Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about scrap yards in South Africa

1

How much do you get for scrapping a car in South Africa?

Scrap car values in South Africa typically range from R2,000 to R15,000 depending on the make, model, year, and condition. Luxury brands like BMW and Mercedes often fetch higher scrap prices due to the demand for their used parts. Get quotes from multiple scrap yards through Engine Finder to compare offers and get the best price for your vehicle.

2

How to sell a car to a scrap yard?

To sell your car to a scrap yard in South Africa, you'll need your ID document and the vehicle's registration papers. For financed vehicles, you'll need a settlement letter from the bank. <a href='/sell-car-for-scrap' class='text-red-600 hover:text-red-700 font-medium underline'>Submit your car for scrap</a> through Engine Finder to receive quotes from verified scrap yards near you — they'll handle the paperwork and many offer free towing.

3

How to scrap a car in SA?

To legally scrap a car in South Africa, you must deregister the vehicle with the traffic department. Take your ID, registration certificate, and license disc to your nearest licensing office. The scrap yard will issue a Certificate of Destruction. Many Engine Finder scrap yard partners can assist with the deregistration process.

4

Who buys scrap vehicles in my area?

Engine Finder connects you with verified scrap yards across all major South African cities including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, and Bloemfontein. Submit one enquiry and receive multiple offers from local scrap yards competing for your vehicle — ensuring you get the best price.

5

How can I get the most money for scrapping my car?

To maximise your scrap car value: get quotes from multiple scrap yards (use Engine Finder to compare), remove personal belongings and aftermarket accessories you can sell separately, keep the catalytic converter intact as it contains valuable metals, and have your registration papers ready. Vehicles with working engines and gearboxes are worth significantly more than non-runners.

6

How much is scrap metal per kg in South Africa?

Scrap metal prices in South Africa vary by type: steel averages R2-R5 per kg, aluminium R15-R25 per kg, copper R80-R120 per kg, and brass R40-R70 per kg. Vehicle scrap prices are calculated based on weight and condition. For accurate vehicle scrap valuations, submit your car details through Engine Finder for free quotes.

7

Which car brand has the cheapest parts in South Africa?

Toyota, Volkswagen, and Ford generally have the most affordable used parts in South Africa due to their high sales volumes and wide availability at scrap yards. Common models like the Toyota Hilux, VW Polo, and Ford Ranger have the largest parts supply. Browse Engine Finder's scrap yard network to find competitive prices on any make.

8

How much can I get for scrapping my old car?

Old car scrap values in South Africa range from R1,500 for a small non-running hatchback to R20,000+ for a larger vehicle with a working engine. Factors include the vehicle's weight, condition of major components (engine, gearbox, catalytic converter), and current scrap metal prices. Submit your vehicle on Engine Finder to get competing quotes from verified scrap yards.
