How to scrap your car in Swansea

Enter your car’s details into our online quote form to get a fast, fair price. We’ll call you to confirm the information and explain the next steps, so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Arrange collection
Once you accept your quote, you can choose a free collection at a time that suits you.

There are no hidden fees or unexpected delays - just a quick, easy process.
3. Payment time
Your payment will be processed as soon as the vehicle has been collected. Cash payments are not allowed in the scrap vehicle industry since the introduction of the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, so your money will be sent directly into your bank account. You can also ask your buyer for a Certificate of Destruction once your car has been recycled, which is your proof it has been scrapped properly.

Can I scrap my car in Swansea?
Yes. We cover every Swansea postcode, so wherever your car is sitting in the city, we can find you a buyer and arrange free collection. It does not need to be running, taxed or insured. Just enter your reg and postcode to see what it is worth.
What are the prices of scrap vehicles in Swansea?
Scrap car prices in Swansea depend on your car’s weight and the current scrap metal rates. We compare offers from trusted local buyers to get you the best price. Our team handles all paperwork and guides you through every step, making the process simple and legal.
What’s the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Scrapping means your car goes straight to the scrapyard to be crushed and recycled. Salvaging is different – your car is taken apart first, and any working parts are reused. Salvage offers are often higher, as there’s more value in the parts.
What happens to my car when it's sold as scrap?
Your car is depolluted and recycled safely at an Authorised Treatment Facility, following UK rules. We collect it quickly and for free, and our team pays you the agreed price on the same day. This helps protect the environment and gives you cash towards your next vehicle.
Can I scrap my specific make/model with you?
Yes, we can scrap your specific make and model. Our network covers all car types, from everyday run-arounds to rare models. Just enter your details online for an instant quote. Get started now for a fast, stress-free service.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
You will need your V5C logbook, photo ID and proof of your address on the day of collection. The driver fills in the relevant section of the V5C with you and hands your part back. If anything is missing, tell us when you accept your quote and we will let you know what else is needed.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C?
Yes, in most cases. Flag it when you accept your quote so the buyer knows before they arrive. You will usually need photo ID, proof of address and something showing the car is yours, such as an old MOT certificate or service history. You should also write to the DVLA to tell them the car has been scrapped.
What if I have no keys?
That is fine, we buy cars with no keys every day. Let us know when you accept your quote so the buyer brings the right kit to load it. The only thing that matters is that the collection vehicle can reach your car and move it safely.
Do I get a road tax refund, and how do I tell the DVLA?
Yes. The DVLA automatically refunds any full months of tax left once you tell them the car has gone. You can do that online using the reference number from your V5C, and the refund cheque is posted to the address on the logbook. Any direct debit is cancelled at the same time.
Please remember that you will need to cancel your car insurance separately.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance on it?
Not until the finance is settled, or unless the finance company gives you written permission. The lender still has a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends. If you are not sure where you stand, call your finance provider first and get the balance confirmed, then come back for a quote.
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.
