What happens to my scrapped car?
When you scrap your car with Scrap Car Comparison, it’s taken away to a fully-licenced Authorised Treatment Facility (that’s a fancy name for a scrap yard that disposes of cars the correct way) and it’ll be crushed. The different bits & pieces, like metal, plastic, glass & rubber, will all be sorted out and recycled.
My car is broken down and failed its MOT - can I still sell it?
Yes! Your non-running, written off, MOT-failure vehicle can still be sold with Scrap Car Comparison, no matter how damaged it may be! Reigate’s scrap & salvage buyers are at your service!

Scrap Car Comparison’s service is tailored to each UK motorist so when it’s time to sell, you know where we are!
Salvage vs scrap
Salvage vehicles are typically worth more because they are cars that can be broken down, with the individual parts being sold on separately. These parts hold a lot of value. Scrap vehicles are simply sold whole – the buyer is interested in the scrap metal it’s built from.
How much is a scrap car worth in Reigate?
Scrap vehicle prices are determined by the cost of scrap metal at the time of the quote. For this reason, it’s impossible to say exactly how much any vehicle is worth as scrap, because its valuation will change constantly – sometimes even daily! The weight of your car is the biggest influence on its value, since heavier cars are made from more metal.
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.
