Salvage your car

Selling your car for salvage is an excellent alternative to scrapping it. Salvage vehicles are carefully dismantled so that reusable parts can be recovered and sold on. As a result, salvage cars often hold a much higher value than standard scrap vehicles. We’ll just need a few extra details about your car to see if it qualifies for salvage; if it does, the offers you receive could be considerably higher!

When your company vehicle reaches the end of its working life, selling it is simple with Scrap Car Comparison. Whether it’s a van, truck, or bus that’s past its best, it might be time for an upgrade.

How to scrap your car in Yate

1. Get a quote

Simply enter your vehicle details into our online form to receive an instant quote. This first offer is based on your car’s scrap value, but if it seems lower than expected, your vehicle may qualify for salvage, which could mean a much higher return! When prompted, provide a few additional details about your car, and we’ll check if it’s eligible for salvage, potentially earning you far more than the standard scrap price.

2. More info

Sharing a little more information about your vehicle can greatly increase its valuation and help you receive stronger offers from our buyers! The more details you provide, the more accurate and competitive your quote will be, so it’s worth spending a few extra minutes. We may ask about the condition of important parts such as the engine, gearbox, or wheels, but there’s no need to worry; our system is quick, simple, and easy to use!

3. Collection & Payment

After accepting an offer, you can arrange the collection of your car at a time and place that suits you best. Simply choose a location that’s easy for the recovery truck to access. If your vehicle is at a garage or somewhere other than your home, that’s no issue; we can collect it from there too! Once the pickup is complete, your payment will be processed and sent straight to your bank account, keeping the entire process quick, smooth, and stress-free.

Scrap car value in Yate

Scrap cars in Yate 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 car even if it's written 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.

Can I sell my particular make/model?

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.
