Local knowledge of Elmers End
In and around Elmers End we are most often clearing collisions on Elmers End Road, at the busy junctions near Elmers End Green, and on the approaches to Elmers End station. We carry the equipment to deal with debris and fluid spills so the road can reopen quickly.
If you stop on Croydon Road (the A222), it is a main road — get the vehicle to the kerb or a side street if it will roll, put the hazards on and wait somewhere safe, not in the car.
If you do not know the street name, a landmark is just as good: Elmers End Green, South Norwood Country Park and Kelsey Park, or Elmers End station. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
Fixed price, agreed before we start
You will know the cost before we commit to anything. Where the vehicle is, where it needs to go, what it is and whether anything makes it awkward — no keys, will not roll, a tight spot — all change the work involved. Once we have agreed a figure, that is what you pay — nothing is added afterwards. We take card and bank transfer.

Accident Recovery in Elmers End — FAQs
What should I do straight after an accident?
Make sure everyone is safe and call 999 if anyone is hurt or the road is blocked. Swap details with the other driver, take photos of the scene and the damage, and then ring us on 07961 100260. If the police are on scene, tell them we are on our way.
How quickly can you reach me in Elmers End?
Elmers End is about 11.3 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 40 minutes to an hour, normally coming in via Elmers End Road and Croydon Road (A222). Traffic, the time of day and how many jobs are running all move that, so when you ring 07961 100260 we give you a real window for that moment rather than a best case.
Will my insurer pay for the recovery?
Often, yes — accident recovery is usually part of a claim. Keep the reference number we give you and pass it to your insurer or claims company. We are happy to speak to them directly and send our invoice and storage details.
Do you cover all of BR3?
Yes — every street in BR3, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Penge, South Norwood, Anerley and Beckenham, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Can you store my car while the claim is sorted?
Yes. We can keep the vehicle at our gated, monitored yard in Erith until your insurer decides whether to repair or write it off. You can visit to collect belongings by arrangement.
My car won't start at Elmers End station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Elmers End, usually for a flat battery after the car has sat all day. Tell us which car park and roughly where you are parked. If it has a height barrier or a pay-on-exit gate, mention that too and we will send the right vehicle and sort the exit with you.
Can you repair the damage as well?
Yes. Our own workshop handles accident and bodywork repairs, so if you want, the car can go straight from recovery into repair without a second tow. If your insurer insists on an approved repairer, we will deliver it there instead.
I have broken down on Elmers End Road — what should I do?
Put your hazards on, stay visible and ring 07961 100260. Give us the nearest house number or junction and we will tell you exactly where we will load. If the street is tightly parked we may winch the car out rather than reverse in, so it helps to know how much space there is.
Do you clear the road after a collision?
Yes. We clear debris and deal with minor fluid spills so the road can reopen, and we work alongside the police and highways teams where they are involved.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Elmers End?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Elmers End, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
