How much are scrap cars worth in Minehead?

The price of any given scrap car can change from one day to the next, and no two are priced the same. This is because the up-to-date value of scrap metal in the UK and your local Addlestone area is a major factor in pricing up your scrap car. For this reason, heavier cars are also more valuable to scrap buyers, simply because they’re made from more metal.

Are any cars too rare to scrap?

We can scrap any make or model of car. Rare vehicles, foreign imports, even one-of-a-kind custom builds can be sold using the Scrap Car Comparison service. Our team have plenty of experience and training, enabling them to find the best price for even the most unusual cars!

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Car salvaging is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t dismantled and recycled, but instead fixed or stripped for parts. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need to know more about the car’s condition.

Can I scrap an insurance write-off?

There is no such thing as too damaged for our service! Your damaged, broken, failed MOT car can be scrapped in Minehead 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!

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.
