How much are scrap cars selling for in Mitcham?

Scrap Car Comparison’s prices in Mitcham are dictated by the ever-changing cost of scrap metal. Prices are determined primarily (but not entirely) by the weight of your vehicle, reflecting the national average for scrap metal in the UK. If your car is salvage, the value of the components in your car that can be taken out count for a lot! The same applies if you’re scrapping a van.

How is salvaging different from scrapping?

When a car is salvaged, it is dismantled and has its usable parts removed. These are then sold on for other repairs. Selling as salvage usually fetches a better price than scrapping, as scrap cars are simply crushed and recycled – they’re only worth the value of their raw materials (mostly metal).

What happens to my car?

Your scrap car will be responsibly recycled by Authorised Treatment Facilities (the fancy name for licenced scrapyards) and scrap metal dealers in Mitcham. Salvaged parts are reused in newer vehicles, helping to keep the industry sustainable.

Can you scrap my exact make/model?

We can scrap any car, no matter how rare or obscure. Our specialist team of experts ensures you get the best price for your non-standard vehicle. From commonly seen cars to one-off specials and foreign imports, Scrap Car Comparison is here to help. If your car’s details are hard to find, don’t worry – we’ll still get you a price quickly and efficiently.

My car is heavily damaged - will you take it?

Yes, your damaged, broken, or written off car can be scrapped with us. We even take cars that have failed their MOT. Get an instant quote and arrange collection for your vehicle now in Mitcham.

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.
