How to scrap your car in Trowbridge

1. Get a quote

Getting a Scrap Car Comparison quote is simple! Just enter your vehicle's registration plate number, along with your postcode, into our quote form on this page! You'll get a price for your car or van in seconds. This price will be what your vehicle is worth as scrap, so if you think it's a little less than you'd hoped, give us a few extra details when prompted and we'll see if your car is suited to salvage. Salvage cars are worth a lot more, so those 'few extra details' could earn you MORE than a few extra pounds.

2. More information

The extra details you give us will allow us to get a clearer picture of you vehicle's condition - we need to know if important parts like the engine, gearbox, wheels, and more are salvagable. Don't worry, we've kept the process very simple, and you don't need to be a mechanic to figure out what we're asking for. Remember, salvage vehicles sell for a LOT more so it will be worth taking a minute or two longer!

3. Collection & payment

After accepting an offer, the price is then guaranteed. You'll be paid every penny of it, with no renegotiating or hidden fees. Don't forget, ollection is completely FREE! No matter where you are in the country, we'll collect your car and take it away so that you don't need to stress over logistics!

What are the scrap prices around Trowbridge?

Scrap cars in Trowbridge 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 Trowbridge, 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.
