Just choose a spot that the recovery truck can easily access. If your car is at a garage or somewhere other than your driveway, that’s no problem - we can pick it up from there too! Once the pickup is complete, your payment will be processed and transferred directly to your bank account, making the whole process fast, simple, and hassle-free.

Scrap car value in Cirencester
Scrap cars in Cirencester are valued the same way we value them all over the UK. It’s the metal that’s important, so the weight of your vehicle is a primary factor in determining what it’s worth as scrap. Why is the metal important? Simply put, when it’s crushed the buyer will be left with a large chunk of scrap metal which they’ll then sell. Heavy vehicles are made from more metal. This is why it can be very lucrative to scrap an old van!
Can I scrap my written off, crash-damaged car?
Of course! You can scrap any vehicle, even if it’s suffered any kind of damage! Written off in a crash? Major mechanical failure? Failed its MOT? It doesn’t matter to us, or to our buyers! We’ll get you a price and they’re eager to purchase your vehicle, so get a quote now!
The differences between scrap and salvage
Scrap cars are typically so damaged that there’s nothing left to do with them but crush them and recycle the materials to start again. Category A write offs are the best example of this – they must, by law, be scrapped. Salvage vehicles, however, can be restored and put back on the road. That being said, many times they’re broken apart and have their parts taken out. Those parts will then be reused in other vehicles, and the rest of the vehicle will be scrapped.
Can I sell my particular make & model of vehicle with Scrap Car Comparison?
Yes. You can sell any vehicle with Scrap Car Comparison, even if it’s a foreign import, has been heavily customised, or is generally just a bit rare! Our team have years of experience so there’s a good chance we’ve dealt with the same or similar kind of car in the past. But, even if we haven’t, we’ll still be able to use our vast network of buyers to track down the best price going for your unusual vehicle.
What happens to my scrap car?
By law, all cars that are scrapped must be recycled. At least 95% of the vehicle’s total mass needs to be processed and recycled so that there is minimal wastage in the industry. Scrap Car Comparison ONLY works with scrap & salvage buyers who operate in this way.
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.
