Most of our Shortlands scrap collections are from driveways and the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks near Shortlands Golf Club and private land. If the car is somewhere tight off Shortlands Road, we winch it out.
With 2 stations nearby — Shortlands and Ravensbourne — 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: Shortlands Golf Club, Church House Gardens and River Ravensbourne, or the stations at Shortlands and Ravensbourne. A dropped pin from your phone works too.

Scrap My Car in Shortlands — 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 Shortlands?
Shortlands is about 9.3 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 Shortlands Road and Beckenham Lane. 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 Bromley, Beckenham, Downham and Bickley, 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 Shortlands station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Shortlands, 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 Shortlands 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.
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 Shortlands?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Shortlands, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
