call was answered by a very polite & helpful lady. I was offered a good price for my car which I arranged to have collected the following day. The gentleman who took the car away rolled it off the drive & onto their pick-up vehicle without needing my help. He completed the relevant documentation & provided a receipt, acknowledging my vehicle had been taken. A very polite, professional & helpful service from start to finish. Would definitely recommend Lowes as I understand some companies state one price then use excuses to reduce their offer which was not the case with Lowes. The money was in my account within the hour slot I was told to expect to receive it.
month ago to declare interest but advised my road was closed for 31 days so collection would be difficult to which a very helpful lady (Dawn) replied and said no problem she'd get back to me after this time.
Sure enough, she did without any need for me to contact them again. She even advised that the price of scrap had gone up during this time so they were increasing their original offer by £40 which I thought was extremely honest and good of them.
On collection this morning, they were punctual down to the minute. I received a certificate of destruction along with an email stating that payment would be made at 18:00 this evening. I have just received the money into my bank a full hour earlier than I was told.
Cannot fault this service at all and everyone every step of the way has been nothing but courteous and helpful. Extremely highly recommended.
Very professional, great service. Booked car in at...
my convenience, no problem, friendly on-time collection and prompt payment. Log book and receipt completed as expected. Very happy with service, would recommend.
picked up on arranged time and money paid into account same day. Brilliant customer service as all answered questions straight away. No fuss, highly recommended!
few Websites to scrap my car due to the London ulez expansion coming into force soon and choosing them to scrap my car.
Lowes was giving the best scrap value and it is that reason i decided to use them and was a little appehensive as not used them before. But looked at there reviews and was happy to proceed.
They was really nice polite and very friendly and helpful, the lady in the office got me booked in promptly for the collection of my car and arranged for a COD i requested, the man who collected it was also friendly and helpful and loaded the car and completed the paperwork with me and said the payment for the car should be in your account by this evening,
It was in my account at around 4pm, and i received the COD (CERTIFICATE OF DESTRUCTION) by email the next morning, also the lady in the office called me the next day to say the COD had been sent by email and it may end up in your spam/junk folder.
Very impressed with the complete service and would recommend to others looking to scrap a car, also check prices as the scrap value goes up and down and lowes was giving the best price at the time beating others by over £40 to £50
number & the lady at the end of the phone was absolutely amazing. Very polite, good manners and knew exactly what she was talking about!!
Gave us a fantastic offer we couldn’t refuse. Came when they said they would, even turned up a little earlier!! So so happy and would 100 recommend. If you’re thinking about scrapping your car do it with this company you won’t be disappointed. Well done to the lady behind the phone keep up the good work!! 🙂
Very professional company that scrapped my car after...
a company named Redcorn Ltd disappointed me. The agreed amount was paid into my account same day and the money even came in before the time they mentioned. Would highly recommend them.
family member who can no longer drive due to illness. Both Dawn in the office and the driver have been so easy to deal with and understanding of the case. It was lovely to turn up at the house yesterday with the driver waiting. He showed great empathy and understanding around scrapping the car as discreetly as possible to avoid any distress. I wish everyone we deal with was as caring and professional as this company have been. Thank you for making this task so easy for us. It really is very much appreciated. Would have no hesitation in recommending them. Money received by 5pm the same day and destruction certificate emailed the next day.
collected within the hour and the guy taking the car was understanding of the emotional attachment! Really satisfied with the price paid and the process, all very quick. Thank you!
and beyond to book a convenient time to collect my vehicle, the driver was on time, polite and friendly, they offered a very fair price and the money was in my account by the close of business the same day. Also supplied a certificate of destruction.
I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone. Keep up the good work.
Very smooth transaction. Picked up on time, paid...
the money at the agreed amount and on time. Certificate of Destruction issued on time as promised. Very friendly and efficient staff. Thank you very much for a perfect service!!
I had to write this comment because I experienced the surprise that started with the first phone call.They was really nice polite and very friendly and helpful, the lady in the office got me booked in.the truck driver who collected it my van was also friendly and helpful and he knows he's job well ,he loaded the van and completed the paperwork with me to scrap my van due to the London ulez expansion ..i received the COD (CERTIFICATE OF DESTRUCTION) by email and the payment for the van was in my account same day . Companies with such employees are always successful in their business.I will definitely recommend it to those around me who want to do business without any problems. Thanks for yours professional service.👍
Fabulous service from a very friendly and helpful...
company and competitive prices for scrapping a car. One thing which would make it a tip top service would be to get a call when you are on your way so we can get on with our day without the worry as pick up was a little later than scheduled. Thank you Lowes for a smooth and easy transaction.
I had to get my Father-in-laws car scrapped for him as part of the ULEZ scheme. I'd never scrapped a car and am not even a driver myself so it was a sudden responsibility after a change in family circumstances meant he wasn't at home to sort it out.
Lowes contacted me quickly, stayed true to their quote and were very quick and professional in dealing with everything from the original phone call to arrange collection right through to providing the certificate of destruction. Many thanks for making the whole process easy as pie! (:
Absolutely wonderful, top notch service! I was a...
bit nervous when scrapping my car and was half expecting someone who was a bit of a delboy to turn up with 5 mates and offer me half of what i'd been quoted but instead a guy called Kyle came and was incredibly friendly and put my mind at ease immediately. The trailer he used to collect the car had the company name on it and he gave me an envelope with my invoice and receipt inside.
He did his checks and helped me sort out the V5C document and the whole process was very professional and genuine. The money went into my account by 5pm as promised and I was very happy with everything.
Thanks again guys, pleasure using your services.
I wish you guys all the best in the future, we need more honest businesses.
Cheers
Tom
This was the slickest and friendliest service I...
have ever come across for scrapping a car. Praise is due to Dawn in the office and Jamie who collected my vehicle. It was that easy. You fill in details on site, get a quote, accept quote, you are contacted to arrange collection, collection is prompt and on time......then wave goodbye to your car as disappears into the ether, to eventually be turned into something else, like another car, or a lawnmower or the metal bits of a metal detector. The possibilities are endless...unlike this sentence.
Great customer service. Dawn arranged collection and explained...
everything on the day of booking. Kyle collected the vehicle ahead of schedule which was really helpful. I then received agreed payment figure later the same day.
It's reassuring that friendly and efficient customer service still exists
Great customer service from Lowes Metals a very...
friendly and helpful company. I originally rang Dawn in the office who explained everything and arranged collection and payment process. Prompt and efficient service at very competitive prices....have used couple times recently... highly recommended
get rid of it and this company helped me a lot by taking care of the car. I called them ,I made an appointment, the price of the car was good (better than most scrap yards around London) and the driver that picked the car is a pro and very helpful. If you want to scarp your car I really recommend this company.
car unfortunately reached it's end of life. Organising vehicle scrappage was a new experience to me and after some shopping around, I committed to them as their price was the best. Would definitely recommend them. Everything was so smooth and timely - from the website, to the phone calls, to the digital communication, prompt and professional collection and swift payment. They also sent the destruction documentation immediately as promised. Very well organised company, great customer service, a pleasure to have worked with and a big well done!
Yes we can! At no extra cost to the order we can get to you within 2 hours of request.
Do i need to do anything before and after collection?
After collection, we’ll contact the DVLA and mark scrappage and issue a certificate of destruction. Then get paid!
How and when will I get paid?
Payment is made the same day by bank transfer, prepaid card or cheque.
Which metals do you take?
All, including: Aluminium, brass, copper, lead, nickel, tin, titanium and stainless steel (non-ferrous grades), iron and steel (ferrous grades).
When do you open?
We are open Monday to Friday 7.30am to 4.30pm and 8.00am to 12.00pm on Saturdays.
