- Local Insight
Commuter cars in Ottery St Mary
Ottery St Mary is close enough to Exeter for a lot of its residents to commute, and the cars we collect from EX11 are mainly family hatchbacks, estates and small SUVs that have done the A30 for years. The failures are the familiar ones: clutches, DPFs, timing chains and the occasional head gasket on a car that is otherwise straight. Those are parts cars, and the engine, gearbox, doors and alloys all sell, which is why our buyers’ quote is usually ahead of the weighbridge. West Hill also has a lot of second cars on long drives that have been SORNed and forgotten; we handle the DVLA paperwork when we collect.
