About Scrap Car Comparison
Founded in 2008, Scrap Car Comparison was one of the country’s first comparison websites for scrap vehicle prices.
Since that time, our independent website has been offering free, instant scrap and salvage quotes for all UK residents, simply by providing your car registration and postcode. We have also grown and developed a nationwide network of reputable scrap car breakers, collectors and dedicated buyers.
We work with government accredited Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) and approved buyers nationwide to provide you with a friendly and impartial service, whilst removing the hassle of the sale and disposal of your scrap or salvage vehicle.

How Scrap Car Prices Are Generated
When pricing a scrap vehicle there are various factors which are taken into consideration. Influences which affect a price may include:
- the proximity of a vehicle to a scrap yard (ATF)
- the size and weight of a vehicle
- the ease at which the vehicle can be recovered and collected
- the availability of paperwork such as the V5C
- whether the vehicle is still driveable
- whether the vehicles have any specialist parts, current metal values and even fuel
The pricing of scrap and salvage vehicles are always fluctuating due to these factors.
Scrap Car Comparison’s Trusted Partners

All of the companies we work with are thoroughly evaluated to check that their service and conduct are up to standard and we regularly re-check this to ensure that you receive the best quality service possible. That’s why, when we find you the perfect buyer, you will see either a Trusted Buyer banner or a Certified Buyer banner.
Keeping sustainable with salvage
We, like any business, have sustainability at the forefront of our mind. Dealing with damaged and broken cars may not seem like the obvious place to find sustainable solutions, but we’ve been researching the environmental impact on scrapping against salvaging. This work has shown that in the vast majority of cases, it will always be a more sustainable option to repair your car than it is to send it to the scrap yard.
Most scrap cars will, in some way or another, be replaced by a brand new car. When you factor in the amount of work required to build and ship one of these new vehicles, combined with the environmental impact that new car will have in general, it is often far better to simply repair than scrap.
This is also better for you as a customer, too! Most salvage offers are larger than you’d be quoted as scrap which means more money for you in addition to being better for the environment.
