Scrap car services in Lambeth

Here’s everything we can do for you in Lambeth with scrap or salvage cars

Scrap your car

Sell your car as scrap with our fast and simple online service. Whether it's in total disrepair or reached the end of its life with six-figure mileage on the clock, you can get a quote in seconds and scrap your vehicle today.

Sell a damaged car

If your vehicle is damaged, broken down, failed an MOT test, or even been written off, you can STILL sell it! Scrap Car Comparison does exactly that - we compare prices offered for scrap cars and connect you with the highest-paying buyer!

Sell a car as salvage

Car too good for the scrap heap? See if it's eligible for salvage instead! This means it'll be stripped of parts, which gives it a higher value. We'll need a bit more information about its condition, but you'll get more money in return.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Here at Scrap Car Comparison, we can even deal with vans, trucks and other commercial vehicles. The process works the same - get a quote in seconds! We can even scrap entire fleets!

How to scrap a car in Lambeth

1. Get a quote

Simply enter your postcode and vehicle registration number into our online form right here on this page. Submit your details and you'll be given a price for your car in seconds. This is the scrap valuation of your car, but if you give us some extra info when prompted, we'll see if your car is better suited to salvage. Salvage prices can be a LOT higher than scrap!

2. Provide more details

As mentioned above, you may be able to get a better price for your car by giving us a few more details when asked. These details will tell us more about the condition of your car, which allows us to determine if it's suitable for salvage. Salvage cars are used for spares & repairs, so the more you can tell us about the condition of your vehicle, the more accurate the price we find will be.

3. Arrange collection

Once you've accepted the price offered, you'll be able to choose the date & location for collection. You don't need to do anything - the car will be picked up by the buyer using professional equipment and expert training. After the vehicle has been loaded up, the collection will be confirmed and your payment will be processed. It'll be paid directly into your bank account, typically the very same day.

What is the value of scrap cars in Lambeth?

Scrap Car Comparison finds prices that are based on the average value of scrap metal in Lambeth and the UK. This is because the scrap value of a car is mostly influenced by its overall weight. Heavier vehicles are made from more metal. There are other, more complex factors involved, but weight is the big one.

What happens to scrap cars?

When you sell your car as scrap, it will be recycled by one of our licensed end-of-life vehicle professionals. They will dispose of your car safely and legally, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

When a car is salvaged, the buyer will break it apart and retrieve any surviving parts from inside that can be resold or reused in other vehicles. Salvage cars are usually worth more than scrap. Scrap vehicles are simply crushed and their materials are then recycled.

Is any car too damaged to scrap?

Definitely not! Your damaged, broken, or failed MOT car can be scrapped. Get an instant quote and arrange collection for your car in Lambeth – even if it’s a non-runner!

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.
