How to scrap your car in Wiltshire

1. Get a quote

It couldn't be easier to get a quote from Scrap Car Comparison! All we need is 30 seconds of your time and a few very simple details. Enter you reg number and your postcode and we'll show you real prices offered by professional buyers in your local area. This is the scrap value of your vehicle, so if you want to see if your car is better suited as salvage, let us know a little more information about your car (when prompted) and we'll show you salvage prices instead.

2. More information

To get a salvage price for your car, we'll need a few extra details about the vehicle. Don't worry, it's nothing too complicated - we just need to know if it's got all its wheels, or the engine still runs, that kind of thing. With this information, we can price up your car as salvage. The salvage price is usually MUCH higher than the scrap value of any vehicle, so it's well worth the extra few minutes it might take to get a better offer.

When you accept an offer from Scrap Car Comparison, that price is guaranteed. That means that as long as the vehicle is as you've described it at the point of collection, the fee you're expecting is precisely what you'll be paid.

What are the scrap prices around Wiltshire?

Scrap cars in Wiltshire are priced up based on the value of scrap metal. The overall value of scrap metal changes regularly, but we keep our finger on the pulse so that we know how much you should be getting for your vehicle. Generally speaking, heavier cars are worth more than lighter ones. This is simply because heavier vehicles are made from more metal.

Scrap vs salvage - what's the difference?

Salvage cars are broken down and taken apart, with their parts being resold or reused in other vehicles. Some salvage vehicles are actually restored themselves, too, at the expense of the buyer.

Scrap cars are disposed of entirely. These vehicles will be crushed whole and their materials will be recycled.

What happens to my car after it's scrapped?

If you scrap your car with us in Wiltshire, it’ll be disposed of by one of the Authorised Treatment Facilities on our network. These facilities get rid of old cars the ‘proper’ way; that means it’s crushed and recycled in line with all government regulations. The process is done professionally and safely.

Can I sell my damaged car even if it's written off or failed an MOT?

Absolutely! We’ll take any and all cars here at Scrap Car Comparison, so don’t be afraid to get a quote even if your car has seen far better days! Write offs, non-runners, MOT failures, and whatever else you can think of are all scrapable with Scrap Car Comparison!

Can I sell my specific model of car with Scrap Car Comparison?

Scrap Car Comparison buys all vehicles, regardless of make or model. We’ve got an experienced team and an extensive database of vehicles already on our system, so there’s a good chance we’ve scrapped or salvaged a motor just like yours already! So, if you drive a foreign import or a one-off special edition, you can get a quote with us and use our service today.

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.
