Excellent Service
I had an excellent experience with Metro Salvage in Bolton and would highly recommend them.
I travelled several hours to scrap my written-off car, and they offered me a very fair price. While I was there, I also bought a used car at a great price, and it's been reliable, economical, and running perfectly.
The team were friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout. What impressed me most was their honesty. After accidentally leaving money in my old car, Adam went above and beyond by checking the crushed vehicle, recovering the money, and transferring it back to me.
Outstanding customer service and integrity are hard to find these days. A huge thank you to Adam and the team. I wouldn't hesitate to use Metro Salvage again or recommend them to others.
Amazing place . Definitely recommend

C4 grand picasso hinge
I was looking for a hinge for my C4 grand power tailgate I'd rang quite a few breakers with out any luck. I rang the Scrappers/ metro salvage who rang me back when they had found one. I wasn't able to collect as my car wasn't safe to drive with it having the faulty tailgate gate. So it was posted to me and arrived on the day it was need. Thanks guys I really appreciate what you've done for me

Drove in with a smashed up front bumper from an accident that had just happened a few streets away, the lads Liam & Steve were great! Calmed me down as I was still shaking from being run into, found me a matching bumper & had it fitted within the hour. Even knocked the price down as I was in such a state. Will definitely use again & will be recommending to everyone. Thanks so much fellas, I drove in almost crying & drove out laughing, what more can you ask for 😀😀😀

I dealt with a guy called David Brownrigg he owns multiple companies connected to scrappers I.E engines r us /pure engines he starts up companies check him out on companies house and then dissolves them owing people lots of money like me ,would like to hear from people with similar problems with him although I had gone through the courts pure engines is now dissolved and it’s hard to get the money back but I will find him via other methods.
Avoid at all costs.
First time using scrappers

very good service especially from ste whould recommend scrappers
0 stars if I could
0 stars if I could. Terry called me to arrange pick up of my vehicle. Same day, no show. Day after we arranged no show. After the weekend he said Monday. Monday no show. They made me change my V5 over to then before they even picked up the car or paid me causing me severe delay to then before told we don’t cover my area anymore. Utter lies . When I called they said Terry was the boss but when spoken to him he told me his boss said they don’t cover my area in a space of 3 days. Time wasting scammers ! Watch out they blocked me straight after and wouldn’t help me at all
I wished I donated my car to fire brigade to show people how dangerous a defective car it is and what can happen if put back on road
Oh my god rang scrappers to scrap my car because it was dangerous defective and not safe to find out it will be sold on and probably get someone killed if ever driven again
Total joke of o company scrapped bmw…
Total joke of o company scrapped bmw straight their to collect scrapped a 56 plate corsa came took straight away 3 weeks later still waiting on the money then today 15,06,2024 they offer 50 for the corsa when originally price was 150 and I have a recording of the conversation 200 for a qashqai to witch they did not collect had to use a direct company wich gave me more than these clowns even offered them a winnebago for free to which they have dragged their heels that much the offer is now off the table police have been contacted over the theifing rats and would strongly advise anyone to keep wide of these clowns see youse in court very soon
Avoid them
They rang me offered to scrap my car. Agreed a price a day and a time. I sat in most of the day, they didn't turn up. Rang them, to be told it wasn't book in, we'll come and get it tomorrow, you'll be rung in the morning. No phone call rang them at midday to be told it wouldn't be collected for another two days oh and we'll give you £75 less than agreed. Avoid them is my advice.
AGREED A PRICE
AGREED A PRICE
AGREED A DAY TO HAVE COLLECTION (next day)

WAITED ALL DAY

TOLD WILL SORT IT
GOT HUNG UP ON
rang back an hour later
BOSS DONT WANT IT SO NOT COLLECTING
WASTED WHOLE BLOODY DAY TO BE RUDELY SACKED OFF
AVOID THIS BUNCH LIKE THE PLAGUE
