Scrap your car
Scrap your car with Scrap Car Comparison and get the best price available in Epsom, hassle-free.
Sell your damaged car
Even damaged or broken down cars, or cars that have failed their MOT, can be scrapped with Scrap Car Comparison. Our buyers are prepared to make you the best offers for your car, whatever its condition. Getting a repair quote from a garage is a great place to start, as we can then help you decide whether it's best to scrap or repair depending on the condition of your car and the quotes we can provide.
Salvage your vehicle
If it's too soon to scrap your car and you think there's life left in it, salvaging could be better. This means selling it for spare parts, and we deal with this too! Selling as salvage requires some extra information about the vehicle, but the offers you'll receive are often better! Over half the cars we saw in Epsom were sold as salvage last year, so an accurate description could get you a better price as a result.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Scrap Car Comparison also handles bigger vehicles, like vans, trucks and even buses. Sell a commercial vehicle - or an entire fleet - with us for the best price available.
How to scrap your car in Epsom
1. Get a quote
Find out how much your old car is worth by entering your postcode and vehicle registration into our online comparison engine. You'll receive your quote instantly and free of charge. You can choose to accept the quote immediately if you're satisfied, or you can see if your valuation can be increased (for example, by classifying your car as salvage) by giving us a little bit more information about the vehicle. If you have a private number plate, remember to remove this first as it cannot be saved once the car has been scrapped.
2. Accept a price
By providing us with more information, we get a more accurate picture of what your car is worth. This means we can get you even better offers! Salvage cars are usually worth more, so if you think there are bits of your vehicle still in good nick, tell us - it could get you even more money! When you’re happy with an offer, just accept it and we’ll take care of the rest. At this point, we recommend clearing the car of all personal belongings, including parking permits and dashcams, and get your keys and logbook together.
3. Arrange collection
After you've accepted a quote, you will be contacted by a collector who will let you choose when they can come and pick up your car. This service is always free and same-day collection is sometimes available. Most scrap sales can be completed in 72 hours from quote to collection. When your collector arrives, they'll check your ID and give the car a visual inspection to ensure it matches your initial description. Once your car is collected and payment is processed, it'll be sent directly into your bank account - every penny of what you were quoted.

What are scrap cars worth in Epsom?
The price of scrap cars in Epsom and around the UK is based on the average costs of scrap metal in the country, so it’s impossible to give a single figure. This is a value that changes all the time! Because cars are mostly made of metal, heavier vehicles are usually worth more, but other factors like age, make & model are also taken into account. All of this applies to every vehicle, be it a car, van or truck.
What happens to my car after scrapping?
Scrap cars in Epsom and elsewhere in the UK will be depolluted and recycled. In the case of salvaging, this can mean its parts being reused in other vehicles to keep the industry sustainable. Whatever the case, Scrap Car Comparison’s buyers dispose of your car responsibly. If your car is scrapped, you’ll get a Certificate of Destruction and the DVLA is told it’s off the road for good, so you’re no longer responsible for it.
What's the difference between scrapping & salvaging?
Salvaging a car involves stripping out any parts that are still usable so that they can be sold on for spares and repairs. This is why they generally fetch a better price than scrap vehicles, which will be crushed and sold for raw materials instead.
Can you scrap my make & model?
Scrap Car Comparison can take any and all vehicles, regardless of make, model, age or condition! Our team specialises in tracking down the best available prices for every vehicle, even if they’re less common than some others on the road – even rare import vehicles can be scrapped with us. We can assist you with the scrapping or salvaging of your car even if you’re unsure on some of its details, ensuring you get the top price that the market can offer quickly and easily.
My car is damaged - can I still use your service?
Yes, your damaged, broken, or failed MOT car can be scrapped in Epsom. Get an instant quote now and arrange collection with Scrap Car Comparison, even if your vehicle no longer runs.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
Ideally, your V5C logbook, plus photo ID and proof of address. Have your keys ready too, along with any locking wheel nut key. If anything’s missing, tell us when you get your quote and we’ll let you know what to do.
Can I scrap without a V5C?
Yes, you can still scrap your car without a V5C. You’ll need to show you own the car, usually with photo ID and proof of address. Just mention it when you get your quote so the buyer knows in advance.
Can I scrap a car not in my name?
If you need to scrap a car that doesn’t belong to you, such as that of an elderly relative or are looking after the estate of someone who’s recently died, you’ll need to be able to prove that you have the permission to do this on their behalf. Make sure you let our team know from the initial call that this is the situation you’re in.
Can I scrap a car that still has finance on it?
Usually not until the finance is paid off, because the car legally belongs to the lender until then. Some lenders will agree to it, so check with yours first. Once it’s settled, you can scrap it as normal.
Can I scrap my car if I’ve lost the keys?
Yes, cars with no keys can still be scrapped. Let us know when you get your quote, as it can affect the offer and how the car is collected.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes, you’ll get a refund for any full months of tax left. The DVLA sends it automatically once they’ve been told the car has been scrapped, so there’s nothing to apply for.
Do I have to be there for the collection?
You do not need to be present if you are unavailable, and can nominate someone to represent you if necessary. The person representing you must be over the age of 18 with ID and proof of address.
What do I do after the collection?
Once your car has been collected remember to cancel any insurance and breakdown cover you have for it. Failing to do so will mean you may be paying for a car you no longer own. You should also keep a look out for your DVLA road tax refund.
My car isn't ULEZ compliant, should I scrap it?
Check your registration on TfL’s vehicle checker first: petrol cars from about 2006 and diesels from about late 2015 usually pass. If yours fails and you drive into Sutton or Kingston two or more days a week, the £12.50 daily charge (around £1,300 a year) will soon cost more than the car is worth, so selling or scrapping makes sense. For occasional trips, just pay the charge.
How do I get the best price for my car in Epsom?
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.
