Sell a car for salvage
Did you know you could actually make more money from your car by selling as salvage rather than scrap? If your car is sutiable, it will be broken down and sold on as spare parts instead of just crashed, earning you more as a result. Speak to our team to see if your car could be suitable.

Struggling to sell a broken car privately? We'll get you a buyer in moments with a guaranteed price, no matter what's wrong with it. Just give us a call to describe your car and we'll do the rest. Our sales team are experts and we have many specialist buyers waiting for your car!
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
We don’t just deal in cars, either. Vans, buses, trucks and other commercial vehicles also need scrapping eventually! We can handle them, too. Get a quote for a van, or even an entire fleet of commercial vehicle, and earn some cash today!

1. Get a quote
Use our easy quote generator to get instant prices. All you need is a postcode and registration number to see your initial scrap prices. Our team will then call to discuss your vehicle further and see if we can boost any of those offers for you.
2. Describe your vehicle
Use our call as your opportunity to get a better price. Be honest and accurate, and if your car is suitable we'll try to get a salvage offer for you. Salvage offers regularly offer more than basic scrap prices, and once accepted your price will be guaranteed.

What are scrap prices in Coalville?
All of the scrap car prices generated through our system will be calculated in line with national averages and the weight of your car. We take the weight and compare it to the current price of scrap metal to generate your offers. We’ll also check the local Leicestershire area to ensure you’re only getting the best quotes possible.
What happens to scrap cars?
All scrap cars are recycled in line with government regulations. Almost all of the materials from your car will be returned to its original form, allowing it to be used again in the manufacturing process. These materials are often used to help build brand new cars.
Is my car too damaged for scrap?
There is no such thing as too damaged for our service! Your damaged, broken, failed MOT car can be scrapped in Coalville within a matter of moments. Get an instant quote and arrange a collection with Scrap Car Comparison. Even if your vehicle is non-running or stuck in a garage, we’ll come and get it!
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.
