Scrap your car
Has your car reached the end of its life? Sell it as scrap with us and we’ll quote you the best prices in an instant, all offered by vehicle buyers based in your local area!
Sell a damaged car
Damage is expected on scrap and salvage cars, which is why we’ll quote you for your vehicle whether it’s a bit dented or totally written off! We'll show you both scrap and salvage offers so you can see which is the right choice for your car.
Salvage your old vehicle
Selling as salvage is often a better option, both for the environment and your bank balance! Any good parts of your car will be reused and sold as spares and repairs rather than recycled, and you’ll often receive a higher offer!
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Vans, buses, trucks and other commercial vehicles can also be sold through us here at Scrap Car Comparison. You can get a quote in just the same way!
How to scrap your car in Halesowen
1. Get Your Quote
Simply enter your location and vehicle registration into our generator to receive an instant, free no-obligation quote for your old car. You can accept the offer right away, or our team will follow up with a call to discuss how you can potentially boost the price. Make sure to have details to hand including its mileage, MOT status, whether you have the keys and whether it starts or is a non-runner.
2. Give More Details
The more details you provide on the call, the more accurate the prices you receive will be, so let us know if you have flat tyres, no keys or even if it's a non-starter. Your price is guaranteed for 24 hours to give you time to consider your options, and once accepted it's locked in down to the penny. Now is time to remove any personal items from your car, as well as getting all your paperwork in order. You should also remove any personalised number plates otherwise they'll be lost forever.
3. Arrange Your Collection
Our collection agents will contact you to arrange a convenient time and location for collection. This service is free of charge. After a brief inspection to ensure your car is as described and to check your photo ID and proof of address, payment will be made directly via bank transfer into your bank account. The money usually clears that day, and cash payment is not available in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

Can I scrap my car in Halesowen?
Yes. The B62 and B63 postcodes are covered in full, along with the surrounding areas. Enter your registration and postcode to see your offers, and we’ll put you in touch with a buyer who will collect for free.
What are the scrap car prices in Halesowen?
The good news is that scrap car prices are directly linked to the weight of your car, and those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Got something bigger than a car? We can price and scrap your van too. Our network of approved scrap yards in Halesowen and the wider West Midlands county offer competitive prices for your vehicle, whatever the make and model. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we’ll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.
How is salvaging different from scrapping?
Car salvaging is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t dismantled and recycled, but instead fixed or stripped for parts. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need to know more about the car’s condition.
What will happen to my scrap car?
If your car is scrapped then the vehicle will be recycled. This means all of the components and parts will be stripped and depolluted, then processed in line with national environmental standards, and, if requested, you’ll be issued with a Certificate of Destruction once that process begins. Nearly all of the materials will be used to build new cars in what is considered a circular automotive economy. Find out more about car recycling.
How long have you been operating in the Halesowen area?
Whilst Scrap Car Comparison has been around since 2009, many of our associated scrap & salvage dealers in Halesowen have actually been in operation for far longer. Decades of experience have allowed them to refine their processes to make collection and removal as easy as can be.
Will the scrap yard offer me any support on the paperwork?
Yes. The scrap yard staff that we work with are always available to answer any questions when they collect the vehicle, including how to hand over your V5C logbook. Many people scrapping their cars need some advice on the paperwork after the car has been collected. We also have a wealth of expert car scrapping guides on our blog here.
Is it better to use a scrap yard which is local to me?
The short answer is yes, because the area an individual yard will cover is governed purely by miles and logistics. For example, a yard in Halesowen will easily cover the broader Midlands area, even up to Solihull and Birmingham. However, the costs and time associated with going further, and the low margins for scrap yards, are why we will instead put you in touch with a partner that’s even more local to you.
Scrap Car Comparison automatically searches for prices in and around your exact location, and our comparison engine finds the best option based on where you are, weighing up price as well as logistics and speedy collection.
Can I scrap my car without the V5C?
Yes, although it is more straightforward if you have it. You will need to prove you are the registered keeper, usually with photo ID and a recent utility bill in your name at the address the car is registered to. Let our team know when you speak to them so the buyer can come prepared.
Can I keep my personal number plate?
Yes, but you need to sort it before the car goes. Apply to take the registration off the vehicle first, and either put it straight onto another car or hold it on a retention certificate. Once the car has been collected and scrapped, the plate cannot be recovered.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes. Once the DVLA has been told the car has been scrapped, any full months of remaining tax are refunded automatically. The refund goes to the name and address on the V5C, so make sure those details are up to date. You don’t need to apply for it separately.
If your car is SORN, then you do not need to worry about the tax at all. Our collection agents can remove the car without it needing to be on the road at all, so you do not need to retax it first.
Do I need to be present at 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. This is also the case if you are scrapping a car on behalf of someone else, such as an elderly relative or after a bereavement – although you must make this clear whilst getting a quote in this situation.
Can I cancel after accepting an offer?
Once you’ve accepted an offer, any cancellation queries will need to be handled with the buyer in question. We can help put you in touch, but we will not be able to answer on their behalf.
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.
