Sell your damaged car
Any amount of damage is acceptable to Scrap Car Comparison and our buyers! Even if your car has been completely written off, we'll quote you a price in line with the market value of scrap metal. We'll show you both scrap and salvage offers side-by-side so you can decide which option is best for you.
Sell a car as salvage
Some cars are worth much more than their scrap offer. To unlock these prices you’ll need to accurately describe your car so we can see if you could make more by selling as salvage. Let us know of any major damage, your car's mileage, whether it's a non-runner and it's MOT history, and we'll ket you know if it could be worth more as salvage. Either way, we'll show you both scrap and salvage offers side-by-side so you can see what's the best option for your car.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
If you have a van, truck, or other commercial vehicle to scrap, we can help. Our team handles everything, including paperwork and legal requirements. We make the process simple and support you every step of the way.

Can I scrap my car in Dewsbury?
Yes, you can scrap your car in Dewsbury and the surrounding towns and villages – we have 100% coverage across West Yorkshire. We have a number of scrap yards covering your area that are able to offer the most competitive prices, free collection and great customer service.
What are the scrap car prices in Dewsbury?
The good news is that scrap car prices are directly linked to the weight of your car, reflecting the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Got something bigger than a car? We can price and scrap your van too.Our network of approved scrap yards in Dewsbury and the wider West Yorkshire offer competitive prices for your vehicle, and if your car is salvaged rather than scrapped, we’ll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.
Can you scrap my specific make and model?
We scrap all well known car makes and models across the country. That includes the newest electric cars, non-ULEZ compliant diesels and petrols and older classic cars. We can even scrap imports, modified cars and carry out commercial fleet disposal. We use your registration plate to find the specific model and price according to the manufacturer’s weight of the vehicle. On the rare occasion we don’t find your make and model details we’ll escalate your quote to our specialist team to research the vehicle and find you an unbeatable price.
Can my damaged, broken, missing MOT car be scrapped?
Yes, we can scrap just about any car or van in any condition. We might need to adjust the prices we offer if there are parts of your vehicle missing. But if you have a damaged car, a car with no current MOT or even if it’s an insurance write off we can get you a price and arrange a collection.

How is salvaging different from scrapping?
Car salvaging is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t dismantled and recycled, but instead fixed or stripped for parts. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need to know more about the car’s condition. Find out how to salvage your car.
What will happen to my scrap car?
If your car is scrapped then the vehicle will be recycled at a local Yorkshire ATF. This means all of the components and parts will be stripped and processed in line with national environmental standards set by the Environment Agency. Nearly all of the materials will be used to build new cars in what is considered a circular automotive economy. Find out more about car recycling.
What documents do I need to scrap my car?
You’ll need your V5C logbook (the vehicle registration document) to prove you’re the registered keeper, plus proof of ID and address if asked. If you have a service history for the car it isn’t essential, but it can help when agreeing the price. Don’t worry if you can’t find everything, just let us know when you get your quote.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C?
Yes, you can still scrap your car if you’ve lost your V5C logbook, though it may affect how quickly we can process everything. You’ll usually need to show some other proof that you own the car, like proof of ID and address, or your V5C reference number if you have it. Let our team know when you get your quote and we’ll talk you through what’s needed.
What if my car has outstanding finance?
If there’s still finance owed on your car, you’ll usually need to clear the balance or get permission from the finance company before it can be scrapped. Selling a car with outstanding finance without settling it first isn’t something we’re able to help with. If you’re not sure of your car’s finance status, it’s worth checking with your finance provider before getting a quote.
What if I've lost my car keys?
You can still scrap your car if you don’t have the keys, though it’s worth mentioning this when you get your quote as it may affect collection. Our team can usually still arrange for the vehicle to be collected without keys in most cases. Just let us know the situation and we’ll advise on the best way forward.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes, if your car is taxed when it’s scrapped, the DVLA will automatically refund any full months of remaining tax once you’ve told them the vehicle is off the road. The refund is calculated from the date you notify them, not the date of collection, so it’s worth telling the DVLA promptly. It’s paid automatically to the registered keeper, so there’s nothing extra you need to apply for.
How do I tell the DVLA I've scrapped my car?
Once your car has been collected, we’ll take care of notifying the DVLA that it’s been scrapped, so you don’t need to do this yourself. You’ll get confirmation once it’s been recorded, which removes you as the registered keeper. This also means you won’t be liable for the vehicle from that point onwards.
Do I get a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, providing you’ve requesed one. When your car is scrapped at one of our Authorised Treatment Facilities, you’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction confirming it’s been recycled legally. This document proves you’re no longer responsible for the vehicle and is worth keeping safe. It’s usually issued shortly after collection.
How do I get the best price for my car in Dewsbury?
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.
