Services available in Rochester
We don’t just scrap cars, we do much more than that. Here’s a look at the services we provide in Rochester, the rest of Kent and the entire UK.
Scrap your car
Our core service, you'll never find a simpler car sale. All you need to do is give us your postcode and vehicle registration and we'll do the rest. We'll check your local area to make sure you're getting the best price, and your car could be gone within days.
Sell your damaged car
Selling a broken vehicle is never easy - unless you're using Scrap Car Comparison! We don't care what's wrong with it, we'll find you a buyer in an instant. We have specialists looking for broken cars every day, so we can be sure that you'll get a great price and a quick sale.
Salvage your old vehicle
You might think that your car is too good to scrap - and if this is the case, we'll help you to get a great price anyway. For a car to be sold as salvage, it will be broken down into its usable parts, which can also be sold on. For this reason, you might find a salvage offer is even more than you're offered for scrap.
Sell your van or commercial vehicle
Need to get rid of something on the large side? We can still get you a great sale for your van, truck, bus or anything. Our service is just as simple with a larger commercial vehicle as it is with a simple family car. Just call our team and we'll guide you through it all.

How much will I get for scrap cars in Rochester?
Every single scrap car price presented from our generator is calculated by the current average in your area, as well as the national rate for scrap metal. Heavier vehicles will often get larger quotes, this is because they will have more scrap metal in them to be sold. We don’t just check Rochester prices, but the rest of Kent and wider to ensure you only get the very best offers.
Can you scrap MOT failures or cars with damage?
Of course you can! No level of damage is too much to send your car to the scrap pile. Cars without a current MOT or deemed insurance write offs are some of the most common reasons we help customers send their car for scrap. Our team guarantees you the best price, and we’ll come and get it absolutely free of charge.
Can my car be scrapped?
All cars are able to be scrapped, no matter what it is you have. Whether you’ve got an exotic supercar, historic marvel or just a plain old hatchback, we’ll get you a great price. Our team have seen pretty much every car make and model on the market.
What happens when my car is scrapped?
All cars must be recycled in line with government regulations, and as we only deal with certified Authorised Treatment Facilities, you can be sure that your car will follow these rules to the letter. Most of your old car will be recycled back to its original materials, which often end up going back into the automotive manufacturing sector – meaning your old car will actually help a new one to be built.
What is salvaging as opposed to scrapping?
While scrap cars are broken down straight away, a salvage car will be broken into its usable parts first. This means that you have the potential sale of spare parts as well as the car itself. You can also use those spares to get other cars back on the road, boosting your potential income even more.
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.
