Scrap My Car in Keston, Bromley
If a car in Keston 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.
Scrapping a car from Keston with us is simple: tell us the registration, agree a price, and choose a collection time. We notify the DVLA and arrange the Certificate of Destruction so you have proof it is gone.
Free collection across BR2
We collect from every street in BR2 with our own truck, at a time agreed with you. Keston is about 10.6 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Westerham Road (A233) or Croydon Road, 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.

Local knowledge of Keston
Most of our Keston scrap collections are from driveways and the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks near Keston Common and private land. If the car is somewhere tight off Westerham Road (A233), we winch it out.
If you stop on Westerham Road (the A233), 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.
Landmarks we use to find people in Keston include Keston Common, Keston Ponds, Holwood House and Wilberforce Oak, and Hayes station. If you are lost, tell us what you can see and we will work it out together.
What it costs in Keston
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 Keston — no extras added on the day. We take card and bank transfer.

Scrap My Car in Keston — 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 Keston?
Keston is about 10.6 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 Westerham Road (A233) and Croydon Road. 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 BR2?
Yes — every street in BR2, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Hayes, Bromley, Farnborough Village, New Addington and West Wickham, 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 Hayes station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Keston, 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 Westerham 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 Keston?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Keston, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
