Sell your car as salvage

How to scrap a car in Southwick

1. Get a quote

First of all, enter your details into our online form on this page. You'll get presented with a price for your car instantly. This is the scrap valuation for your car, so if it's a little bit lower than you were hoping for, don't panic - your car might be better suited for salvage instead! When prompted, give us a few extra details about the vehicle and we'll price it up for salvage instead.

2. Provide more details

When asked, you can give us more information about your car to see if it's better suited to salvage than scrap. Salvage cars are taken apart and their components are reused or resold, so these vehicles typically hold much more value than scrap cars. Once you're satisfied with the offer, you can accept the price and guarantee it. A guaranteed price won't change.

3. Arrange collection

Finally, you'll be asked to choose a time & place for the collection of your car. You can pick something that suits your own schedule. Car stuck at the garage? No worries! Our buyers can collect from most places, as long as its accessible for their truck. Once the collection has been completed, your payment will be processed. All payments are made via bank transfer.

Can you scrap any car?

Of course we can! We can scrap anything and everything. Whether it’s an incredibly rare import or one of the most common hatchbacks seen on the road, you know you’ll get a great price and unbeatable service with Scrap Car Comparison.

What are the scrap car prices in Southwick?

All of the scrap car prices we provide you are calculated based on the weight of your car compared to the current rate for scrap metal. These base prices will be shown to you, but we’ll also get in touch to discuss your car in greater detail to see if we could perhaps boost these offers. Where possible, we’ll try to find a salvage offer as these usually provide greater figures than scrap ones.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

When a car is scrapped, it’s crushed and its materials are recycled. The metal, glass, plastics, rubbers, etc. that it’s made up of will be returned to their most basic form, so that they can be made into other things.

When a car is salvaged, it’ll be disassembled (either partly or entirely) and its parts will be taken out. These parts will then be used to restore other vehicles. It’s not unheard of for salvage cars to actually be repaired themselves and put back on the road, but this is usually only undertaken by people who really know their way around a car.

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.
