How to scrap your car in Swaffham

1. Get a quote

Enter your vehicle registration and your postcode into our online quote form to instantly find out the scrap price offered for your car by our buyers. Think your car is worth more? Give us some extra information when prompted and we'll see if your car can be sold as salvage instead - salvage offers are MUCH higher than scrap, so it's well worth letting us know a few more details about the vehicle.

2. More information

We're not going to ask you about anything too complicated. You'll just need to let us know if the vehicle is missing any key parts, like wheels, or if important bits like the engine don't work. With this info, we can evaluate whether your car is suitable for salvage instead of scrap. If it is, we'll show you salvage prices from genuine, local buyers - these will be higher than scrap offers!

3. Collection & payment

Collection is completely free for every customer, so there will be no hidden fees here to worry about. A professional, expert collector will arrive to pick up your vehicle. They'll give it a once-over to confirm the details you gave us are all correct, then load it up for removal. With the car taken off your hands, your payment will be processed and paid directly into your bank account.

What will happen to my scrap car?

Scrap your car with Scrap Car Comparison and it will be taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) to be crushed and recycled professionally and safely.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?

When a car is salvaged, the buyer will break it apart and retrieve any surviving parts from inside that can be resold or reused in other vehicles. Salvage cars are usually worth more than scrap. Scrap vehicles are simply crushed and their materials are then recycled.

Can I sell my specific make or model?

Yes, we can scrap any car that you might wish to sell. It doesn’t matter if it’s a super rare model or a foreign import, our team know how much it’s worth and how to get you the proper value. Over the years, we’ve dealt with all sorts of vehicles here at Scrap Car Comparison, so for instant offers from local, professional buyers, get a free quote right now.

How much is a scrap car worth in Swaffham?

Your scrap vehicle will be priced up based primarily on the current scrap metal cost in the Swaffham area. Scrapping a vehicle essentially amounts to scrapping the metal it’s made from, so the weight of the car plays a big role in determining its value. Heavier vehicles are generally worth more. There are other factors that influence the offers you’ll get though, including age, condition, make, and model.

Can I sell my damaged, broken, written off car?

Yes, your damaged, broken, or failed MOT car can be scrapped. Get an instant quote and arrange collection for your car in Swaffham – even if it’s a non-runner!

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.
