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.

Highly recommended

Easy to use website. When contact made by telephone , lady was very courteous and efficient. Pick up arranged within a few days. Pick driver, very friendly and efficient. Money into bank within two days of pick up. All in all, excellent service!

Super easy and super friendly

Very easy process, car collected within a couple of days and money in my bank account the same day as collection - very friendly and patient driver who took my car away as it wasn't easy to get on the back of the truck! All in all a good experience. Thank you 😊

Top Take Back service

It was a very positive experience. The price they offered was better than the other quoted valuations I obtained. The online process was straightforward and efficient. Finally the collection of my vehicle was fast and friendly. So altogether a great experience!

Excellent.

Quick and easy to get a quote. The only downfall was waiting a week for it to be picked up, but the pick up driver was very helpful and polite towards me. Overall would recommend this company.

A great service

Car Take Back is a great service and I got a very good price. Once I had discussed all the details with the agent the price was fixed with no issues after that. Very friendly team that picked it up.

Good service

I thought this service was spot on: they came on time, took my car snf give me £220. I thought this was a decent amount for scrap as my car was a write-off. No hassle at all.

Great service

Excellent service Super friendly pick up drive that found my car which unfortunately was in a lay-by but found me with my three words app... payment was was quick the next day

Great service.

Easy to use, straightforward process to book the collection and receive payment. I'd recommend, especially if you're not able to take your car away yourself.
