1. Get a quote

Simply fill out our online quote form with your details, and we’ll quickly provide a fair, precise, and competitive offer for your vehicle. Just enter your postcode and registration number to get started, and you’ll receive an instant quote. If the offer doesn’t meet your expectations, add a few more details when prompted to do so.

Considering salvage instead? We get it! Share some extra information about your vehicle, and we’ll check if it's worth more than scrap. By providing details on key components like the engine, gearbox, wheels, and more, we can better assess your car or van and give you a more precise quote. The more you share, the more accurate the price we can offer. When you’re happy with the offer, just accept it, and we’ll handle the rest.

3. Collection & payment

After you accept the offer and your price is locked in, it’s time to schedule collection. Don’t worry - we’ll come to your preferred location at a time that works for you. Before we take your vehicle away, we’ll perform a quick inspection to verify the details you provided. Once everything is confirmed, your car will be collected, and payment will be transferred straight into your bank account.

What will happen to my scrap car?

Scrap your car with Scrap Car Comparison and it will be taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) to be crushed and recycled professionally and safely.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?

When a car is salvaged, the buyer will break it apart and retrieve any surviving parts from inside that can be resold or reused in other vehicles. Salvage cars are usually worth more than scrap. Scrap vehicles are simply crushed and their materials are then recycled.

Can I sell my specific make or model?

Yes, we can scrap any car that you might wish to sell. It doesn’t matter if it’s a super rare model or a foreign import, our team know how much it’s worth and how to get you the proper value. Over the years, we’ve dealt with all sorts of vehicles here at Scrap Car Comparison, so for instant offers from local, professional buyers, get a free quote right now.

How much is a scrap car worth in Atherstone?

Your scrap vehicle will be priced up based primarily on the current scrap metal cost in the Atherstone area. Scrapping a vehicle essentially amounts to scrapping the metal it’s made from, so the weight of the car plays a big role in determining its value. Heavier vehicles are generally worth more. There are other factors that influence the offers you’ll get though, including age, condition, make, and model.

Can I sell my damaged, broken, written off car?

Yes, your damaged, broken, or failed MOT car can be scrapped. Get an instant quote and arrange collection for your car in Atherstone – even if it’s a non-runner!

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.
