What we can do for you and your old, unwanted cars in St Albans

Scrap your car

The quickest and simplest sale you’ll ever see. We're proud that we can get your sale completed within 72 hours! All we need is a postcode and registration number

Salvage your old vehicle

Some cars are "too good to scrap", but that doesn't mean we can't help you. Sell your car for spares and repairs - we'll find a buyer prepared to strip yours down. The added value of the spare parts means that these offers are usually bigger than scrap ones.

Sell a damaged car

Selling cars with damage is not an easy task, and we're well aware of that. If you know that trying to sell yours is going to be a nightmare, then turn it into a dream and use our service. We'll get you a buyer instantly and have the car sold for the very best price much faster than any private sale.

Scrap a van or commercial vehicle

We don't just scrap cars, we also help get great prices for larger vehicles. Vans, trucks, buses - you name it, we've scrapped it! If your business is looking at a total refresh, we can help with fleet disposal too! Just give us a call to get started.


Scrap Car Comparison Mascot How to scrap your car in St Albans

1. Get a quote

Put your postcode and vehicle registration into our quote generator to find your prices instantly. These will be scrap prices based on the weight of your car and the current rate for scrap metal nationwide. We'll then get in touch to discuss the finer details and see if there's anything else we can do for you.

2. Provide more details

Our call is your opportunity to get an even better price. We'll ask you some questions about the condition of your car, which will allow us to assess whether or not you could qualify for a salvage offer. Your price is guaranteed, but this will be down to the accuracy of your description - the price is subject to inspection at collection.

3. Arrange collection

With a price now locked in, we'll put you in touch with one of our trusted collection partners who will arrange a time with you to come and remove your car. Once it's gone, you'll be paid - this will be direct into your bank account so it should be with you on that same day.

Scrap Car Comparison Mascot

What are the scrap car prices in St Albans?

All of our scrap car prices are determined by the current going rate for scrap metal nationwide alongside the weight of your vehicle. More metal means more money, which is why the weight is so important. We’ll check your local area to ensure you’re getting the very best prices. If you’re selling as salvage, the condition, age and other factors will have a greater influence on the total figure.

What happens to scrap cars?

Almost all of your car will end up helping to build new cars. This is because the vast majority of a scrap car gets recycled. It will be stripped of its reusable parts and the remainder returned to their raw materials. These spare parts are then often used back at the start of the automotive manufacturing process.

Can you scrap my specific make or model?

Of course we can! We can scrap anything and everything at Scrap Car Comparison. Whatever you’ve got – whether it’s a small hatchback or a giant 4×4, we’ll get you a price. We can even get prices for rare imports or exciting supercars – just give us a call to see what we can get for you!

Can you scrap my MOT failure or insurance write-off?

We see MOT failures and insurance write-offs all the time, so don’t let this stop you. In fact, they’re some of the most common vehicles we see – nothing is too badly damaged for us. Just get a quote and see how much you could get for your old car!

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.
