Sell your damaged car

Handling damaged vehicles is a routine part of our work in the scrap and salvage industry. Our buyers regularly deal with cars that have been written off, crashed, failed their MOT, or suffered serious mechanical faults. Local buyers in your area are always ready to offer competitive prices for your vehicle, and our experienced team knows exactly how to determine its true value, no matter the condition.

Salvage your car

Selling your car for salvage is a great alternative if you do not want it to be completely scrapped. While scrapping involves crushing and recycling the entire vehicle, salvaging gives your car, or its parts, a second life. It will be carefully taken apart, and any components that are still in good working condition will be removed and reused in other vehicles.

Scrap a van or commercial vehicle

Vans and other commercial vehicles, such as trucks and buses, also come to the end of their working life eventually. In many cases, larger vehicles like these have an even higher scrap value, so don’t wait to get a quote for your old, damaged, or worn out work vehicle, or even an entire fleet, and discover how much it could be worth today.

How to scrap your car in Newcastle-under-Lyme

1. Get a quote

Getting an initial price for your scrap car is fast and simple with Scrap Car Comparison. Just enter your vehicle’s registration number and postcode, and we’ll show you what local scrap dealers are willing to pay. You’ll receive an instant quote with no waiting around, and if you’re happy with the offer, you can accept it straight away. Think your car might be worth more? When prompted, provide a few extra details about your vehicle, and we’ll check whether it qualifies to be sold as salvage instead.

2. Give us more info

Want to find out if your car qualifies for salvage? Our team will ask a few extra questions about its condition, usually focusing on key components like the engine, gearbox, wheels, and other essential parts. By answering honestly, you’ll receive the most accurate and guaranteed price once you accept. Taking just a few extra minutes to share these details could earn you a much higher quote, making it well worth your time.

3. Collection & payment

Once you’ve accepted an offer, you can schedule your vehicle collection at a time that works best for you. This part of the service is completely free and just as straightforward. The buyer will get in touch to confirm the time and location, and if your car is somewhere other than your home, such as a garage or storage site, that’s no problem at all. After the driver confirms the collection, your payment will be processed. Please note that cash payments are not allowed under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, so the money will be safely transferred directly into your bank account.

What is the scrap car price in Newcastle-under-Lyme?

Newcastle’s scrap vehicles are priced up using the same method used all across the UK. The biggest factor that influences your quote is the weight of your vehicle. Heavy vehicles are generally worth more than lighter ones, and this is simply because they’re made from more recoverable metal. The UK average value of scrap metal, which changes constantly, is used to work out what your car is worth as scrap. This value has less impact when salvaging a car, as other factors play a more significant role.

What happens to my scrapped car?

When your car is sold as scrap, it will be taken away to a scrap yard (or an Authorised Treatment Facility, as they’re more formally known) and it will be crushed. The materials from your vehicle are then separated and recycled.

Scrap vs salvage differences

When a car is scrapped, it’s crushed and its materials are recycled. The metal, glass, plastics, rubbers, etc. that it’s made up of will be returned to their most basic form, so that they can be made into other things.

When a car is salvaged, it’ll be disassembled (either partly or entirely) and its parts will be taken out. These parts will then be used to restore other vehicles. It’s not unheard of for salvage cars to actually be repaired themselves and put back on the road, but this is usually only undertaken by people who really know their way around a car.

Can you buy my specific make or model?

Yes! Our team has the experience required to find a top price for any vehicle at all, even if it’s something that’s not yet in our database (but, with so many years in business, it probably will be!)

Whatever you drive, whether it’s a heavily customised motor or a foreign import, we can find you a great offer for it from a buyer in your local Lichfield area. Get a quote now – the valuation might surprise you!

Can I sell my car even if it's damaged, written off, or failed an MOT?

Yes, you can sell your car with Scrap Car Comparison in any condition. It doesn’t even need to run! Crash damaged cars, insurance write offs, MOT test failures… they’re all good for our buyers, who want to purchase your car today! Get a quote now and see just how much value your car has retained despite whatever damage it’s suffered.

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.
