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.
