Scrap your car
Get a scrap price for your car in moments with just a postcode and vehicle registration number. We guarantee a fast sale and free collection thanks to our national network of specialists, allowing you to enjoy the easiest vehicle sale you've ever seen.
Sell a car for salvage
Some cars are simply "too good" to go straight to the scrap yard. We'll still get you an offer in this case, and it could be even more than the scrap price! We work with specialist buyers who'll break down your car for spares and repairs. We call this selling as salvage. Just speak to our team to see if your car could qualify.
Sell a damaged car
Broken, damaged, written off, or an MOT failure - whatever the case, you can sell your car with Scrap Car Comparison. Our buyers know how to find worth in every car in any condition, so you'll get a top deal no matter what. We guarantee a sale instantly, much faster than if you tried to sell privately!
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
Got a van, bus, truck, or other commercial vehicle that's reached the end of its life? Perhaps you need to get rid of an entire fleet of work motors? Look no further than Scrap Car Comparison!
How to scrap your car in Redditch
1. Get a quote
Simply put your postcode and your car's number plate details into our online form to see your instant scrap quotes. The valuation you see is what a professional scrap dealer in your area is willing to pay for your vehicle. We'll give you a call to discuss your car in greater detail to see if it's eligible for salvage instead.
2. Accept your offer
Once you're happy with the amount being offered, you can accept the deal and lock in the price. This means the amount you see is guaranteed - as long as the vehicle is as you've described upon collection, you'll be paid exactly that much to the last penny. We'll help you know what paperwork is needed to get in line, and we also recommend taking the time now to ensure all personal items are removed from the car.
3. Collection and payment
Arranging collection is easy. You'll be put in touch with the collector directly, and you'll be able to choose a date & location that works for you. Following a brief inspection to ensure the car is as you described, the car will be removed and your payment will be processed and paid directly into your bank account that same day. Cash payment cannot be offered in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

Can I scrap my car in Redditch?
Yes. We arrange free collection right across Redditch and the surrounding villages. Put your registration and postcode into the box at the top of the page and we’ll show you the best prices from our buyers nearby. Once you accept, we’ll put you in touch with the collector to book a date.
What are the scrap car prices in Redditch?
The scrap car prices we find for drivers in Redditch are based on the current cost of scrap metal in the local area, and the UK on the whole. Metal prices fluctuate constantly, but we’re always keeping track. The biggest factor in valuing your car as scrap is its weight – this is because heavy cars are made up of more metal, and that metal is what our buyers want!
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
You’ll normally need the V5C logbook, photo ID and proof of your address. The collector checks these when they arrive, so have them ready. If something is missing, tell our team when you give your car’s details and they’ll talk you through what else will do.
What happens to scrap cars?
When you sell your car as scrap, it’ll be crushed and recycled. Legally, professional scrap vehicle specialists must recycle almost every bit of your car to adhere to environmental regulations. When it comes to scrap vehicles, we only work with Authorised Treatment Facilities, the yards licensed to follow these rules.
If requested, you’ll get a Certificate of Destruction once it has been scrapped, so the car is no longer your responsibility.
Can you scrap MOT failures?
Of course you can! You don’t need an MOT to scrap a car, so it has absolutely no impact on your ability to sell as scrap. We regularly help MOT failures find buyers. We also see insurance write-offs and cars with varying levels of damage every single day. Nothing is too bad for us, just give us a call!
Can I scrap my car without a V5C?
Yes, in most cases. As long as you can show you’re the registered keeper, the sale can still go ahead. You’ll need photo ID and proof of address instead, and it can take a little longer. Let our team know when they call so it can be sorted before collection day.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
Scrap vehicles are sent to the scrapyard in their entirety, while salvage vehicles can be stripped of any reusable parts first. These reusable parts can then be used to fix other broken vehicles, or sold on as spare parts. Either way, these parts add extra value to your car which is why salvage vehicles often secure higher offers.
What if my car still has finance on it?
You’ll need to settle the finance, or get written permission from the finance company, before the car can be scrapped. The lender has a legal interest in the vehicle until the agreement ends. Contact them for a settlement figure first, then come back to us for your quote.
Do I get a road tax refund?
Yes. Once the DVLA is told the car has been scrapped, any full months of tax left on it are refunded automatically. The cheque goes to the name and address on the V5C. You’ll also want to cancel your direct debit if you pay monthly.
You should also remember to cancel your car insurance once the car has gone. While tax is automatically cancelled, your insurance isn’t and you could find yourself spending money that you don’t need to.
Do I have to be there for the collection?
You do not need to be present if you are unavailable, and can nominate someone to represent you if necessary. The person representing you must be over the age of 18 with ID and proof of address. This is also the case if you are scrapping a car on behalf of someone else, such as an elderly relative or after a bereavement – although you must make this clear whilst getting a quote in this situation.
Can I keep my personalised number plate?
Yes you can, however you must make sure you follow the relevant processes first, otherwise it could be lost forever. You’ll need to transfer it to another vehicle or put it on retention to avoid it being lost when your car is put through the crusher.
Do I have to SORN the car first?
No. We can come and collect the car as it is without the need to SORN it. We can also easily come and remove a car that’s already registered as SORN. Just let our team know so the collector can make the relevant preparations before they get there.
How do I get the best price for my car in Redditch?
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.
