Andy, Jo and Jack everyone on non- ferrous are doing a brilliant job plus I think personally the lads on the ferrous yard can learn alot from them

Rank

In the last year I have visited this company twice, last year I weighed in some scrap the money was paid into someone else’s account, I enquired about it they said we will come back to you, I am still waiting. Against my better judgement last week I took a small amount of metal in and checked at the site office my account details were correct. You guessed it the money has gone into another account, I complained someone was getting back to me yesterday you know the story. Do Not use this company everything about their account management and customer service is rank, their moto should be we will get back to you but in the meantime go away.

Wouldn’t recommend to anyone

Wouldn’t recommend to anyone. (I am a previous staff member) EMR are robbing customers blind.

They will knock you KG on every load so they are up on stock. The management in EMR is absolutely disgraceful how they treat their staff and how they treat customers is beyond unacceptable. The staff are over worked and underpaid.

Liverpool - Bankhall - Doesn’t have a proper manager running the place, only a trainee manager and doesn’t know anything about the yard.

They have staff opening and closing up who aren’t IOSH trained which is a risk in itself. They do not care about their staff in the slightest so why would they care about their customers??

DO NOT USE.

Can't fault EMR Strood for service and price

I have been going to EMR Strood for about 15 years now and normally can't be bothered to leave a review. EMR Strood have been so helpful over this time. Their customer service would put many companies to shame the whole team have been so helpful at making sure I get the best price. Sometimes they help me to separate if I miss something special thanks to Bruno for that. Their prices are really good no matter what you are told. I am a one man band and check out the competition locally. Lead battery prices are the best I have found in Medway. Keep doing what your doing.

Only one star because zero stars isn't an option.
Probably the worst price in the country for mixed scrap being approx half what other yards are paying. To make matters worse they were deducting 40kg without telling us for "rubbish in appliances". If you do use them check for W.DED (with deductions) value on your blue ticket, but would advise going litterally anywhere else.

Very easy to get your online quote for scrapping your car. Once accepted I received a call a few hrs later to agree collection 2 days later. I was advised the recovery driver would ring me 30mins before arriving. The time was between 10am and 3pm. So about 12am I had to go for an appointment. I got a call from the recovery driver saying he was 10mins away! I said I was told you would call when 30mins away? He said well I'm 10mins away. I said ok I will be with you in 20mins. He said he would have to ring his boss and ring me back. He didn't ring. I rang him and he red buttoned me every time. I rang EMR and advised. EMR rang me back and apologised for the recovery company and booked me back in for 3 days later. This time a different recovery company collected my car and rang 40mins before arriving. They were from Gloucester and were so helpful. Explained everything to me and were genuine nice guys. The money was In my bank within a couple of hrs too. Well done to EMR for swapping the recovery company. I would have scored 5 stars except for the 1st let down on recovery

I visited EMR in southampton city today and as a none trade customer I found the service I received second to none. Jordan in the weighbridge office was incredibly polite and helpful, myself being disabled with spine issues thinking it would be hard work I was just so pleasantly surprised how easy Jordan made it for me. Thank you and well done all. 👍👍

Excellent Car Scrappage Company

Excellent service from EMR in Brentford. After being let down twice by another scrappage company, EMR provided a fast, efficient and friendly service. They collected my car within a couple of days of my request and I was sent the Certificate of Destruction a few days later. Good communication throughout. Highly recommend. Thank you
