What happens to scrap vehicles?

Your car will be taken to a specialist Authorised Treatment Facility where it will be recycled in line with all government legislation. Cars are turned back into their original materials, which will then be used again in the manufacture of new vehicles.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Car salvaging sees cars fixed or stripped for parts instead of going straight to the scrap pile. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need you give us an accurate description of the car’s condition to get these quotes.

What are the scrap car prices in Manchester?

Every scrap car price we generate is based on the weight of your car and the current rate for scrap vehicles nationwide. We’ll also check local trends as well as taking into account the condition of your car if it could be sold as a salvage vehicle.

Can you scrap any make or model of car?

Absolutely! We will scrap any vehicle of any make or model! Our team is experienced at scrapping all types of vehicles, including rarer models and niche commercial types. It doesn’t matter if your car is a one-off import or an everyday runabout, you’ll get the best price for it from Scrap Car Comparison. Have faith in our team to provide a quick and easy service regardless of the type of car your drive.

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.
