Where we collect in Lyme Regis
We collect from the whole of DT7: Lyme Regis, Uplyme, Charmouth, Rousdon, Wootton Fitzpaine and the lanes back towards the A35. Collections are booked for the day; the driver calls about an hour before arriving.
Every collection in Lyme Regis 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 DT7 include GP Metals & Spares, a licensed car recycler about 55 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 licensed, 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 Lyme Regis: life on the Jurassic Coast
Lyme Regis has the same problem as every seafront town: salt. Cars kept near the Cobb or parked on Marine Parade rust underneath long before the engine gives up, and the local MOT stations fail plenty of cars on corrosion that would pass anywhere inland. Those cars are worth more as parts than as scrap weight. The town’s hills also take a toll on clutches and brakes, so a lot of DT7 cars come to us with a big repair bill rather than a dead engine. If the garage has quoted more than the car is worth, get the scrap and salvage prices side by side before you decide.
