Scrap car services in Wells
Here’s a quick rundown of everything we can do for you in Wells and the rest of Somerset.
Scrap your car
Our basic core service, every quote we initially provide will be your best scrap offer based on the weight of your car and the current rates for scrap metal. Thanks to our in-house experts and extensive network of collectors, we can get a scrap sale completed in as little as 72 hours!
Sell your car as salvage
Some cars are simply too good to go straight to the scrap pile as they are, and if yours fits this brief then we'll do what we can to extract every penny possible. This will be achieved by selling as salvage, otherwise known as 'spares and repairs', which means the buyer will strip it of its reusable parts to be sold on elsewhere, usually meaning more value and more money for you!
Sell a damaged vehicle
Don't let some damage leave you feeling helpless, and don't waste your time trying to find a buyer on your driveway or online auction sites. Just describe the condition of your car to our team and we'll get you an instant price. No haggling, no time wasters. We have buyers looking for cars just like yours so you know it will be sold in an instant, however badly damaged it is.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Size doesn't matter at Scrap Car Comparison! Whether you need to scrap a van, a truck, a bus or anything for that matter, we can get you a great price no matter what. Our service is just as quick and easy whatever the broken vehicle is. Get in touch and we'll get you sorted, and we can even help dispose of entire fleets of vehicles if needed.
How to scrap a car in Wells
1. Get a quote
Use our online quote generator with just a postcode and vehicle registration number to see your initial quotes. These will be based on your vehicle's weight in line with the current rate for scrap metal nationwide. You could accept one of these immediately, but either way we'll give you a call to get more information and get a more accurate price for your situation.
2. Provide more details
When we call, you'll be asked to provide as many details as possible on your car's current condition. Be as honest as possible, as your answers will influence the prices we're able to quote you. Any false information will only result in your price being recalculated upon collection. Once you're happy with a price, we'll lock that in (subject to inspection).
3. Arrange collection
With a price now accepted we'll put you in touch with one of our trusted collection specialists, who will arrange to come and collect your car at a convenient time for you. Once the car has been loaded up, following an inspection to ensure it is as you described, your price will be transferred directly into your bank account.

What are scrap car prices in Wells?
All of our scrap car prices are calculated by the weight of your car and the current going rate for scrap metal. We’ll check scrap yards in and around Somerset to ensure you’re getting the best price possible.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
A salvage vehicle is one that is to be broken down into parts rather than just sent for scrap. These parts will then be used to help repair other broken down vehicles. As a result, the value of a salvage car is often higher than you’d get for a standard scrap vehicle.
What happens to scrap cars?
Every scrap car must be recycled in line with government regulations. Once broken down into its raw materials, almost all of these will be reused to help build brand new vehicles. This effectively means by scrapping your old car, you’re helping to build new ones.
Are there any makes or models of cars that can't be scrapped?
No matter what car make and model you’re looking to scrap, we can get you a great price. From Fords to Ferraris, we’ve seen it all. If you think your car is too good or rare to scrap, then we have a team of experts on hand to prove you wrong!
How do I get the best price for my car?
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.
