What happens to my car after I scrap it?

When you sell your car as scrap, it’s recycled by one of the Authorised Treatment Facilities (that’s the technical name for scrap yards that recycle vehicles) in line with government legislation. This is done for every vehicle – it’s a legal requirement.

How is salvaging different from scrapping?

Salvaging a vehicle involves dismantling it and retrieving the reusable parts, which are sold on as spares. This is why salvaging gets you more money than scrapping. When scrapping a car, it’s simply crushed and recycled, with the raw materials (mostly metal) being worth the most money.

How much do scrap cars sell for in Dorking?

Scrap Car Comparison’s prices are determined based on the value of scrap metal in Dorking and around the UK. This means that heavy vehicles, which are made from more metal, are usually worth more. However, other factors will be taken into account too, like the make, model, age, and condition of the vehicle.

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.
