What Our Customers Say About Scrapping a Vehicle

4.813 reviewsReviews collected by Feefo

GP Metals and Spares

Scrapping my car was done quickly and efficiently once the transporter found me having been led by his satnav into a village cull-de-sac instead of my gate a few yards further down the main road. May I suggest he uses more modern navigation aids such as Google Maps which would get him to the exact address.

Where Can I Scrap My Car in South London?

How Much Can I Scrap My Car for in South London?

Looking for the best scrap car prices South London offers? South London’s ATF density and ULEZ compliance create competitive pricing across all SE postcodes. Your scrap value depends on three factors: catalytic converter condition (intact cats with platinum group metals add £80–£450), salvageable parts (engine, gearbox, body panels), and the current scrap metal market rate.

Across the vehicles we collected in South London over the last 12 months, the average scrap price paid was £220. What your own car is worth depends on its weight, age, and whether the catalytic converter is intact — enter your registration above and you'll have a guaranteed figure in 30 seconds. If your car is damaged but still repairable, it is usually worth more as salvage than as scrap: salvage valuations in South London averaged £3,200. Every quote is guaranteed with no hidden fees.

How Does South London’s Diversity Create the UK’s Broadest Vehicle Brand Range?

South London’s extraordinary diversity – from Dulwich’s wealth to Thamesmead’s affordability – produces every vehicle brand at scrap yards. ULEZ charges drive diesel scrappage across all SE postcodes. The Thames’ south bank industrial heritage provides ATF infrastructure. If your end-of-life vehicle has failed its MOT or ULEZ charges are uneconomical, South London’s ATF density ensures top prices at local scrap yards.

Avoid this charge by scrapping non-compliant vehicles.
