Scrap Car Comparison Mascot Services available in Saffron Walden

The range of services that we offer includes:

Scrap your car

All we require is your vehicle registration and your postcode, then we can get you a quote in under a minute! Old, broken, banged up or written off... Scrap Car Comparison will find a buyer for your car.

Salvage your old vehicle

Sell your car as salvage instead of scrap if there's a bit of life left in it, and you could bank even more cash! Salvaging helps the environment by reusing your old car's parts rather than simply crushing them, so these cars are usually worth more.

Sell a damaged car

We've seen cars with all sorts of damage over the years. That's why we're able to find a buyer who's interested in your vehicle whatever condition it's in. It might have a few scrapes and some wear & tear, or it could have been written off - we'll still get it sold!

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Vans and other commercial vehicles, including trucks and buses, can also be scrapped with us here at Scrap Car Comparison. In fact, these larger vehicles are often the ones that fetch the most money. You can even scrap and entire fleet with us!

What are the scrap car prices in Saffron Walden?

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 Saffron Walden 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 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 Saffron Walden area?

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

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 Saffron Walden 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.
