Scrap Car Comparison Mascot Services available in Great Dunmow

We offer more than just scrapping. Take a look at our range of services:

Scrap your car

You might think selling a scrap car would be difficult, but not with Scrap Car Comparison! We'll get you the best deals for your vehicle, and all we need to do it is the car's reg number and your postcode! Once you've accepted an offer you're happy with, it's as simple as gathering up some paperwork and handing over the keys.

Salvage your old vehicle

Salvaging a car is great if it's not quite ready to be scrapped, but needs significant repairs to get it back on the road. You might not be willing or able to pay for these repairs, or might simply want to move on to something more reliable. Selling as salvage means the good parts of your car will be reused, and you'll get higher offers!

Sell a damaged car

Pretty much every car we see here at Scrap Car Comparison has suffered some kind of damage. We see everything from simple wear and tear in old cars, to newer motors that have been written off in a crash! Our buyers aren't put off by the damage to your car either, so we can get your car sold no matter what state it's in.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Those drivers who use larger commercial vehicles, like vans, trucks or even buses, can also get a quote from Scrap Car Comparison when they're ready to be disposed of. Bigger vehicles are usually worth more money as scrap, so you might be surprised at just how much value your old work vehicle is worth. You can even scrap an entire fleet!

Scrap Car Comparison Mascot How To Scrap Your Car In Great Dunmow

1. Get a quote

Simply enter your details, including your vehicle reg & postcode, into our online form and you'll be given a quote for your car. These quotes are what local scrap specialists are prepared to pay for your vehicle, and are based on the ever-changing market value of scrap metal.

2. Accept an offer

Once you're happy with the price you've been quoted, you can accept it and guarantee that amount of money. This means that what you see is exactly what you'll be paid once the vehicle has changed hands. The collector won't try any on-the-spot renegotiations. Then, you can arrange a collection time to suit you.

3. Wave goodbye to your car

With collection arranged, you'll need to gather up the relevant paperwork, like the car's V5C log book, and make sure you've got some photo ID to hand. When the collector arrives, they'll need to see these documents, then you can hand over the keys and payment will be processed. Typically, it'll hit your bank account the same day!

What happens to my car once it's sold as scrap?

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.

What are the differences between scrapping and salvaging?

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.

How long have you working in the Great Dunmow area?

Whilst Scrap Car Comparison has been around since 2016, many of our associated scrap & salvage dealers in Great Dunmow 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.

How much is the average scrap car worth in Great Dunmow?

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 Great Dunmow 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.

Can you help me with 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.

Should I use a local scrap yard?

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 Great Dunmow will easily cover the broader Essex area, even up to Braintree and Billericay. 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.

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.
