Why Scrap My Car with Jamjar?
DVLA certificate of destruction
The car buyers you compare with Jamjar will issue you a Certificate of Destruction from the Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) that they use to scrap your vehicle. This tells the DVLA that your car no longer needs to be taxed, as required by law. If you have any questions, you can get in touch with the team at Jamjar and we’ll advise you. Alternatively, read our FAQs for more information.
No hidden information
A great offer for your car might not be so great once you’ve taken off all those hidden costs for admin fees, bank fees and collection fees. When you compare instant quotes with Jamjar, we’ll display all that information so that you can see the full offer in one go and know exactly how much you’ll get for your scrap car. If you don’t like the look of a deal, no problem – just choose a different one.
Free, no personal information car scrapping valuation
Your personal data should stay personal until you need to give it to someone. That is something that we’ve always believed in and so that’s why we give you the best car valuations for free without taking your personal details.
We make sure that you’ve chosen a quote and want to go ahead with scrapping your car before we ask for your information. Even then, we only need that info so that we can put you in touch with your prefered buyer/scrap yard.

You can scrap your car quickly with the help of Jamjar. We make it quick and easy to scrap your car; all you have to do is enter your reg number today to get started.
Once you’ve done that we’ll ask for a few details about the car, like the mileage, condition and then we’ll gather as many quotes for you as we can. We’re doing the hard part so that you don’t have to. Once you’ve compared the quotes, all you need to do is choose the one you’d like to use and contact the buyer from our trusted network.
How much is my scrap car worth?
Offering you the best price possible for your scrap car is something that we take pride in. While most other comparison sites give you a ‘deal’ we try to find you the best quote possible, even if your car is at the end of its life.
We take the estimated value of the car and compare the quotes given to us from our trusted network of buyers so that you don’t have to go out and get them yourself. So if you’re trying to maximise the amount of money you can get for your car scrapping, give us your reg and let us help you out.
