Scrap your car

Our core service, scrapping a car couldn't be easier than when using Scrap Car Comparison. Simply put your details into our quote generator and you could accept a price by the end of the day. Get started now to see what you could get.

Sell a car as salvage

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 vehicle

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.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

We don't just facilitate the sale of cars. Got a truck, van or something even bigger? We can help sort that for you with ease. Looking to dispose of more than one at a time? Talk to our team about fleet disposal and they'll be more than happy to help.

What are scrap car prices like in Stamford?

Each car is worth a different amount of money as scrap, and the actual value of scrap cars changes regularly, whether you’re in Stamford or elsewhere. It’s the scrap metal in your car that mostly impacts its scrap value, which means the weight of the car is very important. Our team knows the ins & outs of scrap car valuations, so they’ll be able to get you the best deal possible at all times.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Car salvaging is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t dismantled and recycled, but instead fixed or stripped for parts. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need to know more about the car’s condition.

Can a car be too damaged to scrap?

There is no such thing as too damaged for our service! Your damaged, broken, failed MOT car can be scrapped within a matter of moments wherever you are. 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.
