Scrap My Car in Camden, Camden
If a car in Camden has come to the end — failed its MOT on something structural, been written off, or simply reached the point where the next repair costs more than it is worth — scrapping it should be the easy part. We make it that.
We collect scrap cars from every street in Camden with our own truck, free of charge. It does not need to run, have keys or have tyres that hold air. You are paid before we load it.
Collection from anywhere in Camden
Collection is from your door anywhere in Camden — the driveway, the street outside, a garage or a car park. Camden is about 14.2 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Camden High Street or Camden Road (A503), 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.

Where we work in Camden
We collect scrap vehicles across Camden every week. Let us know if it is boxed in, has flat tyres or no keys, and we will bring the right equipment.
If you stop on Camden Road (the A503), 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: Camden Market, The Roundhouse and Regent's Canal, or the stations at Camden Town, Chalk Farm and Camden Road. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
Honest pricing in Camden
You will know the cost before we commit to anything. The vehicle, the collection address, the destination and anything unusual about the job 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.

Scrap My Car in Camden — FAQs
How much will I get for scrapping my car?
It depends mainly on the weight of the vehicle and current metal prices, and whether any parts are reusable. Give us the registration and we will give you a figure on the phone.
How quickly can you reach me in Camden?
Camden is about 14.2 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 Camden High Street and Camden Road (A503). 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.
What paperwork do I need to scrap a car?
The V5C logbook if you have it, and proof of ID. We notify the DVLA and arrange the Certificate of Destruction, which is your proof the car has been scrapped properly.
Do you cover all of NW1, NW3, NW5?
Yes — every street in NW1, NW3, NW5, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of St John's Wood, Islington, Canonbury and Finsbury Park, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Does the car need to be running?
No. It does not need to run, have keys or have inflated tyres — we winch it onto the truck.
My car won't start at Camden Town station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Camden, 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.
When do I get paid?
Before we load the car, by bank transfer.
I have broken down on Camden High Street — 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.
Can I scrap a car without the logbook?
Usually yes, with proof of ownership and ID. Tell us when you ring and we will explain what is needed.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Camden?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Camden, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
