Scrap Car Comparison Mascot How to scrap your car in Purley

1. Get a quote

Getting the ball rolling is super simple with Scrap Car Comparison's easy quote system. All you need to give us is your car's registration and your postcode, then we'll present you with a price for your vehicle that's offered by scrap or salvage dealers local to you. If you're happy to give us a bit of extra information, you could even get your car classified as salvage. This will get you a better price, as it means your vehicle is more valuable!

2. Arrange collection

Once you're happy with the offered price, go ahead and accept it. Then you'll be able to choose when you want the car collected to be taken to the scrap or salvage yard. This part of the service is also free, so don't worry about any fees being deducted from what you're owed. Every customer will have their car collected by a professional who knows how to do so safely. You can pick a time and location that suits you best.

3. Spend your money!

Now the fun part... your payment will be processed as soon as your vehicle has been collected, so in most cases our customers receive their payment, sent directly to their bank account, the very same day. Wondering why we can't pay you in physical cash? In 2013, the Scrap Metal Dealers Act was introduced which restricted cash payments for scrap cars, in order to tackle stolen vehicle being scrapped without a trace.

What's the difference between scrap & salvage?

Salvage cars are sold for their parts, whereas scrap vehicles are sold primarily for their metal. Salvage vehicles will be broken into pieces so that the good parts inside can be removed, while scrap cars are usually crushed whole.

Where does my car end up when it's scrapped?

Your scrap car will be recycled by licenced scrap dealers at locations called Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) in and around Purley. Parts from salvage cars will be reused in new vehicles, supporting a sustainable automotive industry.

How much do scrap cars sell for in Purley?

Scrap Car Comparison bases scrap car prices in Purley on the current cost of scrap metal, which changes constantly. Prices are determined mostly by the weight of your vehicle, but other factors – like age, mileage, make & model – also count. Salvage cars are usually worth more, and all of this applies to commercial vehicles too!

Can you scrap my car even if it's an unusual model?

We can scrap any car, no matter how rare or obscure. We have a team of experts who know just how to get you the best price possible, even for unusual cars we don’t see often. From one-off specials to foreign imports, we’ll help you get it sold. Rest assured, we’ll find a price for every make and model, providing a quick and efficient service tailored to your specific car.

Can my car be sold even if it's damaged or failed its MOT?

Yes, your damaged, broken, or MOT-failed car can be scrapped using our service. Get an instant quote with free collection today.

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.
