Scrap car services in Oxfordshire

Here’s everything we can do for you in and around Oxfordshire:

Scrap your car

Our core service, you'll never find a simpler car sale. All you need to do is give us your postcode and vehicle registration and we'll do the rest. We'll check your local area to make sure you're getting the best price, and your car could be gone within days.

Sell a car as salvage

Salvaging is an industry term which basically means being sold for spares and repairs. Not all cars are so badly damaged that they need to go straight to the crusher, and if your car has parts that can be extracted to boost the price, we'll do our best for you.

Sell a damaged vehicle

Just because you've got a broken car doesn't mean it's an impossible sell. We have buyers waiting for a car just like yours, so rather than having a broken vehicle looking sad on your driveway, turn it into cash with Scrap Car Comparison.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

We do more than just help scrapping cars. We can get a buyer for anything, no matter what it is you're looking to sell. Vans, trucks, buses - you name it, we'll scrap it! We can even help with fleet disposal, just give us a call to discuss options.

How to scrap a car in Oxfordshire

1. Get a quote

Simply put your vehicle details into our online quote generator. All you need is a postcode and vehicle registration number to get started, and we'll get to work finding a great price for you. You'll see these offers within 30 seconds, and we'll give you a call to discuss your car in more detail.

2. Provide more details

This is key to getting an even better price - when we call make sure you provide as much detail as possible. We'll use this information to determine whether you could get a salvage offer instead of a scrap offer, which usually means a higher price! Make sure you're accurate, as false information will only result in a re-calculation upon collection.

3. Collection & Payment

With an offer accepted, we'll lock it in and put you in touch with one of our trusted collection specialists. They'll come out to you, and following a brief inspection to ensure the car is as described, will load your car up onto the trailer. The moment it's taken away the money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

What are scrap car prices in Oxfordshire?

Every single scrap car price presented from our generator is calculated by the current average in your area, as well as the national rate for scrap metal. Heavier vehicles will often get larger quotes, this is because they will have more scrap metal in them to be sold. We don’t just check Rochester prices, but the rest of Kent and wider to ensure you only get the very best offers.

Can you scrap my specific make or model of car?

Any car can be scrapped. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got an incredibly rare car or one of the most common family cars on the market, any car make and model can be scrapped. Still not convinced? Speak to one of our team who will be able to guide you through every step of the way.

What happens to scrap cars?

If your car is scrapped then the vehicle will be recycled. This means all of the components and parts will be stripped and processed in line with national environmental standards. Nearly all of the materials will be used to build new cars in what is considered a circular automotive economy.

Can you scrap an MOT failure or insurance write-off?

Of course it can! These are some of the most common vehicles we see. No level of damage is too much for us, even if your insurers have written it off. Don’t worry about an MOT, either – we’ll get you a buyer with or without a valid MOT certificate.

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.
