Where we collect in Wareham
We collect from the whole BH20 postcode: Wareham, Sandford, Northport, Stoborough, Wool, Bovington, East Stoke, Corfe Castle, Lulworth, Bere Regis and the villages in between. Narrow Purbeck lanes are not a problem; tell us where the car is and the driver will bring the right truck.
Every collection in Wareham 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 BH20 include GP Metals & Spares, a licensed car recycler about 25 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.

Cars in Purbeck: salt, lanes and 4x4s
Wareham sits between Poole Harbour and the Purbeck coast, so cars here rust from both sides: salt air on the panels and wet, muddy lanes underneath. Floor pans, sills and subframes are the usual MOT failures. The upside is that BH20 produces a lot of 4x4s and pickups (Land Rovers, Hilux, Rangers) from farms, the army camp at Bovington and the holiday trade, and those have strong parts values even with a rotten chassis. A Defender or Discovery that has failed on corrosion is almost always a salvage job rather than a scrap job, so check the salvage price before you accept a weight-only offer.
