Can I Sell My Car for Scrap?

Of course. These include the model of the vehicle, its age, condition, state of repair, and the value of scrap metal at the time your vehicle is collected to be scrapped. Just fill out your details and we’ll get back to you with a selection of offers from local dealers in and around Croydon. All you need to do is compare them and pick the best deal.

Will I Need to go to a Croydon Scrap Yard?

Not anymore. In the past, you would have to take your car or vehicle to a scrapyard in Croydon, and you’d be limited to the price they offer you. Unless you went elsewhere afterwards. That’s a lot of time driving around! Our service enables you to compare quotes from different providers, choose the most competitive offer, and have your vehicle collected to be scrapped – you won’t even have to leave your home.

Can You Collect Near Me?

We’ll collect your car for you at your home or work. So even if you live further away from the center of town in Croydon, you won’t have to take time out of your day to drop your car off at the scrap yard. We’ll pick your car up at a time that suits you at the best price.

Do You Collect Salvage Cars?

We do collect salvage cars. It’s often the case that salvage cars written off by insurers make more money than cars for scrap. Read the full guide on salvage cars here, and complete our form for a quote for a salvage car today to see how much you can get for your written off car.

Can You Scrap My Specific Make And Model?

Rest assured, we can scrap any make and model of car you have. Our expert team has experience with all types of vehicles, from the most common to the most non-standard. Whether it’s a rare find or a one-off import, we will find the best price for your car. If your car is particularly unique, our specialist team will still be able to provide you with a quick and competitive quote. Trust Scrap Car Comparison to handle your specific make and model with ease.

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.
