Where we collect in Chard
We collect across TA20: Chard town, Tatworth, Forton, Combe St Nicholas, Winsham, Chaffcombe, Buckland St Mary and the villages along the A30 and A358. Collections are free and booked for the day you choose.
Every collection in Chard 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 TA20 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 Chard and the A30 commute
Cars in Chard are a mix of town runabouts and the commuter diesels that do the A30 and A358 runs to Yeovil, Taunton and Honiton. The commuters are the ones that reach us with big mechanical bills: dual-mass flywheels, turbos and DPFs on 150,000-mile Focuses, Astras and Golfs. Those cars are worth more as parts than as scrap weight, which is what our buyers price. The other local pattern is the trade: Chard has a lot of small businesses and self-employed drivers, so vans and pickups come through regularly, and a van with a good engine and a tired body is a salvage sale rather than a scrap sale.
