Scrap car services in Somerset
We don’t just get cars scrapped, we do much more in and around Somerset.
Scrap your car
Our most basic service, selling a car for scrap might be the easiest sale you've ever experienced full stop, let alone with cars! Just give us a postcode and vehicle registration and we'll give you your price in an instant. We can often get scrap cars sold in a couple of days!
Sell a damaged car
Selling a damaged car isn't an easy task, but luckily we're here to make it seem like it is. We have a selection of buyers waiting for a car just like yours, and we'll make sure you're linked up to them in an instant! Don't bother with the risks of selling privately, just sell it with us and we'll take all the hassle away.
Sell a car as salvage
Some cars destined for the scrap pile might actually still have some value in them if they can be broken down into spares and repairs. Don't worry, you won't have to dod anything. We'll find a buyer prepared to do all that work for you... and pay for the privilege! Salvage offers will usually be slightly higher than a scrap one.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
We know how important your commercial is to you, and when it goes wrong you'll need it sorted quickly so you can move on to the next one. That's why selling a van, truck, bus or anything is just as quick through our system as it is selling a car. We can even help you sell a fleet of vehicles if you need a complete refresh.
How to scrap a car in Somerset
1. Get a quote
Start by providing your postcode and vehicle registration number through our online quote generator and you'll be shown your initial scrap prices. These will be based on scrap metal prices and the weight of your car. After seeing some base quotes, we'll give you a call to get a better idea on your specific circumstances.
2. Provide more details
When you call we'll ask you to accurately describe your car. Your answers will determine the value of your recalculated offers (and whether or not we can consider a salvage sale), so make sure you're honest. Don't be tempted to exaggerate the condition of your car to get a better price, as this will only result in recalculation upon collection.
3. Collection and payment
With an offer accepted we'll guarantee that price and put you in touch with one of our trusted collection specialists. They'll come out straight to you at a convenient time and take your car away following a brief inspection to ensure it is as you described. Once it's been removed you'll be paid directly into your bank account.

What are the scrap car prices in Somerset?
All scrap car prices we quote are linked to the weight of your car combined with the current rate for scrap metal in the country. We’ll check the local area to make sure you’re getting the best price around you. We’ll also ask about your car’s condition to see if we might be able to get a salvage offer to compare.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
Scrap cars are sent directly to Authorised Treatment Facilities and crushed. Salvage vehicles, on the other hand, will be broken down into any reusable parts first. Sometimes the car itself may actually be repaired and returned to the road, otherwise it will be used as spares and repairs.
My car's an insurance write-off, can it still be scrapped?
There is no such thing as too damaged for our service! Your damaged, broken, failed MOT car can be scrapped in Coalville within a matter of moments. Get an instant quote and arrange a collection with Scrap Car Comparison. Even if your vehicle is non-running or stuck in a garage, we’ll come and get it!
What happens to scrap cars?
All scrap cars are recycled in line with government regulations. Almost all of the materials from your car will be returned to its original form, allowing it to be used again in the manufacturing process. These materials are often used to help build brand new cars.
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.
