Scrap car services in Wimbledon
Everything we can do for you and your old cars in Wimbledon
Scrap your car
Our core service and the easiest sale you'll ever come across. Get a price in seconds and we'll find a buyer looking for a car just like yours! Better yet, we'll come and get it for free too!
Sell a car as salvage
Sell your you as salvage and you could get even more money for it than if you were to sell it as scrap. 'Salvaging' means the car will be used for spare parts, rather than crushed, which is why it holds more value than your average scrap vehicle. Get a salvage quote for your old motor today.
Sell a damaged car
Has your car suffered years of wear and tear damage? Perhaps it's even been written off after a collision? Don't worry! You can still get a quote from Scrap Car Comparison. In fact, damaged cars are kind of our speciality! We'll find a great price for your vehicle no matter what condition it's in.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Need to scrap something a bit bigger than a car? We can absolutely help with that, too! Whatever you're looking to sell, we can get you a buyer in an instant, no matter what it is or how big it might be. Trucks, buses, coaches - you name it, we've scrapped it! We can even help dispose of an old fleet of vehicles too!

What are the scrap car prices in Wimbledon?
Every time we quote a scrap car price, it will have gone through our online system. This will take the weight of your car and the going rate for scrap metal to ensure you’re getting an accurate offer. We’ll then run those prices alongside other quotes across Greater London. This will ensure you’re getting only the very best offers in Wimbledon.
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 I still scrap an MOT failure or insurance write-off?
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.
Are there any cars that can't be scrapped?
Nope! You can sell any vehicle with Scrap Car Comparison, even if it’s a foreign import, has been heavily customised, or is generally just a bit rare! Our team have years of experience so there’s a good chance we’ve dealt with the same or similar kind of car in the past. But, even if we haven’t, we’ll still be able to use our vast network of buyers to track down the best price going for your unusual vehicle.
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.
