How are scrap car prices calculated?

If you are looking to sell your scrap metal, price is going to be a big factor in your decision making. But how can you be sure that you are getting that honest rate?

Does class of metal matter?

One of the big deciders in the price of your scrap metal is actually the type of material that you are trading in. To the average person, metal may just seem like metal – but did you know that there are actually lots of different classifications for metals? All of which determine its end price at the trading point.

Main types of metals?

Ferrous and non-ferrous are the most common types of metal, these types of metals can be broken down further by their properties such as strength and density. Typically, copper and brass goods carry the most value in the scrap metal trade. Alloys such as gold and silver are often worth the most – but are not so commonly recycled.

Current market value?

Another big determiner of price is the current market value of the material.

At Scrap My Car, our competitive prices are designed to match and beat the scrap car industry rates. It is worth noting that these prices can fluctuate on a daily basis. Contact us today for the most recent up to date UK metal prices. 

Quality of the metal?

It goes without saying, but it is also important for your scrap metal to be of good quality.

Metals can usually still be recycled even if they are of poor quality, but this can decrease their value as there will be a number of additional steps that need to be taken in order to standardise the material.

Car scrap yard location?

Locality and distance to the scrap car yard might play a part in the valuation of your vehicle. If your car or vehicle has come to the end of its life and is ready to be recycled, don’t hesitate to get in contact with Scrap My Car for a top price with FREE collection.
