Where we collect in Axminster
We collect across EX13: Axminster town, Kilmington, Musbury, Hawkchurch, Membury, Dalwood, Chardstock and the A35 and A358 villages. Free collection, booked for the day you choose, with a call about an hour before.
Every collection in Axminster is free. Non-runners, MOT failures, accident damage, cars with no keys and cars that have sat for years: if a flatbed can reach it, we collect it at no cost, and you choose the day when you book.
Our buyers covering EX13 include GP Metals & Spares, a licensed car recycler about 60 minutes away in Weymouth that dismantles cars for parts rather than just weighing them in. Which buyer collects depends on who gives you the best price for your car; every one is a licensed car recycler, and you get a Certificate of Destruction either way. We don’t pass you to the yard: you deal with us from quote to payment.
- Local Insight
Cars in Axminster and the Axe Valley
Cars in Axminster are a rural mix: diesels from the A35 commute to Exeter and Dorchester, farm 4x4s and pickups from the Axe Valley, and older town cars from Axminster itself. The high-mileage diesels tend to reach us with injector, turbo or clutch faults and still have strong parts values in the engine and gearbox. The 4x4s usually fail on corrosion with their running gear intact. Both are worth more to our buyers than to a weighbridge, and for anything 2015 or newer, or a 4×4 with a decent engine, the salvage price is the one to check first.
