Scrap your car
Scrap your vehicle with us and we’ll have the whole thing done and dusted in just a few days at most! We’ll guarantee you a fair price and collect the car for free. Getting a quote is easy!
Sell a damaged car
Damage is a part of a car’s life as far as we’re concerned. That’s why our buyers don’t care if your car has a few scrapes or has been written off – they’ll still make you an offer!
Salvage your old vehicle
If you don’t think your car is suitable for scrapping just yet, see if it’s better off being salvaged instead. This means that certain parts will be saved from the car, and you’ll be offered more money!
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Cars aren’t all we deal in! We’ll also quote you for a van, bus, truck or other commercial vehicle. The process works in exactly the same way, and we can even scrap entire fleets in one go!
How to scrap your car in Walsall
1. Get A Quote
Simply enter your location and vehicle registration into our generator to receive an instant, free quote for your old car. You can accept the offer right away, or our team will call you to discuss how you can potentially boost the price. Selling your old car has never been easier with Scrap Car Comparison.
2. Give More Details
Providing additional information about your car is crucial. The more details we have, the better price we can offer you. Sometimes, salvage value can be higher than scrap value, so it's important to give us all the necessary information. Our team is here to help you get the best deal in just a few minutes. Before we move on to collection, now is the time to start removing any personal items from your car, including personalised number plates, and start cancelling insurance and direct debits so the final step is as simple as possible.
3. Arrange A Collection
Once your quote is accepted, our collection agents will contact you to arrange a convenient time and location for collection. This service is free of charge. Payment will be made by bank transfer directly into your bank account once the vehicle has been collected. Due to the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, a cash sale is not possible. Rest assured, the price you were quoted is the price you will receive.

What are the scrap car prices in Walsall?
The good news is that your scrap car value is directly linked to the weight of your car. And those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards in Walsall and the wider West Midlands county offer competitive prices for your vehicle. 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. A car with repairable damage, valuable parts or is simply a rarer model will also help boost its salvage value. Find out how to salvage your car.
What will happen to my scrap car?
If your car is scrapped then the vehicle will be recycled following the depollution process. This means all of the components and parts will be stripped and processed at an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), in line with national environmental standards. 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 Walsall area?
Whilst Scrap Car Comparison has been around since 2009, many of our associated scrap & salvage dealers in Walsall 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. Many people scrapping their cars need some advice on the paperwork after the car has been collected, and once your car has been processed a Certificate of Destruction will be produced confirming it’s been scrapped. You can request a copy of this from the scrap buyer you sold this to for your records. For more information on paperwork, including if you don’t have any, we’ve gone into more detail 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 Walsall will easily cover the broader West Midlands area, even up to Solihull and Sutton Coldfield. However, the costs and time associated with going further, and the low margins for scrap yards is 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 in price as well as logistics and speedy collection.
Can I scrap my car in Walsall?
Yes, you can scrap your car anywhere in Walsall and the surrounding West Midlands. Just enter your vehicle’s registration number and your postcode into our quote generator for an instant price, and if you accept the offer we’ll arrange free collection from your address. It’s about as hassle-free as scrapping a car gets.
What documents do I need to scrap my car in Walsall?
The main thing you’ll need is your V5C logbook, along with photo ID and proof of address. These let us confirm you’re the registered keeper and process the car properly. If you’re missing the logbook you can still scrap the car, but there may be a few extra checks first.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C logbook?
Yes, you can still scrap your car without the V5C logbook. You’ll usually just need to provide photo ID and proof of address so ownership can be confirmed. It’s worth telling the DVLA in writing that the car has been scrapped if you no longer have the logbook.
What if my car still has outstanding finance?
If your car is still on finance then it isn’t fully yours to scrap yet, as the finance company keeps a legal interest in it until the agreement is settled. The best thing to do is contact your lender for a settlement figure, or ask them for written permission. Once that’s sorted, we can get you a quote as normal.
We’ve put together a detailed guide on scrapping cars with outstanding finance here.
Can I scrap my car if I've lost the keys?
Yes, missing keys aren’t a problem and won’t stop us collecting your car. Our collection agents can load vehicles without keys, so the quote stays the same. Just let us know when you book so the driver arrives prepared. You can read more about scrapping a car without the keys here.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes, once you tell the DVLA the car has been scrapped, they’ll automatically refund any full months of tax you have left. The refund is sent to the name and address on the V5C, usually by cheque. You don’t need to apply separately, it’s triggered when the DVLA is notified. You’ll also want to make sure you have cancelled any outstanding direct debits or car insurance for the vehicle.
Read our full guide on reclaiming car tax and insurance here.
How do I tell the DVLA I've scrapped my car?
When your car is collected by a licensed scrap yard, you let the DVLA know you’ve sold it for scrap using the yellow section of your V5C. You can do this online or by post. The DVLA will then confirm you’re no longer the registered keeper, and any remaining road tax is refunded automatically. We’ve put together a full guide on this subject, which you can read here.
Can I scrap an EV?
While you can scrap an electric vehicle, it may be best for you to look for a salvage quote. Most EVs will have a high salvage value, in part due to being relatively new on the market, but also because they’re likely to have parts that will hold strong value in the second hand market.
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.
