Scrap My Car in Croydon, Croydon
We collect scrap cars from every street in Croydon 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.
If a car in Croydon 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 come to you in Croydon
Collection is from your door anywhere in Croydon — the driveway, the street outside, a garage or a car park. Croydon is about 13.9 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Wellesley Road (A212) or Purley Way (A23), so same-day and next-day collections are normally easy to arrange.

Scrap My Car in Croydon — 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 Croydon?
Croydon is about 13.9 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 Wellesley Road (A212) and Purley Way (A23). 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 CR0, CR2, CR7, CR9?
Yes — every street in CR0, CR2, CR7, CR9, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of East Croydon, West Croydon, South Croydon and Waddon, 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 East Croydon station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Croydon, 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 Wellesley Road — 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.
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 Croydon?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Croydon, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
