How much are scrap cars selling for in Mitcham?
Scrap Car Comparison’s prices in Mitcham are dictated by the ever-changing cost of scrap metal. Prices are determined primarily (but not entirely) by the weight of your vehicle, reflecting the national average for scrap metal in the UK. If your car is salvage, the value of the components in your car that can be taken out count for a lot! The same applies if you’re scrapping a van.
How is salvaging different from scrapping?
When a car is salvaged, it is dismantled and has its usable parts removed. These are then sold on for other repairs. Selling as salvage usually fetches a better price than scrapping, as scrap cars are simply crushed and recycled – they’re only worth the value of their raw materials (mostly metal).
What happens to my car?
Your scrap car will be responsibly recycled by Authorised Treatment Facilities (the fancy name for licenced scrapyards) and scrap metal dealers in Mitcham. Salvaged parts are reused in newer vehicles, helping to keep the industry sustainable.
Can you scrap my exact make/model?
We can scrap any car, no matter how rare or obscure. Our specialist team of experts ensures you get the best price for your non-standard vehicle. From commonly seen cars to one-off specials and foreign imports, Scrap Car Comparison is here to help. If your car’s details are hard to find, don’t worry – we’ll still get you a price quickly and efficiently.
My car is heavily damaged - will you take it?

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.
