East Lothian mixes coastal commuter towns on the Forth with arable farmland inland — sea-air corrosion meets ageing farm runabouts, with Edinburgh's LEZ a short drive west adding pressure on older diesels.

East Lothian towns with their own local page
Pick your town for local collection details, the postcodes we cover and the neighbourhoods our trucks are in most.
These towns don’t have their own page yet, but they sit on exactly the same uplift rounds — the form works for every postcode below.
Prestonpans
Prestonpans (EH32) runs along the shore through Cockenzie, Port Seton and Cuthill. Salt off the Forth eats into sills here, so we buy rust-worn cars as they stand, with the corrosion priced in and the uplift booked free after your WhatsApp offer.
North Berwick
Out at the coast on EH39, North Berwick reaches Dirleton, Fenton Barns and Whitekirk. Whether the car still drives or has stopped for good, the form returns a firm figure via WhatsApp and the collection that follows costs nothing.
Dunbar
Dunbar (EH42) takes in West Barns, Belhaven and Spott at the county's eastern end. Seafront cars carry coastal rust as standard, never a reason for us to refuse one; the offer on WhatsApp is firm and the uplift is free.
Gullane
Gullane (EH31) joins Aberlady, Drem and Muirfield along the golf coast. A car parked near the links picks up salt damage we expect and price in, so send the registration through for a fixed offer and a free booked collection.
Longniddry
Longniddry (EH32) runs out to Seton Sands, Aberlady and Gladsmuir on the shore road. We buy MOT failures and non-starters exactly as they are, with the figure agreed in writing first and payment cleared on the day.
Wallyford
Inland of the coast on EH21, Wallyford reaches Whitecraig, Dolphingstone and St Clement's Wells. The same short form covers each address, returns a firm offer on WhatsApp, and the uplift that follows is arranged free around you.
Ormiston
Ormiston (EH35) takes in Cousland, Pencaitland and Humbie in the farm country south of the A1. Distance adds nothing here; reg and postcode in, a fixed figure via WhatsApp, and a free collection from any of those villages.

East Lothian runs from the commuter towns hard against Edinburgh out to the arable farmland and golf coast beyond. Two things shape the cars we see: sea air along the Forth, which rots bodywork on anything parked near the shore, and the ageing runabouts that keep going on the farms inland. Edinburgh's clean-air zone, a short drive west, adds older diesels to the mix. We buy across all of it, runners included, with the strongest figures on the failed, the corroded and the no-longer-going.
Because the county threads neatly down the A1 and along the shore, a driver can string Musselburgh, Haddington, North Berwick and Dunbar into one efficient pass, then loop inland to the villages around Gifford and East Saltoun without anyone paying for the detour. Whether your car waits on a seafront kerb or a farm steading, the price we send you on WhatsApp is the price you keep. Accept it, pick a day, and the driver does the rest.
At collection the V5C is signed over, the DVLA is notified on the spot, and your instant bank transfer is sent before the car is loaded.
