Best price available. No fuss or hassle.

My enquiry was immediately answered by a friendly member of the team. He listened to my needs and responded with a decent offer, which I accepted. The collection process that followed was well explained and I received full payment for the vehicle on the day of collection.
A very satisfying end to my ownership of a lovely old and eventually non running car!

avoid like the plague! find someone local to you!

found this Scrap Car comparison online on google and I made the mistake of inquiring about my car to be scrapped. My car was running, and had just been seen by a mechanics and had a diagnostic check done which was clear except for one fault. ECU, which is why I was scrapping. Spoke with Jack, who called me and offered £260.00. I accepted and booked it in for collection. Once collected I was told money would be transferred within 24 hrs. First warning bell!. why the wait when it had been agreed. Car was collected and taken to the otherside of London - Croydon. I'm in N10. When i didn't receive the transfer, I called up 5 days later, and was told, that the car had more problems than I had declared - which was a lie! And that If i didn't want to accept the new offer, I can come and collect my car. new offer £100! What the hell!.... I had local offers coming and paying cash on collection for £200! Why did I not trust my gut, and decline this offer. They will say that they are simply a middle man and represent many scrap yards, but this is all a scam to pass the buck and pass the blame! Avoid this company and go to a local reputable scrap yard. These guys aren't ethical or moral in the way they handle their customers or clients!

Hidden fees and pressure sales

I got a call while I was at the hospital with my wife and baby and immediately said I wasn't interested. The sales person was very pushy and in the end I agreed to get them off the phone. The price seemed ok anyway and the only fee was if I cancel. Except no, it turns out there's all kinds of fees that I was never made aware of until it was too late to back out. This is a con. Stay well away.

Update 9/9/25: on 3rd September I contacted the company using the email address they gave in their reply to this review. 6 days later I have heard nothing.

Been totally ripped off

Been totally ripped off. I agreed to a fee of £400 for my car. A man picked it up and gave me a 4 page leaflet. I didnt bother reading it because as far as i was concerned it was being scrapped. I was told the money will be in my account within 48 hours. 8 days later i finally contact scrap my car to be told a company called nationwide scrap are only offering £150 or i can come and collect the car from Basingstoke (im in essex). Baring in mind i had already submitted the log book online so i didnt even own the car at that point. My advice to other people is be very careful if the pick up driver gives you a leaflet because you wont end up with what you agreed. Disgusted!!!

Update:
After being told they wouldnt be able to sell the car on because they say the engine had a hole in it and the catalytic converter was apparentley the wrong one, ive checked on the vehicle smart app and it has a brand new MOT on it less than a week later. I was using the car up until the day before they came to collect it. You choose to scrap your car through a site called Scrap my car comparison, agree a price and then once they’ve got it and you surrender the log book they offer you a silly price knowing full well there is nothing you can do about it. How do they get away with it? Its blatant robbery!!

Hi Harry,
When you sell your car to a scrap or salvage buyer, it is up to you to inform the DVLA of this. The DVLA will not contact you to tell you it has been scrapped. The DVLA should always be informed by the seller whenever a change in vehicle ownership has occurred.
Best wishes, SCC.
