How Carscrap works
Carscrap publishes free guidance for owners and arranges scrapping, deregistration and export through one partner scrapyard. Your enquiry goes to that partner, and the partnership never changes a guide.

Four steps
How an enquiry becomes a quote
- You send the form. Six visible fields describe the vehicle and how to reach you; COE expiry is required because it drives the COE rebate.
- Carscrap passes it on. The vehicle and contact details go to our partner scrapyard in Singapore, and to no one else.
- Our partner replies. It aims to email an itemised quotation within one working day. That is an aim, not a promise.
- You decide. Check each line against the guides, ask questions, or walk away. There is no obligation.
If you go ahead, the scrapyard does the physical work. The owner remains responsible for disposal under LTA rules, and PARF and COE rebates are paid by LTA, not by Carscrap.[1]
Where an enquiry goes
The recipient
Who receives your enquiry
One partner scrapyard receives every enquiry. It is not a network, a panel or an auction, and no one bids against anyone else for your car.
The partner's name and status
We have not yet published the partner's name. Its name and status will appear on the about Carscrap page once they are confirmed.
Until then, this site makes no claim about the appointment status of either Carscrap or the partner. To see what that status means, read what an LTA appointment covers.
The route the quote assumes
Your disposal route matters here. LTA's disposal options are:
- scrapping at an appointed scrapyard;
- storage in an Export Processing Zone;
- export.
The quote should say which route it assumes, because that decides when deregistration happens and when rebates follow.[1]
Nothing on this site says the partner offers a better figure than anyone else. Compare its quote with others if you wish.
The money
Who pays Carscrap, and who does not
You never pay Carscrap. The guides, calculators and quote form are free, and no fee is added to any quotation on our behalf.
Our partner scrapyard may pay Carscrap for the enquiries it receives. That payment is how the site is funded. The commercial terms are private and are not published here.
Where each payment goes
Independence
Why the partnership does not change the guidance
Guidance independence means a guide reads the same whether or not an owner ever sends an enquiry. Four rules keep it that way.
- Every rebate, deadline and fee figure comes from LTA, SSO or MOT with a fetched date, never from a buyer.
- The guides split a quote into PARF rebate, COE rebate, body value and deductions, the lines a buyer might prefer merged.
- The partner scrapyard does not review, edit or approve any page before it is published.
- Research, outlining and drafting may be AI-assisted; an accountable person reviews every page before it ships.
The full checking process is set out in how figures are checked. Every guide starts from the Carscrap guides to scrapping a car.

What Carscrap does not do
Carscrap arranges; it does not operate.
Four things Carscrap never does
- tow, store or export vehicles itself;
- take payments or handle PARF and COE rebates;
- make LTA submissions for owners;
- give legal advice or promise any price, rebate or timeline.
