Where we collect in Seaton
We collect across EX12: Seaton town and seafront, Beer, Branscombe, Colyton, Colyford, Axmouth and the lanes off the A3052. Steep village roads are fine for our flatbeds; the driver calls about an hour before arriving.
Every collection in Seaton 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 EX12 include GP Metals & Spares, a licensed car recycler about 65 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.

Cars in Seaton: seafront corrosion, low mileage
Seaton and Beer sit right on the sea, and the salt gets under cars here faster than anywhere inland in East Devon. The MOT failures we collect from EX12 are nearly all structural: sills, floor pans, brake pipes, exhausts. The engines are usually fine, often with low mileage because the town has a high retired population. That is the ideal parts car, and it is why our buyers’ quote usually beats a weight-only offer. Seaton also sees older campers and vans from the holiday trade, and a camper with a good engine and a tired body is a salvage sale rather than a scrap sale.
- Where Your Car Goes
Licensed recyclers only
Your Seaton car is collected by a licensed local agent and taken to a licensed car recycler, where reusable parts are saved before the rest is recycled.

Your Seaton car is collected by a licensed local agent and processed at a licensed car recycler, where reusable parts are recovered before the shell is recycled.
