How to scrap your car in Surrey

1. Get a quote

Simply enter your vehicle's reg number and your postcode into our online form right here on this page, and we'll present you with a quote for your car in a matter of seconds! If you think your car is worth more than what you're offered initially, you can give us some more information about the vehicle. It can take a few extra minutes, but more details will allow us to see if your car is salvageable. If it is, our buyers are ready to pay YOU much more for it!

2. More information

When prompted, you can give us some more details about the vehicle you're selling and we can use that information to get an accurate picture of your car. The more info we have, the better idea we have of what condition your car is in. This helps us value it as salvage, instead of scrap. Selling your car as salvage will get you better offers because there's more value in the vehicle than simply in the scrap metal it's made from.

3. Collection & payment

When you're happy with the price offered, you can accept and your price becomes guaranteed. This guarantee means that, once the car has been checked over and confirm to be as you described it, the price you accepted cannot be changed. You're given the chance to pick a collection slot, which is when the buyer will come to pick up the car and take it away to their Authorised Treatment Facility to be scrapped/salvaged. With collection confirmed, your payment will be processed and should arrive in your bank account the very same day.

What is the value of scrap cars in Surrey?

The price of a scrap car in Surrey – and around the UK in general – is influenced by a number of factors, but the big one is its weight. This is because when you sell your car as scrap, you’re essentially selling a massive lump of scrap metal. Simply put, heavier vehicles are made from more metal, so there’s more value in them for the buyer!

Other factors include the make & model, condition of the vehicle, and its age, but these come into play much more when salvaging a car instead.

Scrap vs salvage differences

Scrapping your car involves it being crushed whole and recycled. The materials – mostly metal, but also plastic, rubber, glass, etc. – must be recycled in the UK, as it’s a legal requirement.

Salvaging on the other hand gives your car a second chance (in a sense) by allowing it to be disassembled and its parts to be transplanted into other vehicles.

What happens to scrapped cars?

Cars that are scrapped are crushed and recycled. UK law makes this process mandatory, and Scrap Car Comparison only works with buyers who operate in this way.

Can you scrap my specific make & model of car?

Absolutely! We’ve got years of experience in the vehicle disposal game, and we’ve scrapped all kinds of cars in that time! As such, it’s highly likely that we’ve already got your model on our database, no matter how rare or unusual it might be. Foreign imports and old classics are no problem for Scrap Car Comparison! Get a quote today and even if your car really is new to us, we’ll still get you a great price for it!

Can you buy my car if it's damaged, written off, or doesn't run?

Of course! We take all vehicles, regardless of the level of damage they’ve suffered. If you’ve written your car off, or it’s failed an MOT and you can’t afford to replace the broken parts, or it’s simply worn out to the point that you can’t afford to maintain it anymore, then Scrap Car Comparison is the place to be.

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.
