How to scrap a car in Shropshire

1. Get a quote

Simply put your postcode and vehicle registration into our quote generator to find your instant scrap quotes. These quotes are calculated using the weight of your vehicle and the current rate for scrap metal nationwide. We'll then get in touch with you to discuss your car in greater detail and see if we can boost your prices.

2. Provide more details.

When we call you should be as accurate and honest as possible. This allows us to accurately price up your car in its exact condition, and also allows us to see if we could possibly reclassify it as a salvage vehicle and get you a little more cash. Once you're happy, we'll lock your offer in.

3. Arrange collection

Once an offer has been accepted, you'll be contacted by the buyer directly. The vehicle can be collected from other places besides your home, like a garage, and just needs to be accessible for the collector's truck. When the car is loaded up, following a quick inspection to ensure it's as you described, your payment will be processed. It should land in your bank account the same day.

What are the scrap prices in Shropshire

The good news is that your scrap car value is directly linked to the weight of your car. And those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards in the county of Shropshire offer competitive prices for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we’ll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.

What happens to scrap cars?

Your car will be taken to an ATF where it will be crushed. Its raw materials will then be recycled. Old vehicles that are crushed often become all sorts of new things; the metal is used in cans, the rubber is used to make soft flooring (like you’d find on children’s play areas) and some of it might even be used to make new parts for new cars!

Can you scrap any type of car?

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 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.
