Why Choose a Local Scrap Dealer in North Somerset

When it comes to scrapping your car, you have plenty of options. National comparison websites, distant scrap yards, and local dealers all compete for your vehicle. But there are compelling reasons to choose a local, family-run business for your scrap car collection in North Somerset.

Better Prices, Less Overhead

National comparison sites take a cut of every transaction. When you deal directly with a local scrap dealer like Ben Whitcombe Ltd, that money stays in your pocket. We don't have call centres or marketing departments to fund, just a family business that's been operating in North Somerset for over 20 years.

Faster Response Times

Being based in Puxton means we can reach anywhere in North Somerset within minutes. Need same-day collection? We can often accommodate you. National services may take days to arrange collection, working around their logistics rather than yours.

Local Knowledge Matters

We know the narrow lanes of Banwell, the tight streets of Clevedon, and the holiday park layouts in Brean. This local knowledge means smooth collections without fuss, no drivers getting lost or struggling with access.

Accountability & Reputation

We live and work in this community. Our reputation matters to us. When you choose a local dealer, you're choosing someone who has to maintain their standing with their neighbours. We're registered with the Environment Agency and North Somerset Council, and we comply with all requirements of the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

Personal Service

When you call us, you speak to a real person who knows the business. No call queues, no scripts, no being passed between departments. Just straightforward, friendly service from people who care about doing a good job.
