Scrap car services in Wellington
Here’s everything we can do for you and your old car in Wellington.
Scrap your car
Our core service, we'll get you a price for your car in moments when you use our instant online valuation service. With buyers on hand for cars just like yours, we can get a scrap vehicle sold and finalised in as little as 72 hours!
Sell a car as salvage
Some scrap cars still have usable parts on them, and if yours is one of these you could get even more money out of it than if you just sold as scrap. By selling as salvage you'll be selling to someone prepared to do the work to get those extra parts out.
Sell a damaged car
Selling a damaged car doesn't need to be a stressful experience. Don't waste time dealing with time wasters and hagglers from your driveway. Give us a call and we'll link you to one of the buyers we have waiting for cars just like yours!
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Nothing's too big for us here at Scrap Car Comparison! Our service is just as fast no matter what it is you're trying to scrap. From vans to buses and everything in between, we'll get your old workhorse sold in an instant. We can even help you with a fleet disposal if necessary.
How to scrap a car in Wellington.
1. Get a quote
Use our online generator to see what prices your car is worth as scrap within a minute. These offers will be calculated based on the weight of your vehicle in line with the going rate for scrap metal at that moment. While you could choose to accept this price, we'll call you to discuss any further options available to you.
2. Describe your car
Our call is your opportunity to get an even better price. Be honest and accurate and we'll recalculate your offer and see if you could sell as salvage rather than scrap. We'll always make sure we get you the most on the table.
3. Collection and payment
Once you've accepted a price we'll put you in touch with one of our collection specialists. The collection agent will give the car a quick inspection to ensure it is as described, and once its removed the money will be transferred directly into your account.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
Scrap cars will go straight to the scrap yard to be recycled. Car salvaging, however, is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t immediately dismantled and recycled, but either stripped for parts or even fixed itself. 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.
What are scrap car prices in Wellington?
Every price generated will be in line with national rates for scrap metal and the weight of the car itself. We’ll then take into account the condition of your particular car. For that reason we can’t give a catch-all estimate, and the best thing to do is get a quote and speak to our team!
What happens to scrap cars?
All scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental regulations laid out by the government. Almost all of your car will eventually be returned back to its original materials. These materials will then be used once again in the manufacturing process, often for new cars. In effect, by scrapping an old car you’re helping breathe life into a brand new one.
Can you scrap my specific make and model of car?
Absolutely! We’ll scrap anything and everything! From the most common of cars you’ll see in an average supermarket car park to the rarest of the rare, we’ve scrapped it all and can definitely get you a great price!
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.
