How to scrap a car in Beckenham

1. Get a quote

Use our online quote generator to get an initial price for your car. This will be calculated by taking the weight of your car and comparing it to the current going rate for scrap metal across the country. We'll then give you a call to discuss your car in greater detail and get a more accurate quote.

2. Provide more details

Our chat with you is your chance to tell us everything you can about your car. The more detailed your description is, the more accurate our quote will be. Once you've accepted an offer from one of our specialist buyers we'll lock that price in for you. It's worth noting these descriptions must be honest, as although the price is guaranteed, it remains subject to inspection upon collection.

3. Arrange collection

We'll then put you in touch with one of our trusted collection agents, who will come out to you, wherever you are. Once they've inspected the car and are happy it's as described, the car will be removed and the money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

What happens to scrap cars?

As is government regulation, all scrap cars will be recycled. Once sent for scrap, cars are returned to their raw materials. These materials are then regularly used again in the automotive manufacturing. Effectively, this means that by scrapping your old car you’re helping to build new ones.

How much is a scrap car worth in Beckenham?

The price of any scrap car is determined by the current cost of scrap metal in the local area. It does, however, also take into account the weight of your vehicle. This is due to metal making up most of your car. We align our prices to meet or exceed the averages in London so you’re sure to get a good deal. Got a car that’s fit for salvage instead? Even better! Plus, the same processes are used to price up vans and commercial vehicles. This is how Scrap Car Comparison gets every customer a great deal.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Salvage vehicles are stripped of any usable parts before being sent to the scrapyard, unlike their scrap counterparts. This means you could get even more money thanks to the extra potential from the sale of those spare parts.

What cars can be scrapped?

We’ve scrapped every car make and model going, so there’s nothing we can’t scrap! No matter what you’re looking to scrap, we can get you a great price. From small hatchbacks to the largest of SUVs, just give our team a call today to find out just how much your old car could be worth.

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.
