How our scrap value calculator works

Our calculator couldn’t be simpler to use. All we need is your car’s registration number and your postcode. We’ll do the rest in the blink of an eye.

  • Registration number: This helps us identify the exact make, model and age of your car, and ensures we calculate the best, most accurate quote possible.
  • Postcode: This helps us understand where you are in the UK, which means we can calculate the best scrap prices for your local area.

How to have your scrap car collected

Once you have accepted the quote for your car, we can collect it from you – scrap car collection is free! One of our team will contact you by email or phone to arrange an ideal collection time. We’ll do our best to collect at your chosen time, and we collect most cars within just two working days.

Our collection times are usually Monday to Saturday between 7am and 7pm. If this doesn’t work for you, do let us know and we’ll do our best to make the timing work.

4.9/5 stars based on 1,358 service ratings over the past year

Very good company

Staff very friendly and polite, they explained how everything would work, driver called before he arrived and the money was transferred as soon as the car had been checked.Very easy from start to finish.

Overall satisfactory,especially the local rep.

I thought the price I got for the vehicle was low,but the representative from my area was excellent,and dealt with the paperwork quickly and efficiently. The fact that the vehicle is picked up is a big plus.

Company communicated well collected when stated with no hiccups.

Did what they said they would ie rang when they said and turned up. Pick up driver friendly and efficient. Driveway was slightly awkward but no issue made and got on with the job at hand. Vehicle picked up on Friday, payment made following Monday.

What's not to like?

Very easy to deal with. They came when they said they would, and within a couple of hours, my payment was in my bank. When i searched the internet, they were the highest payers too!!

Five Stars - Excellent Service

Really excellent service - incredibly easy to organise on the phone and Aaron who came to pick up the car helped deal with transferring the ownership via the DVLA himself. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Car take back was recommended to me. Didn't disappoint.

Very simple process, no fuss or bother. Just the sort of service you want. I would recommend them to anyone. It's great to see some company's do what they say they with no complications.

Excellent and Professional Service

Professional, straightforward and easy process. Excellent communication from initial enquiry to pick up of vehicle. Found everyone extremely personable and helpful. A pleasure to deal with!

Same day payout..Thank You!

Car Talkback are a great team to deal with. I scrapped my car for a reasonable price and was not pestered to take a lower offer. The team were prompt and efficient and I received payment the same day.
