Scrap your car

Just because the term scrap is in our name doesn’t mean that’s all we do. Here’s just a snapshot at some of our available services.

Sell a damaged car

We know that selling a damaged car is a potentially painful task. Trying to explain the problem to every prospective buyer can be tiring. That’s all cut out with Scrap Car Comparison as all of our buyers are specialists who often seek out broken cars.

Salvage your old vehicle

Many of our customers aren’t aware they can boost their price by selling their car as salvage. Just because your car is no longer roadworthy, doesn’t mean it can’t help others get back on the road. Sell as salvage for a potentially better price than scrap.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

A broken private vehicle is bad enough, but it can be worse if that vehicle is vital to your business. That’s why we also help sell vans and commercial vehicles with an identical level of service.

Step by step guide

1. Get a Quote

All it takes to find out how much your car is worth as scrap is a location and vehicle registration. Put these into our generator and get an instant quote. You can, of course, accept it there and then but did you know you could still boost that offer? Our team will call you after you’ve generated a price to explain more.

2. Give more details

Once our team has called you, this is your opportunity to provide more information on your car. The more details we have, the more accurately we can price up your vehicle. Quite often you’ll get more for your car as salvage than scrap, so it’s important to ensure you’ve given us all the details.

3. Arrange a collection

With a quote accepted, all that’s left to do now is arrange a time and location for our collection agents to come to you. This is provided for free as standard. You will be paid by bank transfer once your vehicle has been collected. The price you were quoted will be the price you are paid.

What are the scrap car prices in Sheffield?

We base all scrap car prices on the current cost of scrap metal. We also take into account the averages in the local Sheffield and wider Yorkshire area. Remember that scrapping a car is effectively just selling a large lump of scrap metal. This means the price is going to be governed by the weight of the vehicle you’re selling.

These prices will all reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. If your vehicle is designated as salvage, we’ll get you the very best price across the entire country. The same applies if you’re looking to scrap your van, too.

How is salvaging different from scrapping?

When a car is designated as salvage, it will be stripped for all of its usable parts and sold on as spares and repairs. You could get a better price selling as salvage than you could as scrap. This is because buyers have a larger potential return on their investment. Find out how to salvage your car.

What will happen to my scrap car?

Government legislation mandates the recycling of all scrap cars. The automotive manufacturing process utilises the vast majority of old scrap car parts, breathing life into brand new vehicles. This process embodies a circular automotive industry.

Can you scrap my specific make and model?

No matter how rare or obscure our car may be, we’ll absolutely be able to scrap your car. We’ve seen every car make and model you can imagine be sent for scrap, so there’s nothing we won’t find a price for. We’ve scrapped everything from the most commonly seen cars to one-off specials and imports.

If you’ve got a car that we can’t find the details for then we have a specialist team of experts. This team will still be able to get you a price just as quick as someone with a “normal” car.

Can my damaged, broken, missing MOT car be scrapped?

Absolutely! You can scrap a car in any condition. Whether your vehicle is damaged, has no current MOT or has been written off by your insurers we’ll get you an instant quote and arrange a collection.

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.
