How to scrap your car in Addlestone

1. Get a quote

Enter your details into our online form (right here on this page) and you'll get a price in seconds. This price will be the scrap value, but if you're happy to give us a couple more details about your car, we can get you a salvage value instead. Salvage cars are used for parts, and they're typically worth a LOT more than scrap vehicles!

2. Give us more info

If you're not happy with the scrap value of your car, or you think it's too good to be crushed, then giving us more details about the condition of your vehicle can get it classified as salvage instead. We might ask you for details about the car's engine or gearbox, amongst other things, but taking a few minutes extra can get you a MUCH better offer for your car.

3. Collection & payment

Once you've accepted an offer, the price is guaranteed; this means it won't be renegotiated. You'll then be able to pick a time & place for your car to be collected. The collection is completely free, just like the rest of the Scrap Car Comparison service. When your car's been collected, your payment will be processed. The money will be paid directly into your bank account, and should arrive in there the very same day.

How much is a scrap car worth in Addlestone?

The price of any given scrap car can change from one day to the next, and no two are priced the same. This is because the up-to-date value of scrap metal in the UK and your local Addlestone area is a major factor in pricing up your scrap car. For this reason, heavier cars are also more valuable to scrap buyers, simply because they’re made from more metal.

What happens to my car after it's scrapped?

Once your vehicle has been sold as scrap, it’ll be taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) where it’ll be crushed. The materials – metal, plastic, rubber, glass, etc. – will be separated and then almost the whole car (at least 95% of its total mass) must, by law, be recycled.

Scrap vs salvage differences

Scrap vehicles are simply crushed, and their materials are recycled. This is the simplest way of disposing of a vehicle, and it’s what happens to cars that are classed as ‘category A’ after a write off.

Salvaging is a bit more complex. You vehicle will be dismantled with more care so that its parts can be retrieved for reuse or resale. When people talk about ‘selling for parts’ or as ‘spares & repairs’ they are referring to salvage cars.

Can I scrap my specific make/model?

Absolutely! Our team has years of experience in this industry, so they can get you a price for whatever kind of vehicle you’re looking to scrap. It doesn’t matter if it’s a one-off model, an old classic, a foreign import, or some other unique motor. Enter your details we’ll tell you exactly how much it’s worth as scrap or salvage in no time.

My car is a damaged non-runner - can I still sell it?

Yes, you can sell your car with Scrap Car Comparison regardless of the vehicle’s condition. If it’s a non-runner, a write off, or an MOT failure, you can still get a quote right now!

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.
