FAQs

What are the scrap car prices in Basildon?

The good news is that scrap car prices are directly linked to the weight of your car. Got something bigger than a car? We can price and scrap your van too. And those prices reflect the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards in Basildon and the wider Essex county offer competitive prices for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we’ll find the best buyer in the country offering the best price nationally.

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. This means all of the components and parts will be stripped and processed in line with national environmental standards. 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.

How long have you been operating in the Colchester area?

Whilst Scrap Car Comparison has been around since 2016, many of our associated scrap & salvage dealers in Basildon have actually been in operation for far longer. Decades of experience have allowed them to refine their processes to make collection and removal as easy as can be.

Will the scrap yard offer me any support on the paperwork?

Many people scrapping their cars often need some advice on the paperwork after the car has been collected. The scrap yard staff that we work with are always available to answer any questions when they collect the vehicle. We also have a wealth of expert car scrapping guides on our blog here.

Is it better to use a scrap yard which is local to me?

The short answer is yes, because the area an individual yard will cover is governed purely by miles and logistics. For example, a yard in Basildon will easily cover the broader Essex area, even up to Canvey Island and Chelmsford. However, the costs and time associated with going further, and the low margins for scrap yards is why we will instead put you in touch with a partner that’s even more local to you.

Scrap Car Comparison automatically searches for prices in and around your exact location and our comparison engine finds the best option based on where you are weighing in price as well as logistics and speedy collection.

Allan W

Excellent service from the first phone call , right up to taking the vehicle away. Arranged a pick time to suit me.

Mervyn P

The process went very smoothly.

Chloe L

It was a good transaction but they weren’t totally transparent. Getting you to agree to a £180 if you chose to cancel which is fine but they don’t tell you that the company buying your car can change the agreed price. Guy was lovely I spoke to but not happy about the above

David M

BMS were really helpful, very professional and made the whole process easy and uncomplicated. Highly recommended.

Trevor N

The company who came to pick it up was first class phoned in advance. Explained about what and how he was going to pull the car on as couldn’t start for got his name but top bloke

Norman H

Very quick and straightforward, pick-up was at time specified, payment was within a couple of hours.

Mr Ross G

The whole process from start to finish was very efficient. I was offered more than I had expected, and once the car was collected I received the money in my account within an hour.

Bob S

Very good service with courteous staff and honoured commitments.
