How to scrap your car in Newmarket
1. Get a quote
Simply enter your car’s registration number and postcode to receive an instant quote. This reflects your vehicle’s scrap value, and with free collection included, you’ll keep every penny if you accept. Think it could be worth more? Provide a few extra details about its condition when prompted, and we’ll see if it qualifies as salvage. Salvage vehicles are sold for parts and can often earn you a significantly higher return.
2. More information
Provide a bit more information about your vehicle, and we’ll determine if it can be sold as salvage instead of scrap. You might need to share details about its current condition, including whether it still runs, has wheels, or a working engine. Getting a salvage offer may take a few extra minutes, but the prices are often much higher than what you’d receive for scrap!
3. Collection & payment
When you accept an offer, the price becomes guaranteed. There'll be no last-minute changes, no haggling, and no hidden fees. Pick a convenient time and place for collection, and your vehicle will be removed safely and professionally by trained experts. Once it’s collected, your payment will be processed promptly and sent directly to your bank account.

How much is a scrap car worth in Newmarket?
Your scrap vehicle will be priced up based primarily on the current scrap metal cost in the Newmarket area. Scrapping a vehicle essentially amounts to scrapping the metal it’s made from, so the weight of the car plays a big role in determining its value. Heavier vehicles are generally worth more. There are other factors that influence the offers you’ll get though, including age, condition, make, and model.
Can I sell my specific make or model?
Yes, we can scrap any car that you might wish to sell. It doesn’t matter if it’s a super rare model or a foreign import, our team know how much it’s worth and how to get you the proper value. Over the years, we’ve dealt with all sorts of vehicles here at Scrap Car Comparison, so for instant offers from local, professional buyers, get a free quote right now.
How is salvaging different to scrapping?
When a car is salvaged, the buyer will break it apart and retrieve any surviving parts from inside that can be resold or reused in other vehicles. Salvage cars are usually worth more than scrap. Scrap vehicles are simply crushed and their materials are then recycled.
What will happen to my scrap car?
Scrap your car with Scrap Car Comparison and it will be taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) to be crushed and recycled professionally and safely.
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.
