Average scrap car value

More often than not, the value of a car depreciates over time. The scrap value of a car can change often, and scrap car values can actually increase month on month. This is mainly due to the demand for scrap metals across the globe. Many other factors also play a part in the value of your scrap car, such as, the condition and age of it, as well as whether it has any parts that can be dismantled and reused. The current average value of scrap cars is tracked in our monthly scrap car price update.

More than scrap car valuation

We offer a complete scrap car service, we don’t just offer you a scrap valuation. If you choose CarTakeBack you can relax knowing you’re choosing a company that’s approved by car makers. We do things in line with the law and ensure that when you scrap your car it’s a hassle free process.

Once you know your car scrap value, we can come and collect your car from your home, work, or even a garage, wherever is more convenient for you. We’ll call and arrange a time to collect your car that’s best for you.

If you’d rather drop your car off at your local CarTakeBack branch, you can do that, there’s no need for an appointment, just bring along your car with your reference number during our opening hours. We have over 300 branches across the UK!

When it comes to scrapping your car, CarTakeBack will help you to get the DVLA paperwork right, ensuring that your registration certificate (V5C – the log book) is correctly filled out. This absolves you from any further responsibility for the car. It’s important to do this by the book when you sell your car, so that you avoid a fine.

Great professional service

Great service, everything went exactly to plan. I was offered a fair price for my vehicle and the payment was made exactly as promised. I would highly recommend their services to anyone struggling to dispose of their vehicle.

Quick, easy and efficient

Quick, efficient, hassle free. Only problem was the queuing system on the phone when trying to return their call. Having the contactless collection was brilliant, and payment was made the next day as explained.

Great

Very easy 👌 Money in my bank account within 30 minutes. The driver explained everything I needed to know He also came within the time I was told. Everything went smoothly.

The best experience I had with this service was excellent.

The form was easy to fill out. I was informed of everything that needed to be put down. The guy rang me an hour before collection and went through any paperwork. Overall I was very pleased with the service provided.

Fantastic service

Great service Good price paid for my car plus the best bit is that once the car gets back to their depo the money was in my bank account by 5 pm the same day I would definitely recommend this company friendly staff from the reception to the pick up person

Excellent service from initial telephone call to collection.

Seamless, quick and extremely easy to go through the process from start to finish. Best price i could find and I was paid in full by the end of the day after collection. Sad to see my old car go, happy to see the scrap value appear in my bank account!

Professionalism at its finest

Right from the get go Customer service was very Pleasant. Then when driver came to take the car he was Very polite and professional. I would highly Recommend these and in Addition best price was given so all in all 5 out of 5.
