Top 5 Car Scrapping Myths Busted

If you're thinking about scrapping your old or damaged vehicle in the UAE, you've probably heard a few things that made you pause. At Scrap My Car UAE, we hear it all—from wild rumors to outdated advice. But it's time to separate fact from fiction.

Let’s bust the top 5 car scrapping myths so you can scrap your vehicle with confidence, get the best deal, and make the process hassle-free.

Myth 1: “You Can’t Scrap a Car If It’s Not in Working Condition”

Truth: That’s exactly the kind of car scrap yards want!

A common misconception is that your vehicle must be in running condition to be eligible for scrapping. In reality, scrap car buyers in Dubai and across the UAE specialize in non-working, damaged, or even flood-damaged cars. Whether your engine is dead, your car was involved in an accident, or it's been sitting idle for years, it's still worth something.

At Scrap My Car UAE, we assess the value of your car based on its weight, parts, and current scrap metal prices—not whether it can still drive.

Myth 2: “Scrapping a Car Is a Long and Complicated Process”

Truth: It’s actually quick, simple, and often done in a day.

Many assume scrapping a car involves endless paperwork, multiple trips to the scrap yard, and days of waiting. Not with Scrap My Car UAE. We’ve made the process quick and seamless:

We provide instant quotes
Handle all RTA de-registration paperwork
Offer same-day pickup from anywhere in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, or across the UAE
Pay cash on the spot

You can scrap your vehicle from the comfort of your home. No stress. No delays.

Myth 3: “You’ll Get Paid Very Little for Scrapping Your Car”

Truth: You can get a competitive price—even for an old car.

Many people believe scrapping a car means accepting the lowest possible offer. That might be true with unlicensed dealers or random tow truck operators. But at Scrap My Car UAE, we offer fair market rates based on the value of recyclable parts, metal content, and demand.

We’re trusted scrap car buyers in the UAE who ensure you get the best value, whether it’s for a sedan, SUV, or commercial vehicle.

Myth 4: “You Need to Fix the Car Before Scrapping It”

Truth: Don’t waste a single dirham fixing a car you plan to scrap.

Some people think they need to replace missing parts or repair the engine to increase the value before scrapping. Not only is this unnecessary, but it’s also a waste of money. Car scrapping companies like us are more interested in reusable parts and the scrap metal value. Missing wheels or a broken bumper won’t hurt your deal.

In fact, investing in repairs might cost more than the final offer. Save your time and money—let us handle it as-is.

Myth 5: “Only Car Owners Can Scrap Their Vehicles”

Truth: Authorized representatives can scrap a car too—with proper documentation.

It’s not uncommon for people to want to scrap a car that belonged to a family member or a company. While the process does require proper documentation (such as Emirates ID, vehicle registration, and ownership proof), you don’t have to be the original owner if you're legally authorized.

At Scrap My Car UAE, we help you navigate this. We’ll guide you through what’s needed, whether you're scrapping a personal car or a fleet vehicle.
