Scrap car services in Hoddesdon
Here’s a brief rundown of what we can do for you:
Scrap your car
Our quickest and easiest service. Your car will be priced accordingly based on the price of scrap metal. We’ll arrange a collection and your car will be sold in days.
Sell a car as salvage
Some cars could be worth more by breaking them down first and selling them on for parts. We work with specialists who will be able to let you know whether your car could be worth more as salvage.
Sell a damaged car
Whether it’s a few dents or written off, at Scrap Car Comparison, it makes no difference to us. We’ll price up your vehicle and get it sold it no matter its condition. Be it crash damage, severe mechanical breakdowns, or just general wear & tear, we have a buyer within our network for every situation.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
We know how important vehicles can be to your daily life, so don’t let a broken van ruin your business. Our process is just as quick for commercial vehicles as it is for private cars. Just pick up the phone and let us get you back on track.
How to scrap your car in Hoddesdon
1. Get a quote
Pop your details into our online quote generator to see just how much you could get for a scrap vehicle - all we need is a postcode and vehicle registration to get started. We'll show you your best offers and then get in touch to provide a more detailed and personalised offer.
2. Provide more details
When we call, be as honest as possible about the condition of your car as we may be able to reclassify it as salvage. Accuracy is key as this will ensure there are no issues upon collection if the car doesn't match its description.
3. Collection and payment
With an offer accepted, we'll put you in touch with one of our trusted collection specalists. Following a brief inspection, your car will be loaded up onto the trailer and your money will be paid straight into your bank account.

What are scrap car prices in Hoddesdon?
We use national averages and the going rate for scrap metal to get you the most accurate scrap car prices on offer. We’ll scour your local area to get you the very best price. These prices will be based on the current value of scrap metal and the weight of your car. In effect, you’re selling a large lump on scrap metal on wheels.
Can you scrap my specific make or model of car?
Absolutely! There’s nothing we can’t scrap, so even if you’ve got one of the most obscure cars going or a car you might find 15 of in a supermarket car park, we can get you a great price every time.
How is salvaging different to scrapping?
Unlike a scrap car, which is sent straight to the scrap pile and crushed, a salvage car will be broken down and see its reusable components used again. These spares will either be used to repair a new vehicle or sold on as spare parts. Either way, they can add some significant value to your offer.
How do I get the best price for my car?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren't destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car's condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that's the price you'll be paid. 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 occasionally result in lower offers, however our team will let you know and share why.
