Salvage your car

Selling your car for salvage is an excellent alternative to scrapping it. Salvaging - essentially selling your vehicle for parts - means it will be carefully dismantled so that any reusable components can be removed or resold. Because of this, salvage vehicles often have a much higher value than standard scrap cars. We’ll just need a few extra details about your vehicle to see if it qualifies for salvage, but if it does, the offers you receive could be considerably higher!

Scrap a van or commercial vehicle

When your business vehicle has reached the end of its working life, selling it is simple with Scrap Car Comparison. Whether it’s a van, truck, or bus that’s no longer up to the job, it might be time for an upgrade. You can scrap your commercial vehicle (or even a whole fleet) through our service just as easily as you would a standard car, with the same quick, reliable process from start to finish.

How to scrap your car in Stroud

1. Get a quote

Simply enter your vehicle details into our online form (or give us a quick call), and we’ll generate an instant quote for you. This initial offer is based on your car’s scrap value but if it’s lower than you hoped, your vehicle might qualify as salvage, which could mean a much higher return! When prompted, just provide a few extra details about your car, and we’ll determine whether it can be sold for salvage - potentially earning you significantly more than the standard scrap price!

2. More info

Adding a bit extra information about your vehicle can make a big difference to the valuation you receive and help attract better offers from our buyers! The more details you provide, the more accurate and competitive your quote will be. So, it’s well worth taking a few extra minutes to give us some more details. We might ask about the condition of key parts like the engine, gearbox, or wheels, but don’t worry; our system is quick, easy, and designed for everyone. You don’t need to be a mechanic to get it!

3. Collection & payment

Once you’ve accepted an offer, you can arrange collection for a time and place that works best for you. Just choose a convenient location that the recovery truck can access. If your car is at a garage or somewhere other than your home, that’s absolutely fine; we can collect it from there too! After the pickup is complete, your payment will be processed and sent directly to your bank account, keeping the entire process smooth, fast, and completely hassle-free.

Car scrap value in Stroud

Scrap cars in Stroud 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 crash-damaged write off?

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!

Scrap vs 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.

My car is rare or unique - can I scrap it?

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 car when it's scrapped?

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.
