Scrap Car Comparison Mascot FAQs

What are the scrap car prices in York?

All the scrap car prices we offer are based on how heavy your car is. The quote will be worked out based on the weight and the current national average price for scrap metal. With our extensive York network, we’ll get you an accurate price in moments.

How is salvaging different from scrapping?

A salvage car will be stripped of its working parts and sold to fix other vehicles. Salvage prices are often higher than scrap offers as a result. Find out how to salvage your car.

What will happen to my scrap car?

All scrap cars must be recycled in line with government legislation. Almost all of your car will be used to create parts for new cars. Find out more about car recycling.

Can you scrap my specific make and model?

Absolutely! We’ve scrapped everything, so we can get a quote for all car makes and models. We can even price up those more obscure vehicles. From supercars to family hatchbacks, we’ll scrap it all!

If you’re unsure, just give our team a call and we’ll put your mind at ease.

Can my damaged, broken, missing MOT car be scrapped?

No damaged car is too badly broken for our service. Even if you’ve got an insurance write off or a car with no current MOT, we can get you a great price.

Use our quote generator to get a price in as little as 60 seconds. Alternatively call our team for free 7 days a week on 03333 44 99 50.

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.
