How to scrap your car in Norfolk
1. Get a quote
Pop in your vehicle registration and postcode, and we will generate a quote in seconds. It really is that quick to see how much your car is worth as scrap. If the price seems lower than expected, you will have the chance to share a few extra details about the vehicle. With that information, we can check whether your car is better suited for salvage instead. If it qualifies, it could be sold for parts rather than crushed for scrap, which often means a higher payout for you.
2. More information
If you want to sell your car as salvage instead of scrap, we’ll need a few more details. When prompted, you can answer some quick questions about its condition. These will tell us more about the state of key components like the engine, gearbox, clutch, and other valuable parts. Providing honest and accurate information helps us build a clear picture of your car and ensures the price you’re offered is fair and reliable. Once you’re happy with the valuation and accept the offer, that price is guaranteed - no last-minute changes, surprise fees or hidden costs.
3. Collection & payment
Once you have accepted an offer, whether for scrap or salvage, you can choose a collection time and location that suits you best. Simply pick a day and place that works for your schedule. Can't be there on a certain day to hand over the keys and V5C logbook? No problem. We can collect from anywhere, whether it's your driveway or work car park. Need the vehicle collected from a garage because it's broken down? That's fine too, as long as the collection truck can access it easily. Make sure you tell us if you're down a farm track or on private land, as this may change what vehicle the collector needs to send. After the vehicle has been collected, we'll help with the paperwork and your payment will be transferred directly to your bank account. In most cases, the money arrives on the very same day, making the whole experience smooth and straightforward. Cash payments are not offered as these were made illegal under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

Pop in your registration and postcode and we’ll find you the best price from our network of buyers. Collection is free wherever you are in the county.
What are scrap cars worth in Norfolk?
The value of a scrap car is linked directly to the weight of the vehicle, and a few other factors. The price for scrap metal fluctuates regularly, therefore, every vehicle will have a different value.
Why is it like this? Well, scrap buyers are essentially buying your vehicle for its scrap metal. Heavier vehicles have more metal in them. So, a Transit van is likely to be worth more than a MINI. However, other factors like the age, condition, and specific make & model of the vehicle also play a role in pricing it up – especially if you’re looking to sell it as salvage instead!
Can I sell my specific make/model of car?
Yes. 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.
What happens to my car after I scrap it?
When you sell your car as scrap, it is taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), usually one here in Norfolk, where it is crushed and its materials are separated out in a process called depollution. These materials are then recycled, as required by UK law, and you’ll be issued with a Certificate of Destruction confirming the car has been scrapped legally.
What's the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Scrapping involves crushing the vehicle completely so that it can be completely recycled. This process is relatively straightforward.
Salvaging is a bit more complex for the buyer, as they need to break the car down carefully to retrieve the parts inside. These parts can then be reused or resold.
Can I still sell my car if it's heavily damaged?
Absolutely! Any amount of damage can be dealt with by Scrap Car Comparison. Even if your car is a write off or has been sat in your garage for years awaiting repairs. Get a quote today and see what that old banger is worth in seconds!
Can I scrap my car without the V5C logbook?
Yes, a missing V5C won’t stop you scrapping your car. Let us know when you accept your quote so the buyer knows what to expect on the day, and they’ll confirm what proof of ownership they need instead. You can also order a replacement V5C from the DVLA before you sell if you would rather have it in hand. You’ll always need photo ID when the car is collected.
What if I don't have the keys?
Not a problem, we buy plenty of cars with no keys. Just flag it when you get your quote so the collection team can turn up with the right kit to load it. It may shift the price a little, but it won’t stop the sale.
What if my car still has finance on it?
You’ll need to settle the finance first. A car on an active agreement still belongs to the finance company, so it can’t legally be sold or scrapped until the agreement is paid off. Ring your provider for a settlement figure, and once that’s cleared you’re free to get a quote from us.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes. Once the car has been collected and scrapped, the Authorised Treatment Facility notifies the DVLA, and any full months of tax still left on it are refunded automatically. The refund goes to the registered keeper by cheque, so it’s worth checking the DVLA has your current address before you sell.
Do I have to be there for the collection?
You do not need to be present if you are unavailable, and can nominate someone to represent you if necessary. The person representing you must be over the age of 18 with ID and proof of address.
Can I scrap a relative’s car?
If you need to scrap the car of an elderly relative or are looking after the estate of someone who’s recently died, you’ll need to be able to prove that you have the permission to do this on their behalf. Make sure you let our team know from the initial call that this is the situation you’re in.
Can I keep my personalised number plate?
Yes you can, however you must make sure you follow the relevant processes first, otherwise it could be lost forever. You’ll need to transfer it to another vehicle or put it on retention to avoid it being lost when your car is put through the crusher.
Can I scrap a SORN car?
Absolutely! In fact, scrapping a SORN car is often easier as you don’t need to worry about cancelling any tax or insurance once it’s gone. There is no need to retax your car before collection if it’s currently SORN – just let our team know so the collector can make the relevant preparations before they get there.
What do I need to do before the collection?
Make sure you have removed all personal items from the car that could be easily forgotten – such as dashcams, parking permits or satnavs – and don’t be tempted to remove any parts. Your car will be checked when it arrives and removing parts will likely result in the price being renegotiated upon collection.
How do I get the best price for my car in Norfolk?
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.
