Car Transport in Ilford, Redbridge
Our transport service covers every street in Ilford and runs nationwide. Send us the two postcodes and the vehicle details and we will come back with a fixed price, usually the same day.
Not every job is an emergency. We move a great many vehicles to and from Ilford by appointment: cars bought at auction or online, project cars that are not road legal, SORN vehicles that cannot be driven, and trade movements for local garages and dealers.
Collection from anywhere in Ilford
Our own truck does the collection in Ilford, so there is no courier and no third party involved. Ilford is about 6.9 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Eastern Avenue (A12) or North Circular (A406), so same-day and next-day collections are normally easy to arrange. The vehicle does not need to run — non-runners, no-key vehicles and flat tyres are all fine.

Around Ilford: roads, landmarks and stations
We regularly move cars in and out of Ilford — garage-to-garage transfers, dealer deliveries and private sales. Tell us about parking, gates or a steep drive and we will bring the right truck and winch.
With 3 stations nearby — Ilford, Seven Kings and Gants Hill — commuter car parks are a regular call-out here; tell us which one and whether it has a barrier.
If you do not know the street name, a landmark is just as good: The Exchange Ilford, Valentines Park and King George Hospital, or the stations at Ilford, Seven Kings and Gants Hill. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
Fixed price, agreed before we start
We do not work from a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The vehicle, the collection address, the destination and anything unusual about the job all change the work involved. Ring 07961 100260 with the details and we will give you one fixed price for Ilford — no extras added on the day. We take card and bank transfer.

Car Transport in Ilford — FAQs
How do I get a price for moving a car?
Send us the collection and delivery postcodes, the make and model, and whether it runs. We usually come back with a fixed price the same day. Ring 07961 100260 or use the quote form.
How quickly can you reach me in Ilford?
Ilford is about 6.9 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 30 to 50 minutes, normally coming in via Eastern Avenue (A12) and North Circular (A406). 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.
Can you move a car that does not run or has no keys?
Yes. Non-runners, no-key vehicles and cars with seized brakes are winched onto the flatbed. Let us know in advance so we bring the right equipment.
Do you cover all of IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4?
Yes — every street in IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Barkingside, Stratford, Thamesmead and Woolwich, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Do you collect cars from auctions?
Yes — we regularly collect from the major auction houses. Send us the lot details and release paperwork, and we will collect and deliver to your door or your garage.
My car won't start at Ilford station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Ilford, 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.
Is my car insured while you transport it?
Yes. We carry goods-in-transit insurance as well as public liability, and certificates are available on request.
I have broken down on Eastern Avenue — what should I do?
That is a main road, so safety first: if the car can roll, get it to the kerb or into a side road, switch on your hazards, and wait somewhere safe away from the traffic — not in the car. Then ring 07961 100260. Red routes and bus lanes are enforced quickly, so we prioritise moving vehicles off them.
Do you move cars outside London and Kent?
Yes. Emergency call-outs are local by necessity, but pre-booked transport runs nationwide.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Ilford?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Ilford, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
