Repair or scrap your car? Questions to help you decide
Compare the repair work, your need for the car and the amount you would receive before deciding whether to repair it or sell it for scrap.
Find out what the repair includes
Ask your garage for a written breakdown. Separate the immediate repair from work you may need soon, and ask what remains uncertain until the car is inspected further.
Compare more than one number
- What will the known repairs cost?
- How much use would you expect from the car afterwards?
- Would being without the car create extra travel costs?
- What would a suitable replacement cost you?
- What is the quoted scrap price for the car as it stands?
Consider what the car means to you
A familiar car may suit your family, fit your equipment or carry memories you value. There is no single repair-cost threshold that makes the right decision for everyone.
