Scrap car services in Boston

Here’s a quick look at the core services we are able to provide owners of broken cars in and around Boston

Scrap your car

Our core service, sell a broken old car faster than you'd ever imagine by selling as scrap. Simply get a quote and we'll find your instant prices. Thanks to our nationwide network of buyers, your car could be sold in as little as three days.

Sell a salvage vehicle

Sell your car for parts and make even more money! Salvaging means your vehicle won't be crushed - instead, it'll be dismantled and sold (or reused) piece by piece. Each bit holds its own value, which is why salvaging gets your more cash than scrapping a car whole.

Sell a damaged car

Selling a car that's suffered any kind of damage can be difficult if you choose to do so privately - that's why Scrap Car Comparison has figured out a simple process to make it so easy! Our buyers expect to see all kinds of damage on the vehicles they purchase, so they'll offer your a top price no matter what!

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

There's no size limit here at Scrap Car Comparison and we've helped sell or scrap everything from vans to buses, lorries to trucks and everything in between. Even if you need to dispose of a fleet of images, we're here to help. Just give our team a call to see what we can do for you.

How to scrap a car in Boston

1. Get a quote

Simply enter your details - vehicle reg & postcode - into our online form and we'll present you with a valuation for your car in seconds. The figure you see is actually a real offer from a genuine buyer who wants to purchase your vehicle as scrap. Think your car is worth a bit more? With a few more details, we can price up your vehicle as salvage and get you an even better offer!

2. Provide more details

If you're happy to take a couple more minutes to let use know some more about your car, it could net you several hundred pound more! Salvage vehicles are worth a LOT more than scrap cars, but we'll need to ask you a few more questions about the car's condition. This is simply so we can figure out what parts of your car can actually be salvaged! If your car's engine, catalytic converter, gearbox, or other high-value components are still in good nick, it's well worth your time!

3. Arrange collection

With the details gathered and an offer accepted, it's time for you to pick a collection time. You can choose a day and location that suits you; we can even collect from a garage or some other location if your car isn't at home! A collector will arrange to pick up your car and take it the scrap or salvage yard and, after giving it a quick look over to ensure all the details given were accurate, you payment will be processed. Most customers receive their money the very same day!

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Scrap vehicles are sent to the scrapyard in their entirety, while salvage vehicles can be stripped of any reusable parts first. These reusable parts can then be used to fix other broken vehicles, or sold on as spare parts. Either way, these parts add extra value to your car which is why salvage vehicles often secure higher offers.

Are there any vehicles you can't scrap?

Scrap Car Comparison buys all vehicles, regardless of make or model. We’ve got an experienced team and an extensive database of vehicles already on our system, so there’s a good chance we’ve scrapped or salvaged a motor just like yours already! So, if you drive a foreign import or a one-off special edition, you can get a quote with us and use our service today.

What are scrap car prices like in Boston?

Every single quote we provide is directly linked to the weight of your car. All of those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK, but we’ll also check our network of approved scrap yards in West Sussex and the wider local areas to offer competitive prices for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we’ll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars will be recycled. This is a legal requirement and will follow specific environmental regulations. Every scrap yard we work with is an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), so you can be safe in the knowledge that your car will be recycled in line with all rules and regulations.

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.
