Scrap car services in Havering

Here’s a quick breakdown (no pun intended) of what we can do for you and an old car in Havering.

Scrap your car

Has your car reached the end of its life? Sell it as scrap with us and we’ll quote you the best prices in an instant, all offered by vehicle buyers based in your local area!

Sell a car as salvage

Has your car suffered a mechanical failure, or been involved in an accident that's done major damage to one particular area of the vehicle? Don't worry!

Plus, salvage offers are typically higher than scrap!

Sell a damaged vehicle

Is your car beyond repair? Or maybe the cost of fixing it just isn’t worth it anymore? Turn your old, battered vehicle into cash with Scrap Car Comparison! No matter the condition, we’ll find a buyer, with free collection included for every single customer!

How to scrap a car in Havering

1. Get a quote

Simply enter your details into our online quote form and we'll find a price for your car that's fair, accurate and competitive. All we require to get the ball rolling is your postcode and the reg number of the vehicle you want to sell, then we'll present you with a price in an instant. Not satisfied with the offer? Give us some extra details when prompted and we'll figure out if your car is actually suitable for salvage instead. Salvage cars are worth more than scrap ones!

2. Provide more details

Hoping to go down the salvage route? We don't blame you! See if your car is too good to be scrapped by giving us a bit more information about the vehicle. This allows us to build up a more accurate picture of the car or van so that we can assess its value more accurately. We'll ask you about the vehicle's condition, and whether it still has certain working parts - engine, gearbox, wheels, etc. The more details you provide, the more accurate our pricing will be! Once you're satisfied, you can accept the offer.

3. Arrange collection

With an offer accepted (and the price guaranteed) it's time to arrange collection. Don't worry, we come to you to pick up the car and take it away, but you can choose the time and place. Can't do Mondays? Not a problem. Car's broken down at the local garage? As long as it's accessible for our transport trucks, that's fine! There will be a quick once-over of the vehicle to ensure all the details we received from you are correct, then it'll be taken away. Payment will be processed and paid directly into your bank account.

What are scrap car prices in Havering?

Your scrap vehicle will be priced up based primarily on the current scrap metal cost in the London Borough of Havering. Scrapping a vehicle essentially amounts to scrapping the metal it’s made from, so the weight of the car plays a big role in determining its value. Heavier vehicles are generally worth more. There are other factors that influence the offers you’ll get though, including age, condition, make, and model.

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.

Can you scrap any type of car?

Yes, we can scrap any car that you might wish to sell. It doesn’t matter if it’s a super rare model or a foreign import, our team know how much it’s worth and how to get you the proper value. Over the years, we’ve dealt with all sorts of vehicles here at Scrap Car Comparison, so for instant offers from local, professional buyers, get a free quote right now.

What happens when a car is scrapped?

If your car is scrapped then the vehicle will be recycled. This means all of the components and parts will be stripped and processed in line with national environmental standards. Nearly all of the materials will be used to build new cars in what is considered a circular automotive economy.

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.
