Scrap Car Comparison Mascot How to scrap your car in Guildford

1. Get your quote

All you need to do is enter your vehicle reg & postcode and we'll generate you a free, instant quote for your car. Not completely satisfied by the price? See if you can get even more money by giving over a few more details when our team contact you by phone - your car might be suitable for salvage rather than scrap!

2. Give more details

When our team contacts you, providing them with more information could increase the price you're offered - it's all to do with accurately valuing it based on its condition. Salvage prices are usually higher than scrap, so a few more details could mean a big difference for your bank balance, and it only takes a couple of minutes!

3. Arrange your collection

Accept a quote and you'll be contacted by a collection agent who will allow you to choose a time for the collection of your car to take place. It won't cost you a penny as it's an included part of the Scrap Car Comparison service. Once the vehicle is taken away, payment will be processed and the amount you accepted will be sent to your bank account.

How much is a scrap car worth in Guildford?

The price of any scrap car is determined by the current cost of scrap metal in the local area. It does, however, also take into account the weight of your vehicle. This is due to metal making up most of your car. We align our prices to meet or exceed the averages in Guildford so you’re sure to get a good deal. Got a car that’s fit for salvage instead? Even better! Plus, the same processes are used to price up vans and commercial vehicles. This is how Scrap Car Comparison gets every customer a great deal.

Scrap vs salvage differences

Salvaging strips a car of all its useful parts so that they can be sold on for spares and repairs. Selling as salvage can land you a better price than scrap because there is a larger return on investment for the vehicle’s buyer. You can find out more about salvaging with Scrap Car Comparison.

What happens to my car next?

Scrap vehicles must be recycled in accordance with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. Each of our buyers will responsibly dispose of your car the proper way, at an ATF (Authorised Treatment Facility).

Can I scrap my make & model of car?

Absolutely! We will scrap any vehicle of any make or model! Our team is experienced at scrapping all types of vehicles, including rarer models and niche commercial types. It doesn’t matter if your car is a one-off import or an everyday runabout, you’ll get the best price for it from Scrap Car Comparison. Have faith in our team to provide a quick and easy service regardless of the type of car your drive.

Can I scrap my damaged or failed MOT car?

Yes. Any vehicle, even if it’s suffered any amount of damage or wear & tear can be scrapped in Guildford. Our instant quote system works for all vehicles and you can still get free collection even if your car doesn’t run.

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.
