How is salvaging different from scrapping?
Scrapping means your car goes straight to the crusher, with no parts saved. Salvaging is different—your car is taken apart and any working parts are sold on. Salvage offers are usually higher, as buyers can make more from the parts. This helps you get more money, fast.
What will happen to my scrap car?
Your car is depolluted and recycled in line with UK regulations, helping to create new materials and protect the environment. We collect it quickly and safely from your property, and our team handles all paperwork and pays you on the same day. The Authorised Treatment Facility that recycles it will issue a Certificate of Destruction and let the DVLA know the car has been scrapped

What documents do I need to scrap my car?
Usually just your V5C logbook and some photo ID. Our team will confirm exactly what’s needed when we call to guarantee your price, so there are no surprises on collection day.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C?
Yes, you can still scrap your car if the V5C logbook is lost. You’ll need to show the car is yours, for example with photo ID and proof of address. Just mention it when you get your quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Not until the finance is settled. The car belongs to the finance company until it’s paid off, so contact your lender first to clear the balance or get their permission. Once that’s sorted, you can go ahead with your quote.
Can I scrap my car if I’ve lost the keys?
Yes, you can scrap a car with no keys. Let us know when you get your quote so we can send the right collection vehicle. It may affect the price, but we’ll tell you before you accept.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes, if there are full months left on your tax. Once the DVLA knows the car has been scrapped, it cancels your tax and refunds any full months remaining. You don’t need to apply for it separately. Remember to cancel your insurance once the car has gone, too.
How do I tell the DVLA I’ve scrapped my car?
You can tell the DVLA online using the reference number on your V5C logbook. The Authorised Treatment Facility that takes your car will also let the DVLA know it’s been scrapped.
Will I get a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes. The Authorised Treatment Facility issues a Certificate of Destruction once your car has been scrapped. It shows you’re no longer responsible for the car, so keep it somewhere safe.
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 t
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. This is also the case if you are scrapping a car on behalf of someone else, such as an elderly relative or after a bereavement – although you must make this clear whilst getting a quote in this situation.
Can I scrap an electric or hybrid car?
Yes. Scrap Car Comparison can help you scrap electric vehicles , including fully electric cars, safely and responsibly. When requesting your quote, make sure you provide accurate information about the vehicle’s condition so the collection can be arranged appropriately.
Can I scrap a car on behalf of a relative?
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.
How do I get the best price for my car in Wishaw?
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.
