EMR Leeds Pontefract Road

Fast efficient service , All staff helpful and polite

Gone downhill rapidly in the past 6 months. Waste of time. Will pay less then quoted for cars but without telling you so you just end up with less money after you’ve left, slow, hard work. no manager present and nobody to speak to - nobody has a clue what’s going on. Used to be the best in Ashford but now the worst. Go elsewhere if you want your money.

I been served by Steave. This guy was very rude and have an attitude problem.
Copper and brass was in one bag. Without asking and let me separate it, Steave mixed up and left in the bin. Robbed me for £20 straight away because of MIXED BRASS SOLID.
No further business required from this scraped company. Just avoid

P.s Ticket Number: 1400474

use the Worksop emr site weekly so the date of experience is just one of many visits.... absolutely spot on 5 stars great bunch of lads work their easy site to use never waiting to unload easy payment system no issues whatsoever will continue to use as often as possible...

The company has an app where you get a quote for your complete car which includes an estimate for the catalytic converter. This is how these guys have started robbing us…..THEY NOW INFLATE THEIR ESTIMATE FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WITHOUT INCREASING THE OVERALL QUOTE/PAYMENT FOR THE CAR. For example if previously they quoted £300 gross which included an estimate of £50 for the catalytic converter, they now quote the same £300 gross but estimate the catalytic converter at £150 which means they are paying £100 LESS!! DAYLIGHT ROBBERY IF YOU ASK ME!!! ADVICE…..CHOP OFF YOUR CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND SELL THEM ELSEWHERE. LET THEM HAVE THE SCRAP CAR BUT NO CATS.

Great service the lads advised me on what to do as my first time
Went to the office Donna was amazing helped me set up my account
Would highly recommend this to anyone

Somebody from EMR mistakingly changed and updated my account information with someone else’s passport ID and bank details with a similar name to mine which means they paid my money into someone else’s bank account! I have still not received my money that is owed - a week later and still no communication or payment - Please resolve this!

This was caused by no fault
of my own and I shouldn’t have to wait until you’ve managed to recover the money that you wrongly sent to another customer!

Had a collection from they depot at Sharpness on Friday 21st October 2022, collection time was 0730 at 1pm they had only half loaded me but then when I was told il be pulled out by my company at 1415 even with half load seemed like they wanted to rush things then, cause at 1410 resulted in me having a accident causing me to have a back injury. Seems odd why they rushed at this point. This accident has now caused me time off work while the company (EMR) makes money. Why they have drivers sat in cabs whilst loading is beyond me.

Poor Management, quick to pull you on your performance, but very lacking in their own.
Worked form 20/09/22 to the 12/10/22 @ Cross green Leeds site, wasn't supplied with overalls and boot even though I gave my sizes to the lady at the recruitment company. Maintenance staff in a very tight clique with the Maintenance manager and also with the works manager and area maintenance manager, wasn't ever taken round and introduced to personnel, management full of big ideas but basics were never implemented, when they were doing heavy lifting and installation of large parts they didn't follow their own safe working procedures @ nearly maimed/killed a fitter/operator and I could see this coming from days before, too many cooks spoil the broth is the saying, dangerous to rush heavy work, accident waiting to happen!
No doubt they will get away with it, IE, cover it up.
If know one is demoted/ and or seriously reprimanded, the coverup must be from the top down.
The lads on the shop floor were great and would always help me.
The Place is a death trap waiting to happen.
They're certainly not a welcoming company to work for.
Don't work here if you expect to be looked after.

Don’t use them i visited the Wandsworth branch on the 1st of September and took in some 114 kg of house holdcable 129kg heavy copper 119kg low grade cable 4kg electric motor they gave me my ticket for £1,084.50 i then drove round and tipped some iron and then back on the weigh bridge and got a ticket for £32.50 total £1,117 pounds this was on a Thursday Friday morning I went to work and the boys at work asked how much money did we get i showed them the ticket and I paid 3 of them £250 each and £250 for me £117 for the apprentice as far as I was concerned what was on the ticket was correct on the Saturday my wife said that they had only paid in £657 76 in to my bank account so I had to wait till Monday morning to call them for the lady on the phone to tell me that they had graded it wrong and that was all I was going to get if I didn’t like it to come back and sort it out with the boys? After calling customer service and spoke to a lady she put me through to the manager at Wandsworth who was going to sort it out and call me back after waiting couple of days i called back and he told me that the area manager was going to call me to sort it out i have made phone calls and phone calls just to be told that the manager is on holiday and that the area manager is going to call me lady on the phone at Wandsworth said that I can not have the phone number of the area manager i am basically out of pocket off over £500 because they made a mistake if i hadn’t called them back Monday morning to complain and find out why they had no intention to call me and let me know about there mistake how many more people have been ripped off by them changing their minds after they have given you your ticket Steve

Avoid this place at all cost employment wise and selling them anything. They do not respect anyone especially people of color. They are openly racist and talk to the employees any kind of way. There are companys out there that will treat people way better and as far as selling them anything I would go to Sgt. Scrap at least they respect you and pay u what your supposed to get payed

Phoned them. Got a fair price. They took the car the next day and paid the money straight into my account. Excellent.

worked for them for 4 years, absolute horribe people to work with, the bullying, the nastiness, the hatred atmosphere, best day when i quit and walked out.
Lincoln Depot

The service you get at Emr bank hall Liverpool is first class very friendly staff donna even made me 2 pieces of toast lovely people great environment to work

It's not worth a star it's 7:30 on Monday morning and it's not clean we can't go in to download it is in the Sandwell area , I sit and wait 2 hours for it to clean.it is not OK

Took what I thought was a little scrap and got treated as if I was royalty, really nice cheerful and helpful guys with more than a joke or two in them ! Highly delighted with payment amount and would not go anywhere else in the future. Well done guys.

They made an offer on their app and didn't stick to it they were actually £43 short even though car was complete ,cat was valued at £1 more than they said, key was there, 5 alloys battery as well when I asked why "oh thats what the system says " no explanation SELLER BEWARE
This is EMR at Portsmouth Dundas spur

First time ever as a woman going to the scrap yard. I needn't have worried because I was treated very respectfully by every man in that place. I would definitely go back again. Much better to take scrap into EMR than just dispose of it, since it reduces environmental pollutants if it is recycled rather than going to land fill. It is also supporting local industry - and the men working there were really nice. Richard and Russell especially helped me; one helped me to unload my car and the other even promised not to reveal my weight to anyone when I had to drive my car onto the weigh bridge! (He looked trustworthy).
New to scrap yards? Rest assured that you can go there with complete peace of mind; just take your photographic identification driving license or passport and bank account details. They set you up an account should you want to return again. All very professionally executed, I received the scrap money the next morning into my bank account £44.50 - Thank you

Great service from start to finish.
got a quote, left my details and received a call to confirm. car was collected and paid full quoted price. never scrapped a car before so wasn't sure how to go about it but these guys made it so simple. also gave the best price for my scrap.

Great service, friendly staff, the lady at front desk is always helpful.
