Sell a car as salvage

How to scrap your car in Worthing
1. Get a quote
Use our instant quote generator to see your initial scrap prices based on the weight of your vehicle. These are just an initial valuation, which you can choose to accept, but we'll call you to discuss your car in greater detail and see if we can boost those offers for you.
2. Provide more details
When we call, make sure you provide an accurate description of your car as this will allow us to reassess the offers and see if we could boost it, or even find a salvage quote instead. We'll guarantee your quotes at this stage, but remember the price is only guaranteed if your answers were honest and accurate.
3. Collection & Payment
With a price agreed and locked in, we'll put you in touch with one of our trusted collection specialists who will arrange to come and pick up your car at a convenient time for you. This service is free, and following a brief inspection to ensure the car is as you described, it will be loaded and taken away. At this point the money will be transferred directly into your bank account. Cash payments are not allowed due to the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

What are the scrap car prices in Worthing?
All of the scrap car prices generated by our online form are based on the current rate for scrap metal and any local averages. This will be calculated by the weight of your vehicle – after all, a scrap car is effectively just one large lump of scrap metal. If your car has some extra value in potential spare parts, our team will see if you could calculate a salvage offer.
Is my car too rare to be scrapped?
We can scrap every car you can think of, no matter what make or model it might be. From rare foreign imports to the most basic of everyday vehicles, we’ve seen it all and scrapped it all.
What happens to scrap cars?
Government regulations dictate that at least 95% of the mass of scrap vehicles must be recycled, and once yours has been, the DVLA is notified and you’re issued a Certificate of Destruction as proof. The vast majority of the car will return to its original material, at which point it will be reused in the manufacturing process all over again.
What's the difference between a scrap or salvage car?
Scrap vehicles are simply that, destined to end up on the scrap pile. Salvage vehicles are instead broken down for their parts first. Your offers are likely to be higher for a salvage car purely because there’s a greater potential return on investment for your spare parts.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
You’ll mainly need your V5C logbook to prove you own the car, though if you don’t have it we can normally still go ahead. It also helps to have your MOT certificate and service history to hand, but these aren’t essential. Just have your registration and postcode ready when you get your online quote.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C logbook?
Yes, you can usually scrap your car without a V5C logbook, though it may take a little longer to arrange. Our team will ask for some extra details to confirm you’re the registered keeper before collection goes ahead. It’s still best to let the DVLA know you no longer own the car once it’s been scrapped.
What if my car has outstanding finance on it?
If there’s still finance owing on your car, you’ll need to clear it or get permission from the finance company before you can sell it for scrap. Contact your finance provider to check your settlement figure and let them know you’re planning to scrap the vehicle. We’re happy to talk you through the process if you’re not sure where to start.
What if I don't have keys for my car?
You can still scrap a car with no keys, so don’t let that put you off getting a quote. Just mention it when you speak to our team, as it may affect how the vehicle is collected. Our collection partners are used to arranging pickups for cars that can’t be driven or unlocked.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes, you’ll get a refund for any full months of remaining road tax once you tell the DVLA your car has been scrapped. The refund is worked out automatically and sent to whoever’s name is on the vehicle log book. It’s paid separately from the price you get for the car itself.
How do I tell the DVLA I've scrapped my car?
You can tell the DVLA online as soon as your car has been collected, using the yellow section of your V5C logbook or your vehicle registration number. This lets the DVLA know you’re no longer responsible for the car and helps trigger any road tax refund you’re owed. We’ll also give you the details you need to make this quick and easy.
Do I get a Certificate of Destruction when I scrap my car?
Yes, you’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction once your car has been scrapped, confirming it’s been recycled legally and is no longer your responsibility. This is issued by the Authorised Treatment Facility that processes the vehicle. Keep hold of it as proof the car has been dealt with properly.
How do I get the best price for my car in Worthing?
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.
