Sell a car as salvage
Some cars are simply too good to go straight to the scrap pile and if yours still has some reusable parts you could find even better quotes. Selling a car as salvage basically means selling for spares and repairs. Accurately describe your car to our team and we'll see if it could work for you.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Size doesn't matter at Scrap Car Comparison. We'll get you a great price for your car no matter what you're trying to sell. We've helped get offers for vans, trucks and even buses. We can also help you sell a fleet of vehicles if you're modernising your entire garage. Just give us a call and we'll get you sorted just as quick as if you were selling a small hatchback.
How to scrap a car in Hounslow
1. Get a quote
Simply enter your vehicle details into our online form to receive an instant quote. This first offer reflects your car’s scrap value, but if it’s lower than expected, your vehicle may qualify for salvage, potentially earning you a much higher payout! When prompted, provide a few extra details about your car, and we’ll check if it can be sold for salvage, which could significantly increase the amount you receive.
2. Provide more details
Sharing a little extra information about your vehicle can greatly increase its valuation and help you secure better offers from our buyers! The more details you provide, the more accurate and competitive your quote will be. It’s worth spending a few extra minutes telling us the details! We may ask about the condition of key parts like the engine, gearbox, or wheels, but don’t worry; our system is quick, simple, and easy to use!
3. Arrange collection
After accepting an offer, you can arrange your car’s collection at a time and location that suits you. Just pick a spot that’s easy for the recovery truck to access. If your vehicle is at a garage or somewhere other than your driveway, we can still collect it from there as well! Once your car has been picked up, your payment will be processed and sent directly to your bank account, making the entire process quick, simple, and stress-free.

What are the scrap car prices in Hounslow?
The good news is that your scrap car value is directly linked to the weight of your car. And those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards in London 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'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.
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.
Can I scrap a car if it's an MOT failure or insurance write-off?
Of course you can! MOT failures are some of the most common types of vehicles we see as people are unable to make the required repairs to get it back through the test. We can even help you out if your insurers have written off your car – just give us a call to see what we can do for you.
How do I get the best price for my car?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren't destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car's condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that's the price you'll be paid. 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 occasionally result in lower offers, however our team will let you know and share why.
