What are the scrap car prices in Wandsworth?

All of our scrap car prices nationwide are calculated using the national going rate for scrap metal. We’ll work out an offer based on the weight of the vehicle you’re selling. These prices align with the national average for scrap metal in the UK. We’ll even check locally to see if your car could be sold as salvage to potentially boost your offers.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Yes, although the process won’t be much different for you. Scrap cars are sent straight to the scrap pile, whilst salvage cars will be broken down into reusable parts first. Because of these potential extra spares, you might find you’re offered even more for your car.

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars are put through a strict recycling process in line with government legislation. The vast majority of old cars will be returned to their original materials and used again in the manufacturing process. This means your old car can help put brand new ones back on the road!

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.
