Scrap Car Comparison Mascot Services available in Romford

We offer plenty of different services, including:

Scrap your car

Scrapping your car has been made easy by Scrap Car Comparison. We'll quote you the best price around for your car, generated based on current scrap metal market trends. All we need from you is your vehicle's reg & your postcode, then we can put you in touch with the highest bidder if you accept their offer!

Salvage your old vehicle

Selling your vehicle as salvage is a great alternative to scrapping, if your car still has some life left in it. The parts can be stripped out and reused in other vehicles, or the car could be restored on the whole and put back on the road. You're also likely to get more money for selling as salvage instead of scrap!

Sell a damaged car

We totally expect to see damage on all of the vehicles that we find buyers for, so if your car has anything from dents and scratches, all the way through to write off damage, we will quote you a price! Enter your details and find out what your car is worth, despite any damage, right now!

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Vans, trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles can be sold with Scrap Car Comparison in the same way as a car would be. Simply get a quote and find out what your vehicle - or an entire fleet - is worth. Commercial vehicles, which are usually large, are often worth more than an average car, too!

How much can I scrap my car for in Romford?

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 Chelmsford 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.

What happens to my car once it's scrapped?

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 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.

How long have you been operating in Romford?

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

Can you help me with the paperwork involved?

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 beneficial to 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 Chelmsford 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.
